Tom has as varied a resume as any actor you are ever likely to encounter. In fact, when we first started our conversation, I said that I felt an urgency to cover enough ground to fairly represent him. Tom’s easy manner removed any concern I may have had.
We talked soon after he had returned from Ottawa, where he was performing in “Salesman in China”, the same production that premiered at the Stratford Festival this past season. Back home, where he is always happy to spend time, Tom discussed the early influences that helped to shape both his dreams and his approach to the work that would define his professional life. He pays special tribute to many of the people with whom he has worked and from whom he has continued to learn.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
