Biography

Antonio Tocari St. James is an American actor known for his roles in the films "Gone Girl" and "Osi", as well as television shows such as "Chicago P.D." and "Empire". From a very young age, Antonio showed a strong passion for theater and the performing arts, by constantly reenacting scenes from one of his favorite films: the 1987 cult classic "Little Shop of Horrors". He had a very strong desire to play the role of the insatiable Venus Flytrap, Audrey II.

Even though he would have very small roles in the high school productions of "Othello" and "Little Nell", it wasn't until he joined the Drama Ministry at his childhood church, that he decided to pursue acting professionally. With roles in other hit shows such as, "The Chi", "Sense 8", "A.P.B.", "Shameless", and the blockbuster film "Gone Girl", it seems as though Antonio made the right decision to become an actor. He is quoted as saying, "Before I leave this earth I want to make a huge contribution to the film world, in a positive way. I want to inspire others, and I want my mother and brother to be very proud of my accomplishments. That is what truly matters the most to me." He is also one of the founding members of the student-based organization Film Club for his former high school, which has grown in popularity over the years.
