PRESS & QUOTES:
“Anthony DeVito has a quality that many comedians who act strive for, but few attain - he is an outstanding dramatic actor. He can reach a depth and vulnerability in a role that creates memorable performances. He takes our breath away. And that ability means that his comedic roles have the third dimension we crave. He finds the human being in every role.
- Kelly Kimball, founder Kimball Studio
"Anthony DeVito is not only devastatingly funny, he’s also one of the nicest, most likable guys in comedy. In fact, he’s such a sweet dude one might worry that he’s setting himself up for an ironic tragedy. Nevertheless, we at Drink at Work are convinced that this guy will soon become a household name, and not because of an untimely, unseemly accident. But don’t let his genial off-stage attitude fool you. The moment DeVito starts a set his biting commentary on corporate culture, growing up Catholic and the finer distinctions in ethnicity will leave you howling. And that’s exactly what we love about him: he’s a good guy with bitter dark side. Perfection!"
"I had the great pleasure of working with Anthony DeVito on VH1's "All Access Awesomely Badder Fashion" and "Celebrity Showdown 2". His insights were hilarious. He is completely professional and a gentleman to boot. I would work with him again in a heartbeat."
- Paul Kaup, Producer, VH1
"Anthony is hilarious! I can honestly say I don't know where Fashion Police would be without him!"
- Mark Cina, Us Weekly Magazine
