Some have come by fame because they have walked the ladders while others have come by it because they are associated with those who are famous. Tommy Zizzo came by it as a result of the fame of his mother, Erika “Jayne” Girardi who is an outstanding actress, singer, author, and a television personality.
A police officer with the LAPD, Tommy worked as an explorer in the Jersey City Police Activity League before going to LAPD Academy. He currently works and shuttles between New Jersey and Los Angeles.
Tommy Zizzo Biography
Tommy Zizzo was not what one could regard as a planned child when he was born in 1994. His parents, Thomas Zizzo and Erika Jayne were not yet married when his mother discovered she was pregnant with him. She revealed in her book that she forgot to take her birth control pills as she had no intention of having a child at the time.
Although their relationship was tumultuous, Erica and Thomas still went ahead to get married after the actress and singer discovered she carried a child. The marriage came to an end in divorce in 1996 when Tommy Zizzo was just 18 months old.
Erika got his custody and raised him all by herself for a while before he was taken care of by his father when his mother was pursuing her career. Nonetheless, Tommy later joined his mother again. In 1999, she married an attorney named Thomas Girardi who became a positive influence and another father figure in Tommy’s life.
Despite being a celebrity kid, his mother raised him away from public scrutiny. He went to Rhodes School in New York before proceeding to Los Angeles Police Department Academy where he graduated with honors.
One would expect that with a mother in the entertainment circles Tommy would want to become an actor or even a singer but all he ever wanted while growing up was to be a law enforcement officer and his mother supported him wholeheartedly.
