Trevor
Thomas is not a preacher, and he's the first to say that his musical
ability leaves much to be desired. Regardless, he stays extremely busy
all over the country as much as any other Christian artist.
From " Mark Miller" to "Elvis" to "Patrick Henry," actor Trevor Thomas
creates characters that people can laugh at and learn from.
Trevor began performing in early childhood, putting on plays
and puppet shows for the neighborhood kids.
Voted most talented in his senior class, Trevor was cast in every play
produced by his high-school drama department and in several productions
at the University of South Florida in Tampa, where he earned a
Bachelor’s Degree in Communication with a minor in Theatre Performance.
He also acted outside of school, taking jobs in commercials, TV, film,
and local professional theatres. At one time, Trevor wanted to “make it
big” as an actor; however, the Lord had different plans. While still in
high school, Trevor seriously concentrated on a career as an actor and
entertainer. After making trips to church youth camps, he then realized
that Christian drama could be used for much more than Christmas and
Easter musicals. He saw it as a powerful tool for ministry and
evangelism. “Theatre is more popular than ever,” Trevor says. “People
are communicated to through the arts. If you’re doing something
interesting and visual people are captivated .” In 1991, at the age of
18, he began traveling and performing at churches and events. A year
later, after much prayer and counseling, Trevor surrendered to the call
of full-time ministry.
At each appearance, Trevor cleverly combines music, monologues, poems,
sketches, and mime with humor and sincerity, which makes for an
unforgettable worship experience for the believer and a picture of
salvation for the lost. “If a person doesn’t know the Lord, if there’s
something we can do to point them toward Jesus, that’s what we’re all
about,” he says. “The shed blood of Jesus is the only hope for man’s
salvation.”
Now known throughout the country as “Mr. Drama”, Trevor makes
approximately 180 appearances a year. He also conducts drama workshops
and seminars at churches and national and state drama festivals where he
teaches the basics of acting and directing.
“My dreams are fulfilled. As a working actor and entertainer, I get to
do all that I’ve ever known how to do, and serve my Savior while doing
it. I’ve got the greatest job in the world.”
