To accompany his training, he majored in Film & Media Production in order to better understand every facet of the industry he has always dreamed of working in.
When he’s not performing, Tom can be found playing with his dog, Phoenix- named after Joaquin Phoenix -, going for hikes and exploring outdoors, listening to podcasts, playing the piano, reading in a hammock, or obsessing over his Letterboxd watchlist.
I’ve worked with a lot of actors in my career and tom is hands down the best film actor i have had the privilege to work with. i was in awe. i had to step up my game to get to his level. he made me better… and i am grateful.
