One of the other young acts who performed on the same episode were the R&B band of five brothers named B5.
12As the Houston winner of The Apollo Theater's nine city tour searching for Apollo's "Star of Tomorrow", he was flown to New York City to be a guest singer on the famed Apollo Theater stage in Harlem. He was 11 years old when he sang "I Think She Likes Me" to a warm and cheering Apollo crowd who clapped along to his song.

21His role in "Beneath the Darkness" was a direct offer. Director Martin Guigui said that it was actually while reviewing some of Oller's music videos that he knew that Oller would have the acting depth necessary for the lead role in this feature film, a thriller slated for January 6, 2012 release.

49He owns two Italian greyhound dogs named TIG and Snoopy. TIG's name is an acronym which stands for Tony's Italian Greyhound. He was Tony's first dog and was Tony's biggest fan.
