before TRUE LIES he was a joke. married to rosanne who did everything for him, include bought him two of his own sitcoms, jackie thomas & tom, before james cameron did in fact use him well for true lies, which established tom in the biz. his hey-dey didn't last long. mccale's navy wasn't that bad, the stupids was low for landis but showed tom could do character work in a lead role, and big bully provided a creepy factor to his performances... although after 2000 he wasn't in much, just side roles in other people's projects... but he has remained working. the best thing to remember is that true lies wasn't only good for him, it legitimized him from a yoko ono to a hollywood player.
