Thomas Plet (born December 28. 1979) also known as "The Silverfox" is a Danish actor, screenwriter and producer. He was educated at the former Scandinavian School of Performing arts in 2004. In 2005 he had minor roles in movies such as "Brutal Incasso" and "The Big Day", and suddenly he disappeared from the acting scene, his where-a-bouts are not yet known, but he was writing on a screenplay, and returned to the industry in 2009. Thomas grew up in a small Danish city named Esbjerg, but at the age of nine his mother took him to Stavanger, Norway, where he would spend the next 10 years before returning to his native land. He finished his highschool up there, and came back to Denmark in 1998 to pursue his acting dreams.

During his time in Norway, he began at the age of 16 to study the martial arts style Kyokushinkai, a karate-system developed by Masutatsu Oyama. Kyokushinkai is known for it`s very hard and strict training principles creating excellent karatekas. Thomas very quickly gained the 1. Kyu which is the brown belt, but this happened in 1998 where he went to Denmark, so he `could not finish the graduation for 1.Dan due to the rules that there must go minimum one year between 1.Kyu and 1.Dan graduation. In Denmark he worked for a year in his birth city with various jobs, dreaming of the world of acting, and training yet another karate-system now Okinawan Shuri-Ryu in Esbjerg Karate School where his father was soon to become chairman. Karate was also trained by Thomas sisters and brother. In 1999 Thomas was drafted for the Danish military an went there for one year while maintaining his karate training, and within one year gaining the 4. Kyu. violet belt in Okinawan Shuri-Ryu. Yet he was allowed to keep his Brown belt on in this system. After the army Thomas moved to Aalborg where he would do some karate training simply for tournaments however after a few tournaments he didn`t believe these tournaments to be real, points doesn`t create a real champion was his opinion, only by a knockout or a submission one can talk about winning.

He continued to think about beginning in an acting school, and in the meantime he trained in 2001 until 2002 judo under his friend Norbert Szabo a judoka from Miscolc, Hungary, Thomas felt in order to become an ultimate fighter it is alfa-omega to know a great variety of both standing fight, ground fight, about chokes and arm bars etc. From 2002 until 2003 he didn`t train martial arts at all, only weight training, and in 2003 he was accepted in the Scandinavian School of Performing arts. Finally his dream was in reach to attend and acting school. This year developing his acting skills, he stayed in shape with fysical training in school, but in the early 2004 he began training by the principles and philosophy of Jeet Kune Do under Jacob Aabye in Svanemøllehallen, Copenhagen, however despite he loved this training and finally found what he had been looking for when it came to real life combat, he was forced because of personal reasons to return to his homecity Esbjerg only 3 months later, and his acting school had to turn in their keys, after 20 years of teaching because of financial problems. Back in Esbjerg he didn`t stay long until falling in love with a woman, but that period of time was gonna change his life. After one year he ended the relationship with this woman due to some personal problems with the Danish government so to speak, but this led him to 4 years of solitude where he would do no Martial Arts training, no acting, but he was developing his skills about nutrition, ways of thinking and began writing his first screenplay. And in 2009 he returned to the world of martial arts, and began his training in Copenhagen. Mixed Martial Arts, MMA, finally he was led to the one sport that he wanted to succeed in. In 2010 he will have his first PRO-fight in MMA.
