TRIVIA: His parents were both dancers with the New York City Ballet
and were owners of the New York School of Ballet.
He first acted professionally at age seven; appeared as a cast
replacement on the Broadway stage as John Roosevelt, one of the
children of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, in drama "Sunrise at
Campobello."
Is National Chairman of the Better Hearing Institute.
Served as the host of the University of South Carolina's Ecumenical
Service of the Family and introduced His Holiness Pope John Paul II.
Uses two tiny hearing aids due to the 50% hearing loss, as a result
of otosclerosis (a nerve disorder).
Speaks some Chinese, after changing his major at Columbia from
Literature to Chinese. He changed his major from Literature to Chinese
because he attended Columbia during the time that the Vietnam War was
underway and as well as the controversy surrounding it. He was
frustrated with the anti-war demonstrations and how they were
interrupting his educations and he felt the best way to avoid such
disturbances was to change his major to Chinese.
WHERE IS HE NOW: In 2006 Thomas began a national tour of Reginald
Rose's acclaimed play, "Twelve Angry Men" along with George Wendt
("Norm" of "Cheers" fame) at the Shubert Theater in New Haven,
Connecticut. In this production he played the pivotal role of Juror
Eight, opposite Wendt as Juror One.
He can also be heard providing the voiceover for recent Mercedes-
Benz commercials.
