Sanders is mainly known for the Vine series Narrating People's Lives, also known as Storytime, for the prank series "Disney Pranks with Friends," and on YouTube for the series Sanders Sides. He reached over 7.4 billion loops and 8.3 million followers on Vine, [10] making his career one of the most successful in this social media platform's short history. As of April 2023, his account on TikTok has a following of 10 million followers. [11] On YouTube, he has two channels, "Thomas Sanders" and "Thomas Sanders and Friends", with the latter being discontinued in November 2021. As of August 2023, his main channel has over 4.1 million subscribers and his second channel has 379,000 subscribers. Sanders has won two Shorty Awards [12] [13] and one Streamy Award, [14] for best Viner and best YouTube comedian, and has been nominated for a Teen Choice Award [15] to "Choice Viner" among other recognitions.

As a singer, Sanders has published one EP in 2013, [16] [17] one album in 2016, [18] and several singles from 2017 [19] onwards. [20] [21] He has had a career in musical theatre in his hometown in Florida since he was a teenager, performing since 2006 in Gainesville and Orlando, Florida, and starring in a tour through 17 cities in the US and Canada with his own stage musical, Ultimate Storytime, based on his Vine series. [22] [23] [24] In 2017, he made a guest appearance on the Disney Channel show Bizaardvark [25] and co-hosted a special episode of the Disney XD show Walk the Prank alongside David Lopez. [26] He has worked as a voice actor in the movie Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe , [3] and in the TV cartoon shows Hamster & Gretel [4] and Kabu . [27]

Early and personal life

Sanders was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida. [28] Sanders's father is a teacher. [29] He has three brothers named Patrick, Christian and Shea. His great-grandfather on his mother's side was born in Ireland. [30] His great-grandmother was a Ziegfeld Follies girl, something Sanders called his "ancestral connection with stage". [31] He started singing in public and took his first steps in acting in middle-school at Kanapaha Middle School, located in Gainesville, singing in several choruses and appearing in several school plays. [32] In his high-school, Buchholz, he started combining acting and singing by doing his first roles in musical plays. [33] Later, Sanders combined his studies at the University of Florida with community theater, joining the Gainesville Community Playhouse from 2006 until 2015. When he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering in 2011, [34] [35] he subsequently combined his daytime job as a manufacturing engineer at a pharmaceutical development company in Alachua [36] with his night-time job in theater, until his success on Vine prompted him to leave that first job and focus on Vine and theater. [28] In June 2017, he publicly came out as gay. [37]

Career

Vine and Sanders Shorts

Thomas Sanders made his debut on Vine as "Foster Dawg", named after his first dog, Foster. [38] [Note 1] on April 14, 2013. An impression of Stewie Griffin from Family Guy in a drive-thru was his first Vine to go viral, leading to continued success on the app. [28] He later rebranded his channel to "Thomas Sanders". His channel reached 1 million followers on Vine in October 2013. [28] His biggest success on Vine was the Narrating People's Lives series, also known as Storytime, where he approached random strangers, comically narrated everyday activities they were doing, and showed their reaction. [40] [41] Other Vine series he is known for are Disney Pranks with Friends, Pokémon Pranks, Misleading Compliments, and Shoutout Sunday, among others. [10] By April 2015, Sanders' Vine account had over 5 million followers, which made Thomas Sanders the 17th most followed Viner at the time. [42]

When Twitter announced that it was closing Vine down at the end of 2016, Sanders announced that he would continue making Vines until the app's last day. [43] When Vine was shut down on January 17, 2017, Sanders had reached 8.3 million followers. [44] Since that date, his short videos, now known as the Sanders Shorts, are first released on his Instagram, where as of November 2018 he has 2.5 million followers. [45]

On February 24, 2015, Sanders appeared as a guest on The View in a segment featuring Vine stars, where he was interviewed about his popularity on Vine, [28] and one of his Vines was featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in their section Vine after Vine. [46] Sanders has collaborated with Viners such as Vincent Marcus, [47] Brandon Calvillo [48] and Amymarie Gaertner, [49] and featured cameos and appearances from figures such as Sean Bean, [50] Nicolle Wallace, [51] Stacy London, [52] Nick Pitera (with whom he did a series of Vines, Unexpected Duets), [53] Brizzy Voices, [53] Gabbie Hanna, [54] Tara Strong, [55] E. G. Daily, [56] Jim Cummings, [57] Dan and   Phil, [58] Adam Pascal [59] and the main actors from Hamilton , Teen Titans Go! and Steven Universe, [60] among others.

