He competed in the first grade in prose and poetry and received a SUPERIOR rating, and at that time he said to his parents ”I want to be an actor.” He even used the words, “This is my calling”. At the age of seven, he heard on the radio about a competition for acting and participated in it and it took off from there. His parents, both being in Law Enforcement, took him to the competition and his career took off from there. Tony’s first Television job “Hand of God” in 2014.

He is represented by JLA Talent Agency and LANDIS-SIMON MANAGEMENT. LEITH BURKE (Mr. Meyers) was born in Queens, NYC to Jamaican parents and grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey. His father was an accountant for United Artists, later MGM and others, and his mother worked for the airlines. Due to his father’s position and his mother’s love of theater (her singing along to Broadway Soundtracks over the vacuum was his weekend alarm clock) he often attended Broadway plays and screenings of UA films in the 70’s and early 80’s now considered one of the richest times in American cinema. He was often confused by films such as The Who’s Tommy and Midnight Cowboy as a kid, but he caught “the bug” nonetheless appearing in his first school production in the 3rd grade. He continued acting in school productions through High School (including a production in Sweden while spending his junior year studying abroad) and when he graduated from St. Joseph’s High School in Metuchen, N.J., he sought a degree in theater. His parents, however, were not so keen on the idea and insisted he focus on his general education. They said they would help finance a degree in anything but. They wanted him to get a more practical degree and promised if he still wanted to act after that, they would be behind him 100%. So it was off to Kent State in Ohio for an aviation degree. He flew planes for a few years and after achieving a private pilot’s license decided life as an airborne bus driver was not for him. It was the only three years of his life that he did not step foot in a theater. After transferring to San Jose State to complete a degree in Advertising he took his first acting class as an elective and within a week was cast in the fall production of West Side Story as Chino. From that point on he was focused on the stage. After leaving San Jose he moved to San Francisco to work and train having read an interview with Denzel Washington where he mentioned having attended the American Conservatory Theater there. Leith followed suit and earned his MFA. After working in the Bay for a few years and finally supporting himself as an actor, he moved to New York where he continued his training while working on “Judgement at Nuremberg” with Maximillian Schell and off Broadway where his dreams began. Years of touring and regional theater eventually led to Los Angeles where he began to focus on film and television while still doing the occasional play. He’s settled in Los Angeles with his wife and two young children where he has appeared in numerous commercials, television shows and small films. Suburbicon marks his major motion picture debut. And for the record, his parents kept their word and are behind him 100%.
