I chose to take an English Literature degree in order to achieve this, with every intention of applying to drama school the minute I graduated, if I could afford it.

I was sent some images from A Rendez-vous With French Cinema, a showcase for French films, from March 2007. Tom attended the screening of A Few Days In September held at the Curzon Cinema in London, and also a presentation of young European actors the night before.

I wrote to Tom recently, via his agents, to inform him of the existence of this new website. Unexpectedly he sent a really lovely letter in reply, and included 2 gorgeous signed photos from the recent Ian Phillips-McLaren photoshoot.

Tom also very kindly let me know about some recent projects, and I will add all the relevant news details to the site, and images to the galleries in the next couple of days. I am extremely grateful to him for taking the time to do all that.
