“Tony is a born actor and a consummate storyteller. His personality embraces every character he touches, whether he's traditionally animating or doing it in 3D, or physically acting out the part! His gifts are only equal to how humble he is about his them. There's something to be said for hiring captains. Tony is a guy you can trust. When we worked together at Amazon Game Studios I witnessed it first hand. Given any assignment, he made it better. You gave him input, he took it into consideration and then came back with something you hadn't thought of. Time and again I witnessed this and it's effect on the rest of the team. It made them better, too. When we had a chance to develop a character together from concept to moving it was revelatory. Going from a 2D game to a 3D game made his input a huge asset. The team could see the expectations unfold as he ran through exploratory walk/run cycles and combat. Don't let him kid you, he's skilled draftsman. If you can keep him from throwing away his art, you'll be a better man than I am. Nothing is too precious with him. If it doesn't work he figures out how to make it work. How to make you care about the characters and the implied story in every movement they do. Tony made even the more difficult times of game production fun, and enjoyable. Our time together was far too short.”
