Tommy has been a work-in-progress for over six decades. He's a far from perfect man of faith, husband, father, cancer co-survivor, dog lover and a native Texan. For Tommy acting wasn't a career choice, it was a calling. Still is.
Tommy began his career at Dallas Theater Center prior to migrating to Los Angeles. Among his fondest experiences in L.A. was working with icons Henry Fonda, Cloris Leachman and Harry Dean Stanton in a stage production of The Oldest Living Graduate, one of the Texas Trilogy plays that originated at Dallas Theater Center during his tenure there.
Tommy's screen credits include films such as The Alamo, Friday Night Lights and Bernie and TV projects such as Friday Night Lights, Prison Break and Walker, TX Ranger.
More recent projects include Co-Star roles on AMC's Fear The Walking Dead and The Son and Amazon's streaming series, Panic as well as lead roles in several award winning short films, Matchstick Willie, Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell and The Dark Places.
Creating his own work is more than just a slogan to Tommy. He co-wrote and co-produced SBHH and co-produced and directed The Dark Places as well as acting in both films. The Dark Places is currently on the festival circuit and has won multiple awards in 14 film festivals and counting, including Best First Time Filmmaker, Best Short Film, Best Faith Based Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Cinematography and Best Original Score.
Tommy is a longtime member of SAG-AFTRA and he was a founding member of the SAG-AFTRA Austin Actors Conservatory. Austin, TX is Tommy’s home base. Have Passport, Will Travel.
