| 1 | I truly believe that MFA and BFA programs should have their version of the Dale Carnegie Course for actors in their programs. Talent is talent and business is business, and many actors don't necessarily have the most well developed social skills. Thank God that a number of drama programs are now incorporating "the business of acting" into their curriculum. |
| 2 | Many, many, many American teachers of the fine art of acting are, in my opinion, "generalists," regurgitating the Method in various guises, and fancy reputations of particular teachers and/or schools can be very misleading and a waste of time and money. If an individual or a school either doesn't encourage you or shine such a bright light of wisdom to guide your path, you really are wasting your time. To the young actor I say either hitch your wagon to a nourisher OR a person who is so bright you just have to keep staying on your toes to catch even the slightest whiff of his/her brilliance; the brilliant teachers are very far and few between! My teacher Mira Rostova (Montgomery Clift's teacher) was one of the "brilliants" and Norman Ayrton at LAMDA was another. My nourishers have included Stanley Gould (I)', Marie Donet, and Jacques Burdick (all at Adelphi University back in l966-67 when the theatre itself was in an old dilapidated but cozy quonset hut, but the whole department had energy and love) - also Martin Landau at The Actors Studio. Bottomline, it all depends how you get along with your teachers and how much they believe in you; on the other hand, if you happen to be under the tutelage of a far-and-few- between-genius, that is a thing of total beauty as long as you don't expect much coddling. Finally, it's better to be in a Kia Rio with gas than in a Mercedes on empty; so don't be enamored of the fancy reputation of a school or an individual, and should you wake up and find you're with neither a nourisher or a "brilliant," leave immediately and keep looking. |

| 1 | Two movies, both comedic southern/western films in which Tom had a leading role (Hard Time Romance (1991) (John Lee Hancock's first film, also starring Leon Rippy and Mariska Hargitay) and Mi amigo (2002) (also starring Burton Gilliam and Josh Holloway, directed by Milton Brown) never saw much of the light of day: Mi amigo (2002) had a tiny DVD release; Hard Time Romance (1991) has never been seen in theaters, on TV, or DVD. |
| 2 | While working on a TV project in Houston, Tom befriended a lady from Tyler, Texas and asked her to send him some cassettes of her just speaking; from that tape he developed the east Texas accent he employed in films such as Dances with Wolves (1990) and _Leatherface_. |
| 3 | In l971 when Tom"s "Porchlight on in Oregon" album on RCA came out, (Eric Weissberg and David Bromberg having been sidemen on that record), Tom's first major concert playing and singing his songs was at The Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village; Mississippi Fred McDowell was the opening act. Later Tom opened for the legendary country vocalist Gene Watson, and another time for Kinky Freedman and the Jewboys, at the famous Lone Star Cafe on 5th Ave. in NYC. |
| 4 | After receiving great reviews for his performance as a nebbishy joke writer in the comedy "Winning Isn't Everything" at the Hudson Guild Theatre in NYC directed by the legendary comedic director George Abbott, he got a call from a casting office that he was going to be tested in Los Angeles for a sitcom pilot and that he needed to immediately get on a plane. When he got the call he was cleaning the floors at the Actors Studio, where, at the time he was an "Observer," i.e. before he became a Lifetime Member. He told casting he didn't have enough money on him to get to the airport. Somehow or other casting got him the money and he got on the plane. The plane's departure was delayed 4 hours, and by the time he got to Los Angeles he was a wet noodle. He tested 5 hours later and ended up not getting the part. But life had lots of other good things in store for him. |
| 5 | As a resident member of the acting company at the American Shakespeare Theatre (Stratford, Connecticut), he shared a house with other members of the company including Powers Boothe and Kate Mulgrew. |
| 6 | First cousin once removed of Aliza Sommer-Herz, the subject of the Best Documentary Short of 2014 - "The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life.". |
| 7 | Has shared the Broadway, off-Broadway, off-off Broadway and regional theatre stages with, to name a few, Tom Hulce, Philip Bosco, Hervé Villechaize, Tracey Walter, Rachel Roberts, Richard Gere, Henry Winkler, Morris Carnovsky; he's also shared the screen with, to name a few, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Mary McDonnell, Ewan McGregor, Jon Voight, Dennis Quaid, Jack Lemmon, Leon Rippy, Eddie Murphy, Lane Smith, Viggo Mortensen, Richard Dreyfuss, Eric Roberts, Kevin McKidd, Allison Janney, Don Cheadle and Stacey Keach'. |
| 8 | When his "Porchlight on in Oregon" album (LSP4562) first came out on RCA in l97l, before playing a gig in Winnepeg, Canada to promote the album, he first did a job at the Ohio State Fair, lip-synching and dancing to an industrial sponsored by the phone company. |
| 9 | When he first came to NYC, his first hotel (in which he stayed for one night only) was the old Mills House, then known as The Greenwich, a flop house with urine smell and little cubicles with chicken wire mesh at the top of the walls and a lot of drunken drugged men - a fine introduction to New York and a long way from Oregon. |
| 10 | He worked with James Keach in the play "Tom Paine" directed by Tom O'Horgan (director of Hair (1979)) and later worked with Stacy Keach in a beautiful scene in a cemetery in The Return of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer (1986) directed by Ray Danton (who gave him the job without auditioning him). "What a blessed thing to be given work by someone who just happens to appreciate the work that they have seen". |
| 11 | After his sophomore year at Whitman College and before transferring back east for his junior year at Adelphi University, which he hadn't seen except in a catalog, he hitchhiked from a summer theatre he was working in in Colorado to Mazatlan, Mexico and then back up to Oregon. The longest time between rides was his getting a lift two miles from his home in Oregon. Maybe all the dirty pillow-cased type-luggage in which his clothes etc. were put off a lot of Oregonians. |
| 12 | When he was awarded the ITT International Fellowship in the Fulbright Competition, one of the judges, actress Beatrice Straight became Tom's biggest champion; she contacted her friend Laurence Olivier and asked him his opinion as to where Tom should study in London; Olivier told Ms. Straight that he recommended The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts which is where Tom ended up studying and graduating from. |
| 13 | A great and dear friend of actor Irwin Keyes whom he met in NYC in l976. |
| 14 | Acted in two films about the iconic Texas fort, The Alamo: Thirteen Days to Glory (1987) and The Alamo (2004). |
| 15 | Acting teachers include Mira Rostova, Wynn Handman, Peter Kass, Martin Landau, Olympia Dukakis, John Fernald (former Director of RADA) & Norman Ayrton (LAMDA). |
| 16 | First Chair Cellist in the Walla Walla Symphony Orchestra while attending his first two years at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. |
