In 2021 he starred in the award-winning drama short film Into Temptation (now part of the feature film Web) and earned 9 acting awards for his complex portrayal of Father Graham. 

A published author, Tom co-authored the award-winning book "Styling the Stars - Lost Treasures from the Twentieth Century Fox Archive," which was published by Insight Editions in both hardcover and softcover formats. He was interviewed on CBS This Morning and profiled in numerous print and web publications including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly, Parade, Huffington Post, Closer Weekly, and more.
