General FAQ'S

Question: "How did a lawyer get to be an actor. I went to law school and know how tough it is. Why the change?"

Tom's reply: Perhaps it should be asked, "how did an actor get to be a lawyer?" I went to grad school for an MFA in acting (Chapel Hill, NC). I left after one year. A couple years later, I went to law school. After passing the Minnesota Bar, I was asked to audition for a production of Fiddler on the Roof at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, MN. One year and four shows later, I decided that I needed to reevaluate my career plans. Previously, I had never given my acting career a true shot; I never moved to NYC or L.A. So, after some considerable thought, I felt that I needed to move to NYC. I didn't want to wake up one day at 80 years old and feel that I never gave my acting and singing a chance to make it in the business. That was a few years ago. Thankfully, I have been working ever since as a full-time actor.


Question: "By the way, I know this is awfully personal but, can you tell me if you are single, going with someone or married and how old you are...I have a single friend who is 30 and very pretty but I don't know if you ever date any of your fans?"

Tom's reply: I'm XX years old (in this business it's best not to give the exact age!) and married. Your inquiry flatters me, but I am fortunate to have married a wonderful woman.