YouTube

Sanders opened his official YouTube account on March 15, 2009. [61] After amassing a following through Vine, he started publishing more frequently through YouTube. He had his first YouTube collaborations throughout 2015, consisting of pranks, games and challenges. Up until 2014, his subscriber count grew at a lower rate, with around 80,000 subscribers at the end of that year. [62] From that date, his user count growth started progressively accelerating, having 200,000 subscribers by April 2015 [63] and more than 700,000 subscribers at the end of 2015. [64]

From the second half of 2016, at the same time his Vine activity slowed following Twitter's announcement of Vine's forthcoming closedown, Sanders announced he would be focusing on his YouTube content from then on in order to create more diversely formatted content. As of July 2023, his channel has 4.02 million subscribers. [65]

On October 29, 2018, he debuted a second YouTube channel called "Thomas Sanders & Friends", which would be dedicated to the monthly Sanders Shorts compilations and the unscripted, guest-oriented shows he had done previously on his main channel. The main channel would thereafter be dedicated exclusively to scripted series and shows as well as his music videoclips. [66] His second channel had 396,000 subscribers as of August 2021. [67] In November 2021, Sanders published the last content in this second channel, which has since been quietly discontinued, with its kind of content being brought back to the first channel ever since.

Sanders Sides

Since October 19, 2016, Thomas Sanders has run a YouTube web series called Sanders Sides, formerly co-written with Joan S., [5] in which he discusses personal or existential issues with four main characters, collectively known as the titular "Sanders Sides". Sanders Sides consists of two seasons with a total of 33 episodes as of January 2024, released on a variable periodicity. Season 1 has 17 episodes released from October 19, 2016, to July 19, 2017. Season 2 began on September 1, 2017, and as of January 2024, it has 15 episodes. [68] It is a spin-off from the Vine/Sanders Shorts series, as the characters Patton, Roman and Logan are inspired by characters that had previously debuted on Vine in 2014, as the "Dad Guy", the "Prince Guy", and the "Teacher Guy," respectively. The Sanders Sides are usually all portrayed by Sanders himself. Sanders Sides has featured guest stars such as Lilly Singh [69] , Leslie Odom Jr. [70] , or Butch Hartman who, apart from appearing as himself, created an animated sequence exclusively for Sanders Sides. Tara Strong, who had already appeared in several Vines and Sanders Shorts, also made a voice cameo in Hartman's episode. [71] On November 22, 2019, a companion series titled Sanders Asides was premiered, featuring the Sides in lighter stories in shorter episodes designed, in Sanders' words, to feature stories not directly linked to the main narrative. [72]

The Sanders Sides are "physical-mental projections" of Thomas' mind, [73] and represent different aspects of Thomas' [Note 2] personality. Thomas usually starts each episode as an ordinary vlog about a certain topic or dilemma. The series is mostly comedic, with some more dramatic elements and several ongoing plots.

Theater

Apart from his Internet-based career, Sanders has worked in musical theater at the Gainesville Community Playhouse [28] for productions including Hot Mikado (2007), [74] Singin' in the Rain (2009), [75] [76] The Producers (2010), [77] Anything Goes (2011), [78] Into the Woods (2014), [35] and Les Misérables (2014). [79] In 2015, Sanders did his first professional theater work starring in Heathers: The Musical as J.D. in a production performed in Orlando. [80] From August 8 to September 2, 2016, Sanders went on a stage musical tour, Ultimate Storytime, written by him with songs composed by Jacob Fjeldheim, and based on his Vine series Narrating People's Lives, performing in 17 cities in the US and Canada, including Toronto and New York City. [22] [23] [24] In 2019, Sanders was cast as the understudy for The Beast in Beauty and the Beast [ citation needed ] In 2022, he joined Heathers The Musical in Concert, a benefit concert reunion of the 2015 Orlando cast of Heathers: The Musical, portraying again J.D., which earned him a nomination to Best Performer in a Musical in the 2022 BroadwayWorld Orlando Awards, as well as another nomination together with the rest of the cast to Best Ensemble Performance. [81]

Music

Though critics often classified Sanders as a baritone, [82] he considers himself a bass singer. [83] He has sung primarily on Vine and YouTube. He has performed songs in a wide variety of genres but has personally showed a preference towards jazz music, mentioning Nat King Cole as one of his favorite singers. [84] He has musically collaborated with dodie, Jon Cozart, Ben J. Pierce, Deedee Magno Hall, Adam Pascal, and AJ Rafael. He released his first EP, titled Merry Christmas, on Bandcamp on December 21, 2013; the EP consisted of Christmas songs. [16] [17] In 2016, he released the soundtrack of his Ultimate Storytime stage musical, recorded alongside his co-stars, Terrence Williams Jr., Nicole Visco, Jay Harper (also known as JayIsJo) and Leo Anderson (also known as Leo the Giant). [18] On July 22, 2017, Sanders released on YouTube a new original song titled "The Things We Used to Share", inspired by real events in Sanders' life. [19] It was followed by more singles in 2018 and the announcement of a new EP. [85]
