tony hendriks – writer/producer
Born in Jamaica, the product of a mixed marriage, Tony’s mother was a woman and his father was a man. He left school at sixteen, enrolled in University of Life, and is still studying. Along the way he’s worked as a musician, truck driver, actor (award winning), stand up comic (award winning), composer, producer of stage (award winning), small screen (award winning) and radio (yes, award winning) and a screenwriter (yes, that’s right, you guessed it, award winning). He also teaches children to swim and youths to be lifeguards (he should win a bloody award for that!).
