Tony (Anthony) Ferns – Actor
Based in Dublin, with a deep affection for London after a decade living there, I bring a warm, emotionally grounded presence to my work. Trained at the Dublin School of Acting, I continue to grow through regular workshop participation. I have experience in improvisational comedy and enjoy dabbling in stand-up. Outside of acting, I love Zumba, Irish Set Dancing, Box Fit and Park Runs, embracing performance in all its forms.
