Biography

He passes his childhood between Wisconsin and Delaware before posing his bags in Michigan. Child rather wise Tom proves to be an average pupil. Hardly can one from time to time reproach him for having the head in the clouds. In fact, until its adolescence, it is expressed only through the sport (it practices football, the basketball and the baseball), until with the college it discovers the pleasures of the theater. Its class assembles several parts, in which it takes part. I will be graduate college in 1995. After some time when he works in the construction industry, he points out himself by the assistant of the photographer Bruce Weber who proposes to him to make some stereotypes. Tom accepts and in a few weeks only, its career takes off and it makes the cover of the magazines. Then, always attracted by the trade of actor, it leaves for Los Angeles where it is given one year to begin a career of professional actor. There low, it passes from hearings and is presented to that of the series " Amy" judge;. This casting grants the role of Rob Meltzer to him. In the beginning, its character was to appear only in three episodes, but thanks to the passion of the public, the apprentice actor will remain during six episodes. Extremely of this first experiment, it sets out again in the search of a new role and for the pilot of a series named TV " takes down some; Not déclaré". It is at this time that he learns that Warner carries out a giant casting to find the main actor of his new production. Tom decides to try his chance and it rightly because it will be selected among 700 candidates to interpret Clark Kent in " Smallville". Surprisingly, he acknowledges anything to know of the cartoon from which the super hero is resulting. For all to say, it did not even try hard to mug up the explanatory little book provided at the time of casting. To interpret Clark Kent, it chose simplicity. The screen of the series basing itself on the youth of Superman, Tom incarnates the Clark young person like a normal teenager, and this spontaneousness is surely one of the reasons of the success of Smallville. One can also note that it is charmed not to have to carry the cape and sticking them of the mythical character. Today, Tom is a filled actor. He incarnates one of the most famous heroes of America in one of the best series of the moment. Still surprised by the incredible success of the pilot of the series (the best rate of audience of all times for a Warner series with 8,4 million televiewers), it keeps the feet on the ground. He adores the sport, in particular the tennis shoe, but he cannot practice these sports because he could be wounded and that he would not be credible to see the young Superman future with a plaster or the blue ones on the body. The terms of its contract also prevent it from taking weight (it must thus supervise its food) and to bronze because the producers of Smallville (Al Gough and Miles Millar) do not arrive not to decide if the skin of extraterrestrial invincible can change color with the sun. When it does not turn to Vancouver, Tom runs happy days with his wife (Jamie A.White with which it married on July 5th, 2002) and his dogs in the City of the Angels. During its spare time, he likes to read, practice his favorite sports and to return visit to his family and his friends.
