Besides that, he has also had quite a few other successes over the course of his often lucrative acting career since 2004.
Early Life and Education: Growing up in New Jersey
Tom was brought up in the state where he was born, by his father Richard Pelphrey and his mother Laurie Pelphrey, both of still unknown professions. As for his siblings, he is known to have a brother named Robert of unspecified age and vocation. Regarding Tom’s primary interests during his early childhood, there is virtually no information across the sources that could accurately describe this piece of trivia about Tom, but he is generally believed to have always had a passion for acting. As for his education, he attended Howell High School in his birthplace, from where he matriculated in 2000. He then enrolled into Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts, from where he graduated with the highly esteemed Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2004. During his time there, he also took the chance to study Shakespeare at London’s Globe Theatre in England.
Career: Born for it
After graduating, Tom went straight into the business, and had very little trouble doing so. He began his career as Jonathan Randall in 2004, in the TV romantic drama series entitled “The Guiding Light”, which had at that point been airing for exactly 50 years. Tom had a few recurring roles until the abovementioned show came to a close, with two appearances in 2007 and another three in 2008, while his 155-episode portrayal in “Guiding Light” ended in 2009. In the same year, he took the role of Mick Dante in 29 episodes of “As the World Turns”, in which he stayed for a year in a total of 29 episodes. For the remainder of 2010, he showed up in “The Good Wife”, and the short film entitled “The Elastic”. In 2011, he appeared in another TV series, and even gave his voice to Connor Morgan in the video game entitled “Homefront”. Besides a few seconds on screen in 2008’s “Bids of America” as a hitchhiker, Tom portrayed his first movie character named David in “Hostage” in 2012, with another movie and a show appearance for the year.
2013 until today
Having established himself in the acting world as a high-quality performer, Tom found it easier to secure movie roles from 2013 on, with two appearances in the said year and one in a show. In 2014, he appeared as Carl in “A Cry from Within”, and as Joseph Morgan in a single episode of “Black Box”. In 2015, he had a total of five roles, at which point he signed his most significant contract up until that point, when he agreed to portray Kurt Bunker in the TV action crime drama series entitled “Banshee”, in which he stayed for one year and 15 episodes. He also appeared in an episode of “Banshee Origins” and one of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” in 2016. 2017 marked another extremely successful year for Tom, when he took on the role of Ward Meachum in the wildly popular Netflix TV show entitled “Iron Fist”, in which he remained until 2018 when the show was abruptly canceled. So far in 2019, he’s appeared in an episode of “Blindspot”, and the movie entitled “Jill” featuring him is yet to be released.
Is that all?
Even though his acting credits are displayed as a total of 32 on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), Tom is actually involved in one more project that hasn’t yet been updated on this site. He will be joining the cast of “Ozark” in its next season, and thus far, this is all that can be said of his progressing career.
