Mmm...it's good to have land.

About Me

Born in the foothills of rural Mongolia, a place known for treacherous foothills, Tony has lived a charmed if not utterly banal existence. After escaping on camelback from the grasps of the Mongolian oligarchy, he returned to Mongolia only to be captured several minutes later (he was never able to find authentic Mongolian barbecue outside of his native homeland, ergo the return home). Once released, he emigrated to Chile, where he served briefly as the Minister of Ponies under President "Sanchez." It was here that Tony learned to hate ponies. Once his stint of public service was complete he decided it was time to focus on "him" again, and soon moved to New York to pursue a career in acting. He's been in several television shows, including "According to Sean," in which he played Sean's overweight brother, "Oh Patrick!," in which he played Patrick's overweight best friend, and "That's Our Rory," in which he played Rory's thin cousin...who later developed an eating disorder and became overweight. On the weekends, Tony enjoys thinking about weekdays.
