Thomas Kadman - Biography

Born to an English father and Italian mother, he is bilingual and equally familiar with the cultures of Cambridge and Monza. He graduated from the University of Bologna with first class honours in Film, and has diplomas from both the Campo Teatrale and Tam Tam drama schools in Milan. Starring in I See, winner of the satire category at the 2004 New York International Independent Film&Video Festival, Kadman played a vulnerable, insecure, naïve young man barely out of his youth, visiting a fortune teller. The part earned him a Best Actor nomination. In 2003 he co-starred as an anxious, confused, impressionable young man in the TV docudrama L'uomo dell'argine (The Man of the Embankment) directed by Gilberto Squizzato. Early in 2004, and with the same director, he featured in Sister Jo; in complete contrast now playing a possessed and conniving gang land hard-case. I See was co-written and produced by him with director Vins Blake. The last release from their team work is the short film "Imagined", in which he plays 6 different characters: a business man, a young lover, a secret agent, a robber, a scuba diver and a bored waiter
