Thomas has a passion for performing arts, and ranks the subject as his favourite.

Thomas loved taking part in a local production of Les Misérables.
He has always been a keen actor and singer and plans to continue in this vein when he leaves school.
Reading has always been a big hobby of Thomas's – at school his nickname is 'Book Boy', but he adds that there is definitely more to him than that.
So far, Thomas says his biggest achievement was playing Jean Valjean in a local production of Les Misérables. He loved taking part and enjoyed the accolades that went with it. He hopes to be equally as successful in his speaking.
One of Thomas's teachers saw The Speaker website and suggested he should apply for the programme.
Thomas's audition speech was a brave choice - Greek Gods. He chose this subject after becoming obsessed by a book on myths and fairytales bought for him by his Grandma.
Thomas reached Episode 5 of The Speaker.
There are no upcoming episodes.
