==Life and career==
Rossomando grew up in [[Hamden, Connecticut]].

After dropping out of university in his first year he relocated to [[Boston]] where [[The Damn Personals]] were born. Shortly after, The Damn Personals became a mainstay at popular Boston, Providence, and New York indie venues. They also toured Europe and UK once with [[Cave In]].

In 2003, introduced by Isaac Green of Columbia records, Rossomando met [[Carl Barât]] in New York City and agreed to fill in for Doherty in an upcoming US tour for [[The Libertines]]; this was followed by a trip to London to play [[Top of the Pops]] and [[Reading and Leeds festival]]. Eight months later he rejoined The Libertines to help support the entire worldwide touring campaign for their self-titled second album. It was during this time when Rossomando and Barât began to formulate their ideas that would later embody [[Dirty Pretty Things (band)|Dirty Pretty Things]]. 

In May 2006, [[Dirty Pretty Things (band)|Dirty Pretty Things]] released ''Waterloo To Anywhere'' which reached no. 3 in the UK charts, while the first single "Bang Bang You're Dead" peaked at no. 4. The band toured extensively in the UK, US, Europe and [[Japan]].

''The Rime of the Modern Mariner'', Anthony's first film score, premiered at the East London Film Festival in May 2011 with live orchestral arrangement which also went to several festivals including Latitude, SXSW, and Toronto. The film and score received high praise from many publications including the ''Times'' and the ''Guardian''.

In November 2007, he played the role of Pete Neon in the first episode of the third series of ''[[The Mighty Boosh (TV series)|The Mighty Boosh]]''.

In 2018, Rossomando co-wrote the song "Shallow" with [[Lady Gaga]], [[Mark Ronson]], and [[Andrew Wyatt]]. It was produced by Gaga with [[Benjamin Rice]].
