Tony Dakota was a child actor of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Two of Tony's best-known roles are as Clavo, the adopted nephew of Peter DeLuise's Doug Penhall on the hit TV show 21 Jump Street, and as Georgie Denborough, the younger brother of Jonathan Brandis who was the first victim of Tim Curry's Pennywise the Dancing Clown in Stephen King's It.

On 21 Jump Street someone else played Clavo in Clavo's first appearance on the show in the episode "La Bizca", where Penhall first brought him home, but in the next episode "Last Chance High" Tony took over the role and appeared in several episodes that were about Doug Penhall since, making his last appearance in the episode "Number One With A Bullet", where Penhall was shot and almost died.

Tony acted in Who's Harry Crumb? (1989) with John Candy and had a small part in Immediate Family (1989).
