Tom Cruise on that podcast a few
1:22
episodes ago we accidentally called Tom

1:27
Tom Hanks episode we accidentally called
1:28
him Tom Cruise let me mention Tom Bergen
1:31
and Tom Bergeron yes never like I got
1:34
the tick confused yeah we got those
1:36
confused and we realize there are a lot
1:38
of celebrities named Tom and so on
1:40
today's episode we want to talk about
1:43
actors with the name Tom or Thomas
1:46
there's about 35 names we're not gonna
1:48
go through all of them because some of
1:50
them both Reuben I don't know enough to
1:52
form an opinion therefore they're not
1:53
the best they could be the best cuz we
1:55
can't even talk about them so our job is
1:58
to talk about the worst of the best
1:59
actors and celebrities named Tom all
2:02
right you ready to go yeah Tom
2:04
Hiddleston so we're gonna go on an order
2:06
of IMDB if you want to follow along on
2:08
your computers or pcs or whatever
2:10
product you're looking at actors with
2:12
Thomas is what we're looking at and I
2:14
don't know what order they're going they
2:16
say you're sort by list order or date
2:18
added this will just do list order what
2:20
that list is probably because of the
2:21
Avengers Tom Hiddleston's number one but
2:24
so he's an actor famously known for The
2:26
Avengers his name is Thomas William
2:28
Hillston he's from London he played Loki
2:32
and the Avengers I liked him as Loki
2:34
great actor he's obviously been a lot of
2:36
things but he's in it like a TV show
2:38
right now okay he wasn't called Skull
2:40
Island which I really enjoyed he was in
2:43
a TV series called the night manager so
2:45
people that are fans of his I know all
2:47
this stuff but he's been in tons of
2:48
shows tons of movies this guy has had a
2:51
prolific career and his stars rising
2:53
spoil alert he dies does he infinity war
2:56
blast when they give up yeah I'm seeing
2:59
it oh sorry
2:59
all right yeah all right no more
3:03
spoilers well I'll tell you this much he
3:05
told me enough he doesn't take you long
3:07
to find out the spoiler all right still
3:08
I'm just sayin all right all right Tom
3:11
Hardy I got very confused between Tom
3:14
Hardy and Tom Brady for whatever reason
3:16
I thought they were the same person
3:18
okay I was like houses
3:20
I that's such a big football career a
3:22
big acting career I was like kind of
3:25
hesitant to see him in Mad Max good luck
3:29
come on football and Mad Max okay room
3:35
that's you might be the only person on
3:37
this planet but absolutely true
3:40
thing I thought Tom Hardy Tom Brady with
3:42
the same plan I really did I really did
3:44
I mean how much more good fortune would
3:46
either need to have to be a suppose I
3:49
could bring around it hit pain tell
3:52
sense I love Tom Hardy I love Tom Hardy
3:55
Tom Hardy fanatic he's got a TV series
3:58
called taboo which I highly recommend
4:00
he was course Mad Max he's got a new Mad
4:03
Max coming out he's obviously playing
4:05
venom and the recently released version
4:06
but ya know I'd like to yeah it sounds
4:09
like it's fun a TV show called peaky
4:11
blinders of course Dunkirk and droid
4:13
dunker the revenant he was amazing in a
4:15
legend he's amazing in Boy of course
4:19
Sabine I loved his performance in Spain
4:20
The Dark Knight Rises
4:22
inception of course was great I'm gonna
4:24
have a little spoiler here I don't think
4:26
Tom Hardy's gonna be anywhere near a
4:29
worthless of anyone's I couldn't imagine
4:30
ya by all that he's very good at
4:32
football he's a terrible football player
4:34
yeah though you might be good to have to
4:35
crawl we know all right it's a loser
4:36
next Tom Tom Hanks Tom Hanks for those
4:40
who haven't heard it go back and listen
4:41
to your Tom Hanks episode we don't see
4:43
much more than that
4:43
Tom Hanks Oh we'll say he's in my
4:45
favorite movie of all time
4:47
that's right Cass way well spoiler if
4:49
you're gonna listen that episode anyways
4:50
Tom Hanks not much more to say cool
4:53
listener Tom makes episode next to gave
4:55
us tom felton of course probably because
4:57
of his portrayal of Drake Malfoy in the
5:01
Harry Potter series that's what he's
5:02
most famous for that's why he's number
5:04
four I never saw those you have a seen
