On his 23th birthday Todd graduated from college and moved to L.A. in June, 2001, to pursue stunt work. Stunt coordinator 'Eddie Matthews', with Genera8xion Entertainment, gave him his first real break in a spot for a Christian organization, Promise Keepers, shot in downtown Norfolk, Virginia, five months later. Ironically, the character that Todd played was named "Tad" and the whole commercial was a chase scene on foot that, in content, looked almost identical to Todd's demo reel. By the end of summer 2002, he got his SAG card after doing a lot of background work, primarily in the morgue on "Crossing Jordan". In the spring of 2003, he set out each day to literally knock on doors in Hollywood. Instead of just "hustling" stunt coordinators, he drove laps around L.A., looking for favor with casting directors, producers, and even well-known actors. One day, Todd walked into the office of veteran casting director and actor Danny Goldman, and said, "I don't have representation, so I'm coming around to meet casting directors in person." Danny replied, "You've got a good face. I like your enterprise. You need to go see an agent at Morgan." So, Danny sent him right over to the Morgan Agency, who signed him commercially. When Todd found out weeks later that Danny had done the voice of Brainy Smurf, he started telling people, "Brainy Smurf got me my agent!" Show less «
