Amos Crawley has been working in film, television and radio virtually his entire life, having begun his career at five years old. His credits include recurring and leading roles on series, over 20 MOWs and several Saturday-Morning Cartoons. In addition he has made guest appearances on most of Canada’s finest TV shows and has appeared in films including Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides and the Adam Sandler vehicle Billy Madison. On the other side of the audition room, Amos has worked as a casting associate for New York’s The Bridge Theatre Company, a Manhattan based collective that he also helped to found. Most recently, Raton Laveur, a play which he co-wrote and directed has been a great success at the Toronto International Fringe Festival, garnering excellent reviews and playing to sold out houses. Raton is currently in pre-production for runs in both Halifax and Melbourne, Australia. As a teacher, in addition to private coaching, he has taught the Lights! Camera! Action! Program at the Vaughn City Playhouse and assisted at the Etobicoke School of the Arts. His main focus as a teacher is in helping actors rid themselves of self-consciousness by providing them with a number of tools which allow them to place their focus on the scene and the reader, making for relaxed performances and strong auditions. This kind of relaxation, in conjunction with bold, text supported choices is precisely what is necessary for a working actor and Amos is very happy to be able to aid that process at the beginner and intermediate levels at AAS. A native Torontonian, Amos continues to travel extensively for his work on the stage, as well as continuing to work in all media.
