His talent was spotted by director Andy Tenant who cast him in the Academy Award nominated epic feature Anna And The King, playing Jodie Foster's screen son Louis Leonowens, with Foster playing the title role of Anna.

Tom will also be seen later in the year in the role of 'Carnaby' in Grace and Danger and the role of 'Dr. John Seward' in Fangs of War, a 20th Century re-imagining of Bram Stoker's classic Dracula. Tom will star alongside Christopher Walken.

In addition to his big screen projects, Tom also stars in DirecTV's Full Circle alongside Minka Kelly, David Boreanaz and Kate Walsh. Full Circle premiered on DirecTV on October 9th. Tom will also appear in TNT's new series Murder in the First, a suspenseful crime drama that will intimately dissect a single murder case over an entire season, from the commitment of the crime through the investigation, arrest and trial.
