And the guy was an absolute sweetheart. He attended a collectors fair here in the UK. Sadly there was a chap interviewing him for something so I didn't get to chat much, but he was completely lovely . I got an awesome "FOG" photo signed.

Met him in Texas today- what an absolute darling! After getting a wonderful autograph, he was the only one beside Dee Wallace who took the time to write in our names, he absolutely insisted on taking a picture with me and my sister- even though we had forgotten our camera and had to use a phone! He was so sweet and even gave me a hug! Now every time I watch the Fog/ Escape/ Lethal - which is fairly often- I get to say - "I didn't just meet him and get his autograph, I got to hug him!" What a teddy bear! By far made my day! Cheers to Tom!

A friend of mine ran into him in Vegas 20+ years ago; he recognized him from "Escape From New York" and asked for a quick autograph. Tom was happy to oblige, and they talked "EFNY" for a short while. Sounds like a really cool guy.
