Roger Anthony

About

Native New Yorker. Triple threat. Filmmaker.

Roger Anthony (aka Roger Anthony Dumadag) is an accomplished actor, singer, and musician — as well as a screenwriter, director, and filmmaker. He has appeared in regional theatre across the tri-state area and in independent films and television, including soap opera work. He has been acting since graduating from the William Esper Studio, studying under Vicki Hart.

Roger founded RAD Productions & Flipper Films. He studied digital filmmaking at the New York Film Academy, where he directed his first short, Dollar Nine, and later Why I Fired My Secretary. He has also studied producing, directing, sound design, cinematography, filmmaking, and screenwriting at New York University, and screenwriting at the Gotham Writers Workshop. He has written two feature screenplays — Miss Basketball, a coming-of-age story, and Jaco, an optioned biography of Jaco Pastorius — both of which he hopes to produce and direct.

He began piano at age 10 and has studied guitar, classical guitar, trumpet, and bass (with Patrick Pfiefer). He has played keyboards, guitar, and bass — and sung lead and backup — in wedding, cover, and original bands around New York City, most recently on bass with Untitled Art. He continues vocal coaching with Katie Agresta.

Away from the set, Roger has run for charity with Team in Training for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Since starting in 2006 he has completed 37 half marathons and 13 full marathons, including the 2015 New York City Marathon, and aims one day to qualify for Boston and take on an Ironman.
