Theodore Newton is a writer, actor, and producer born and bred in San Diego and based in Los Angeles. After several years acting and performing on stages in New York City, he moved back to his home state of California to pursue his first love of writing, receiving his Masters Certificate in Screenwriting at UCLA.

Off the screen, Theo has written short films and two up and coming feature screenplays, one of which is based on his own experiences as a new father and girl-dad.
