The American actor and director Thomas Mann—often referred to simply as Thomas—first rose to prominence with his breakout performance in the 2012 found footage teen comedy Project X, a film that truly put Thomas on the map. As Thomas continued building his career, he took on more diverse roles, including a leading part in the 2014 biographical comedy-drama Kid Cannabis, which further showcased his range as an actor. Then, in 2017, Thomas stepped behind the camera for the first time, making his directorial debut with the short romantic comedy Horseshoe Theory—a project that highlighted not only his acting talent but also his growing skills as a filmmaker.

Before all the fame and red carpet moments, Thomas had already begun making small appearances in front of the camera. One of his earliest roles came in 2010 when Thomas appeared in an episode of the comedy series Pretend Time, a stepping stone that helped launch his journey in Hollywood. On a personal note, Thomas shares a close bond with his sister Emily, who has been a constant presence throughout his life. From those early days to now, Thomas has steadily evolved, both in front of and behind the lens, proving that his passion for storytelling runs deep.
