Cal Thomas was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He left his
homeland at the age of nine to attend various boarding schools in the
United States, living in Florida, Connecticut and California before
attending college in Massachusetts and moving to New York to pursue his
acting career.
After arriving in Los Angeles in 2002, Cal began writing. His first
screenplay, "Rubi", led to a collaboration with producers Sergio Aguero
and Lynnette Ramirez on the romantic comedy "Lover's Block". Cal was
then hired to adapt the French film "Dis-moi oui" for the American
market. In 2003, he formed Red Jacket Productions. His first project as
a producer, titled "The Last Race", resurrected the love story between
James Dean and Pier Angeli. The project, viewed by then-Paramount Chief
Sherry Lansing, led to Cal's consideration for the role of Prince
Edvard in "The Prince and Me".
In 2004, Cal accepted a role in "Afterthought". He played Elliott
Smithe, a Columbine-type serial killer. The role led to an offer from
Kalpana Singh-Chitnis for a role in "Adios, Mi Amigo", an epic story of
American immigration. Cal plays Jose, a Mexican immigrant crossing the
border illegally with his son and best friend in the early 1970s. The
role in "Afterthought" also led to a cameo as an undercover police
officer in the urban drama "Patrol", which was completed in 2006. That
same year, Cal wrote "Penance", a thriller about a serial killer who
gets his victims to kill themselves as a penance for their own sins.
In 2007, Cal relocated to the Principality of Monaco. He splits his
time between Los Angeles and Monaco.
