Tom has as varied a resume as any actor you are ever likely to encounter. In  fact, when we first started our conversation, I said that I felt an urgency to  cover enough ground to fairly represent him. Tom’s easy manner removed any  concern I may have had. 

We talked soon after he had returned from Ottawa, where he was performing  in “Salesman in China”, the same production that premiered at the Stratford  Festival this past season. Back home, where he is always happy to spend  time, Tom discussed the early influences that helped to shape both his  dreams and his approach to the work that would define his professional life.  He pays special tribute to many of the people with whom he has worked and  from whom he has continued to learn.