5:06
Harry Park I've never seen one of them
5:08
are you gonna ever let your kids
5:10
watching oh yeah yeah what my daughter's
5:12
just finished her part of four okay and
5:14
she's gonna finish up to seven and then
5:16
just gonna watch the movies our kids
5:18
love Harry Potter uh-huh and it might be
5:20
fun for the cousins to do some
5:22
sleepovers or some sort of night viewing
5:24
or yeah a weekly or bi-weekly
5:26
get-together swish over the holidays
5:28
yeah yeah watch a couple in a row over
5:30
like a month period well she's not gonna
5:31
watch any until she's done
5:33
book seven okay well a couple years ago
5:35
no no she's she's pretty quick okay
5:37
because the kids love it
5:40
bless her for reading them by the way so
5:42
good for her great series okay
5:44
so tom felton so Reuben you're not too
5:46
familiar with them so I guess you can't
5:48
really pick as yours if you saw Harry
5:50
Potter sighs betray you wouldn't there's
5:51
no way you would say he's the worst at
5:53
the Tom's but maybe you would number
5:54
five Tom Waits
5:56
are you familiar with him he's that
5:58
gravelly voice guy yeah he was in the
6:01
Scrooge with Bill Murray the taxi driver
6:03
yeah I actually had one of those records
6:05
he had my box at different records with
6:08
different artists on it I bought it
6:10
because like Eddie Vedder was on it I
6:12
forget what that was called and somebody
6:14
stole it for me oh really
6:15
yeah I'm not seeing it on Wikipedia
6:18
maybe because it's a compilation album
6:21
or some like that yeah
6:22
barks etch
6:23
[Music]
6:31
won't sing too
6:36
Singh
6:37
[Music]
6:41
seemed to
6:44
was that one no before I know maybe I
6:48
got it mixed up all right yeah who knows
6:51
number six Tom Cruise again if you want
6:54
to listen to that episode go back listen
6:55
to our Tom Cruise exclusive episode hear
6:58
all of our thoughts and feelings on Tom
7:00
Cruise next Tom Berenger this is the
7:03
reason why we're doing this list see we
7:04
got confused with mr. Tom Berenger and
7:06
the guy that does Tom Bergeron yeah I
7:10
could put this put those two together
7:10
Tom Berenger Tom Bergeron that's the
7:13
same Tom really Tom Barrett Tom Berenger
7:16
was best known for the movies sniper and
7:18
platoon and some other films and Tom
7:21
Bergeron for America's Funniest Home
7:22
Videos I don't think I could probably
7:24
pronounce either their last names I
7:25
think I'm done okay good for you Tom
7:27
Berenger and Tom Bergeron I could get
7:29
Tommy Lee Jones number eight Tommy Lee
7:31
Jones another solid actor oh yeah the
7:34
happiest man in Hollywood I know he was
7:37
fantastic and the fugitive men and black
7:40
men in black No Country for Old Men Cobb
7:43
Cobb where he played a cankerous
7:46
baseball player just recite the lions
7:53
okay yeah put on the outfit we hit the
7:55
lines then you're good
7:57
the fugitive where you played that
7:58
cankerous US Marshal Cobb where you play
8:02
a cankerous baseball player Jason Bourne

10:50
well hey this is related but not related
10:53
the new predator movie yeah I saw it
10:56
yeah terrible I know why terrible eyes a
11:00
bad why give me a one sense review why
11:03
it's bad the opening scene right after
11:05
the trailers I thought it was another
11:08
trailer
11:09
look at the way in brothers movie what
11:11
doing like a spoof on sci-fi the
11:13
graphics were so bad I thought this was
11:17
like you're getting tricked
11:18
you know that well the movies gonna
11:19
start but no it's just gonna be a comedy
11:21
on like a Wayne Brothers spoof movie
11:24
like the graphics were terrible the
11:26
acting so that action wasn't that bad
11:28
but terrible lions the predator walk
11:31
around just look like a man in the suit
11:32
walking around I think it wasn't mad at
11:34
- well yeah it was it was just terrible
11:37
I laughed out loud during one scene we
11:40
weren't supposed to force the post but
11:44
that said I was entertained because it
11:46
was so campy oh it was almost bad enough
11:49
to be good oh yeah okay I think I see
11:53
like a piggy like another one with the
11:54
same cast same but I would just see it
11:56
just so ironically you would see the
11:58
sequel the same cast yeah yeah yeah
