Thomas Jane

Tom Jane at the World Premiere of 'Constantine.'

©Jesse Wozniak

Thomas Jane's Birth Date:

January 29, 1969

Place of Birth:

Baltimore, Maryland

Role That Really Got Him Noticed:

Jane stole scenes from Mark Wahlberg in 1997's Boogie Nights as a crazy drug addict. But Jane really grabbed everyone's attention by playing Mickey Mantle in Billy Crystal's loving look at baseball, 61*, which aired on HBO in 2001.

Significant Other:

Thomas Jane married actress Patricia Arquette on June 24, 2006.

Interesting Tidbit:

Jane was incredibly accessible to fans while making The Punisher and in my exclusive interview prior to the film's release, he explained why. "I don't consciously think about it. I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical. We do these things - make these movies and tell these stories – we tell them to people. So it would make sense that to connect on some level with your audience would only help me to grow and tell these stories to my audience. It just seems like a natural extension of what I do. I want to make a connection – that's the whole point. You tell stories to make a connection."
