THE THOUGHT JUNKIE



A Filipino-American figure in Hollywood, Thomas Orlina is in the business of content creation. Thomas is a host, an executive producer, and a recording artist. With over ten years of experience in the entertainment industry under his belt, Thomas has had experience in celebrity entertainment news, unscripted and scripted television, production, public relations, and many others.

His YouTube show, 'Your Time with Thomas,' has gained a steady following and depicts Thomas' daily life, and highlights his passions as well as his Filipino heritage. Thomas says it was a recent trip to the Philippines with his father that made him fall even more in love with his ancestry. '[It] was a life-changing experience. It allowed me to see the country, visit Boracay and Coron, meet remarkable people, learn more about my heritage, and get a full understanding of my cultural background.'
