Tony Durant
Tony Durant’s got this weirdly eclectic resume that just sort of jumps around genres and eras, and honestly, it’s kind of impressive how he’s popped up in places you wouldn’t expect. So, Kung Fu Brother (2014): if you’re into those quirky martial arts flicks that don’t take themselves too seriously, that’s right up his alley. Durant brings this kinda laid-back energy, not your typical action hero dude, but somehow it works—he’s got a way of being in the thick of things while still looking like he’s having a laugh at the chaos. The movie itself? Totally bonkers in the best way, with offbeat humor and these wild fight scenes that are more about style than strict realism.
Then, rewind to the early ’80s: No 73. Yep, a British kids’ show, and Durant’s part of that scene too. It’s colorful, loud, and refuses to sit still—much like the era itself. You get that Saturday morning chaos, sketches and games flying around, and Durant mixing it up right in the middle of the fun. There’s a kind of nostalgic charm there, like those old-school TV memories that stick with you for absolutely no logical reason.
And then—curveball—The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Durant’s got a knack for showing up in places you’d least expect, bringing his oddball charisma to late-night TV. Whether he’s riffing with guests or adding his own twist, he’s just got this chameleon vibe. Doesn’t really matter where he lands, he kind of steals the scene in his own weird way.
