During the academy awards he won best supporting actor starring as Samuel Gerard in the Warner Brothers film the Fugitive with Harrison Ford co-starring as a Doctor. Raised in Texas, his mother was a retail shop owner and his father was an oil field employee.

Also, a star as an athlete with guard position with Harvard football team being 6”1 and 91kg in weight.

First moving to New York for a Broadway start with entry roles, he was successful with the Golden globes first in 1980. Tommy Lee was later famous for roles, Men in Black film trilogy as agent Kevin Brown, the Client (1994), Batman Forever as Harvey Dent, Space Cowboys (2000) teaming up with Clint Eastwood, Double Jeopardy (1999) with Ashley Judd, more recently with Ad Astra (2019) co-starring Brad Pitt and Jason Bourne (2016) with similar appearance as Samuel Gerard.

Interestingly I came across a photographer similar to Tommy Lee Jones at a photo walk with the Melbourne Camera Club, grumpy at times but intelligent. He commented in an interview, movie cameras are higher resolution with advanced lighting methods in modern times. Currently Brad Pitt is a similar actor with new films in the 2010s. Tommy is a polo player and a horse rider residing in a large acre ranch near San Antonio.
