Tom Bruno, Jr. is a freelance character animator living in Los Angeles.

He attributes his aptitude for character animation to his years acting in and directing theater (which incidentally do NOT include those first eighteen he spent exploiting his six other siblings in the sweatshop / theater most would recognize as his family's garage).

He's a ten year veteran of the visual-effects film industry and has worked client-side with top directors including Roland Emmerich, the Wachowskis, and Barry Sonnenfeld. His film credits include 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone', 'Monster House', 'I Am Legend', 'Speed Racer', and '2012'.

Most recently he made significant contributions during the previs process on 'Battle: Los Angeles' and 'Yogi Bear' and has recently completed character animation on 'Tron: Legacy', 'X-Men: First Class', and the forthcoming 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'.
