Seldom seen on stage, Tom appeared with the late Lee Remick in a
performance of "Love Letters" in 1990, her last appearance before her
death from cancer. He also performed in the same play with Kathy Baker for
several benefits in the Los Angeles area. In 2004 he returned once more
as the Stage Manager in a Seattle production of "Our Town".
It's concentration and luck. There are many prominent people in this business who choose certain types of pictures and play a derivation of a certain character they always play so they are immediately identifiable -- and they are commercially successful because of it. I have never pursued that. I just do films that I would pay five bucks to see.
