Tom Felton was born in Epsom, Surrey. He has been acting since he was 8 years old.

After working on Anna and the King (1999) with Jodie Foster, Tom received his big break in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) as Draco Malfoy, school boy rival to Harry Potter as played by Daniel Radcliffe. Tom managed to film the part of Draco in all eight "Harry Potter" movies while also having an active life outside the magical world it created. In between shoots he filmed independent horror movies The Disappeared, 13 Hrs, and The Apparition with Twilight's Ashley Greene. It was directly after completing his filming on "Harry Potter" that he landed his roles in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and From the Rough. His newest projects are In Secret, Fangs of War and Attachment.

In between acting gigs, Tom still manages times with his music. He is one of the founding owners and talent of Six String Productions, a recording company devoted to signing young musical artists overlooked by the major recording industry.
