Born in Westminster, London young Tom wasn't a stranger to the biz - his mother Patricia was a stage manager, and his younger sister Emma is also an actress. His father is from Scotland, and unlike his son and daughter, he doesn't act at all, he's a scientist.
Growing up he lived in Wimbledon and Oxford. His parents divorced when he was kid, and Tom says that it has made him more comionate to people's personal problems.
