TONY HENDRIKS - Writer/Producer [email protected] T.H.E. Picture Company Limited USA 941.840.3708 JA 876.427.5404 Jamaican born. The product of a mixed marriage: my mother was a woman and my father was a man. A writer, producer, actor, stand up comic, musician and husband. Not always in that order. Plied my trade in Jamaica, the UK, USA, Caribbean, Europe and a couple of prisons, where I made captive audiences laugh and escaped unscathed. These days I concentrate exclusively on writing for film and TV. Majority of the voices in my head are Jamaican, however I am frequently inhabited by characters of other genders, nationalities and ethnicities. My wife, cat and I live in Florida (since 2015) because I got to Kingston and other parts of Jamaica regularly. I'm a director of T.H.E.
