Street Bike Tommy
Story By Josh Rudderforth
Tommy Passemante is a guy who's a lot like his character on MTV's Nitro Circus: portly, lovable, and often the butt of a joke. Though Tommy often seems to be a scapegoat for television ratings, he's actually articulate, genuinely funny, and very much the kind of guy you'd be lucky to have as a friend. He is a typical fun loving southern Anne Arundel County, Maryland dry wall hanger turned national celebrity through calculated bouts with pain and carelessness. He has spent the last year traveling the world with the Nitro Circus live show and more recently to promote the new movie “Nitro Circus The Movie 3D.” I met up with Tommy in Davidsonville Maryland to talk about his past, his new movie, and where he wants to go from here.
