As an actor, writer and producer, Tom Malloy is a passionate and driven filmmaker committed to telling compelling stories with a commercial appeal.

Many of these projects are developed through the production company he founded in 2005, Trick Candle Productions. Under his guidance, the company has produced six films, the last two of which have received theatrical distribution.

A critically acclaimed actor, Tom wowed Hollywood with his stunning turn in the indie cult favorite GRAVESEND in 1998, which was produced by Oliver Stone. Disenchanted with the typical actors’ process of waiting around until someone hires you for a role, Tom made it his business to learn as much about the filmmaking industry as possible. Over the years,

Tom has raised more than $25 million in private equity from independent financiers and
has written, produced and starred or co-starred in nearly all the films that Trick Candle
has made (save the two documentaries).

Some of these films include LOVE N’ DANCING, which was directed by Rob Iscove
(She’s All That), and stars Amy Smart, Tom Malloy, Billy Zane, Rachel Dratch, and Betty
White; the psychological thriller THE ALPHABET KILLER, directed by Rob Schmidt
(Wrong Turn, Crime & Punishment in Suburbia) and stars Eliza Dushku, Cary Elwes,
Tom Malloy, Timothy Hutton, Michael Ironside, and Oscar Winner Melissa Leo; and a
thriller directed by Mary Lambert called THE ATTIC, starring John Savage, Malloy, and
Elisabeth Moss.

As an actor, Tom has also appeared in principle roles on LAW & ORDER, THIRD
WATCH, KIDNAPPED, THE SIEGE (with Denzel Washington) and ANGER
MANAGEMENT.

In addition to his work as a filmmaker, Tom is an accomplished author whose book
BANKROLL: A New Approach to Financing Feature Films is considered the “gold
standard” of indie film financing instruction. A second edition is due out in 2012.

Tom has also competed and taught classes in the smooth, hip-hop dance style known as
West Coast Swing. He was trained by seven time U.S. Open Champion Robert Royston in
Swing and has trained in Salsa with World Champions Gary and Diana McDonald.

Finally, Tom is a nationally known motivational speaker for adults and kids and has
traveled across the country spreading his positive message to students of all ages. Over
the years, he has spoken to more than 100,000 students.
