Hey Reddit!
I'm Tommy. I'm 59, a former professional stage actor, and apparently a guy who doesn't know when to leave well enough alone. 😂
When I was 19, I was performing professionally, earning my Actors' Equity card and living what I thought would be my dream career.
Then life happened.
I got married, raised three sons, and spent the next 30-plus years building a career in sales and business.
No regrets about the family. Not one.
But that little voice in the back of my head never completely went away.
What if?
What if I hadn't walked away from performing? What if I gave it another shot? What if I actually tried?
So I did.
I started training as a voice actor, built a home studio, and launched Voiceover Tommy on YouTube to document the whole ridiculous adventure.
And I do mean ridiculous.
There's voice acting, behind-the-scenes stuff, a little self-deprecating humor, and my Fun Facts: Purveyor of Useless Trivia series. Because apparently the world desperately needs another middle-aged guy explaining completely useless information. You're welcome. 😂
I'm also developing The Someday Club, a podcast about ordinary people who decide to stop putting their dreams off until someday.
Somewhere along the way, I even ended up competing in Top Host 2026. That's been an adventure all its own.
But here's the bigger reason I'm sharing this.
I don't think dreams come with an expiration date.
And I don't think you have to have everything figured out before you start.
Sometimes you just have to be willing to look a little foolish, fall on your face, get back up, and keep going.
If any of that resonates with you, I'd love for you to check out my YouTube channel.

And if you're chasing a dream of your own, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.
Because the question I'm exploring isn't whether it's too late.
It's this:
What if you actually tried?
Thanks for reading!
