	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Thomas McDonell, born in 1990, in New York City, USA, is an American actor, artist, and musician.

Prior to landing his first leading role as Jesse in the 2011 Walt Disney Pictures "Prom", McDonell'd only acted twice before. He had a small role in "The Forbidden Kingdom" while studying art in Shanghai and in 2010, played another small role in the limited release "Twelve", which starred Kiefer Sutherland. He also guest-starred on the long-running TV series "Law & Order: Criminal Intent".

In 2011, McDonell landed his big break when he was cast as the younger version of Johnny Depp's character, Barnabas Collins, in Tim Burton's 2012 film "Dark Shadows", it was inevitable that comparisons would be drawn. After all, he's a hot up-and-comer, and he just so happens to look exactly like a young Johnny Depp.

Aside from acting, McDonell is also an artist. His artwork has been exhibited internationally, and he has also curated several exhibitions, focusing primarily on the work of his emerging peers.

In addition, McDonell is the lead singer in a four-piece rock-and-roll band called "Moon" that released their first CD in June 2010 and also has a song, 'Time Stand', on the "Prom" soundtrack.