12:00
because it was just so bad oh man yeah
12:02
but Tom scared let's go back Tom
12:04
Skerritt so I wasn't know that sure
12:06
picket fences which I really enjoy when
12:08
that was out mm-hmm Tom is he in church
12:10
you know I love Tom mutters yeah he's
12:13

12:13

recognize the name but I can't even
14:35
prior Ryan okay hey not enough to speak
14:39
to him not enough for me to put him on
14:40
the worst earth or the best you know I
14:42
mean well that is our list there Reuben
14:45
we can also include honorable mentions
14:47
Tom Holland the new spider-man okay he's
14:50
an up-and-coming star Tom Ford this is a
14:53
star but not an actor right so let's go
14:56
over some tests there brother okay just
14:58
to recap the list of people is quite a
15:00
few here and you the audience see if you
15:02
agree with our choice who is the worst
15:03
actor named Tom Tom Hiddleston Tom Hardy
15:06
Tom Hanks tom felton Tom Waits not
15:11
really an actor though he's been a lot
15:12
of movie slot shows yeah okay we'll keep
15:14
going Tom Cruise Tom Berenger Tom Lee
15:17
Jones
15:18
Thomas Gibson Thomas Jane director
15:21
writer Paul Thomas Anderson we kind of
15:23
cheated cuz his middle name I just
15:24
realized that you know we're gonna allow
15:26
it he does go by tall Paul Thomas that's
15:29
like his first name it's a - PT PT - Tom
15:32
Skerritt
15:32
I'm sure I'm saying his name right
15:34
biggest Tom Skerritt is Stan
15:36
all right Thomas Haden Church Tom Hooper
15:39
we didn't talk about Tom Hooper oh
15:43
forget look he's a director yeah mom
15:46
Welling Tom Welling sorry I said it
15:48
again Tom won't bat Tom Sizemore Tom
15:52
Selleck alright boy this year pretty
15:55
safe I do I feel bad I feel bad word
15:58
pick what am what a great group of Tom's
16:01
being named Tom kind of produces a good
16:03
manly qualities I'm good now that sounds
16:06
June you don't I mean but these are good
16:08
male actors if they're on screen I'm not
16:11
gonna run away saying why am i watch
16:13
them I do have my worst pic and only
16:15
because of be like if this person was on
16:16
screen in a movie my saying that I can't
16:20
wait to see him on screen more would be
16:22
the least and that's Tom Waits
16:25
oh okay Mike are you yeah he's more of a
16:28
song singer but he's been in quite a few
16:32
Phil if you go to his film role octave
16:33
ities is real quick
16:34
he has 43 credits to his name oh good
16:37
for him so that's that's a good and he's
16:38
actually got something in
16:39
post-production right now is he's still
16:40
an active actor though he sings and does
16:43
well was a lot more regularly than he
16:46
does act but enough that he has 43
16:49
projects and if I'm happened to watch
16:50
one of these shows that he's in I'm not
16:53
excited or not really not excited he's
16:55
in it but I've seen some of this stuff
16:56
like I've seen I've seen mystery men
16:58
I've seen Domino I've seen The Book of
17:01
Eli just looking at really quickly here
17:03
I first Seven Psychopaths is actually a
17:05
lot of fun I haven't seen yet so he's in
17:07
movies and again when he's in them the
17:09
Fisher King yeah so these are all moves
17:11
that I've seen but I'm not saying that I
17:12
love that movie because he was in it I'm
17:15
gonna screw with you on this brother
17:17
okay I would rather see Tom Waits
17:19
because because I'm not gonna know who
17:22
he is
17:23
hmm I might not think oh this I won't
17:25
get confuse them with somebody else you
17:27
dude I mean I'm listening
17:29
so my pick is Tom Selleck oh wow
17:31
mustache yeah I was thinking Tom Selleck
17:35
I think he Megan P I he has to age
17:39
probably 5 10 more years for me to speak
17:42
to from the old man Selleck he's gotta
17:44
not die as mustache go gray but my
17:47
stache is naturally black what are you
17:49
talking about oh please
17:50
he's got the same dye box just for men
17:53
the Saddam Hussein had you know I mean
17:54
like anyways I like Tom Selleck but I'm
17:58
still thinking Tom Selleck instead of
18:00
the actor does that make sense yeah and
18:02
I I like it and I agree I agree with
18:04
your reasoning your reasoning is sound
18:06
Buster hurt and I have to do a
18:07
