I don't know him personally, but it seems from my observation he wasn't much into playing the Hollywood game.
He did not live in New York or LA but in South Carolina where it's presumed he helped raise his several children. Had other concerns than ac111cting & parties. Shocking, innit.
He's certainly turned in some strong performances over the years. Surprised he has not popped up to anchor a cable TV series. Somebody should write a show for him. Tom Knows Best. On Berenger Blues Street. Something.

He works constantly and has recently won an Emmy. He has an enviable resume and a solid ability to provide excellent performances. We all love our actor icons in their gorgeous, young, taut phase, but he's lived hard and it shows. Four wives, six kids, I bed he stays out there working for a long time, so we'll continue to enjoy him in all his incarnations.

Inception made his profile higher for cinema audiences but he nowadays, he should be looking for prestige tv shows.
Its that man again!!

He'd be perfect for the upcoming Expendables sequel. Sniper, Platoon? Oh yeah, I think he'd fit right in. But if they do another Major League movie it'd be cool if him and Snipes returned as their respective characters.

He pretty much refused to kiss anybody's ass and the industry turned on him and he only gets parts in B-movies or small roles in major films like Training Day, Inception, and Faster. It is a shame that a guy with such talent has been forgotten.

He's a happy ski-bum in Whistler, BC, and enjoying life. Looks to me like he's working plenty.

I think he was soooo hot in substitute and sniper, but I don't know what the heck happened!!!!!

Well, he couldn't save Doc Holiday's Revenge. what a terrible movie. Awful!

There seem to be two kinds of actors: the kind who want to be stars because they enjoy the trappings, and the kind who want to work because they enjoy the work (and the trappings are secondary or even avoided). Berenger always struck me as the second kind, and the most talented seem to be the second kind.

Shattered WAS an amazing movie. I love my mystery fiction and that was just brilliant, Berenger sure as hell de2000livered in that role.

Berenger was wonderful in Shattered - a good murder mystery/thriller with an astounding twist! (It stars Berenger, English beauties Greta Scaachi and Joanne Whalley-Kilmer, Corbin Benson).

Yeah, except for the fact that Brian Dennehy doesn't make a movie worth watching, but Tom Berenger does.
I mean, just imagine seeing Brian Dennehy as Barnes in Platoon.. LOL
I could see Tom Berenger as the Sheriff from First Blood though.. would be awesome. Although Dennehy did a good job, he's no Berenger.

It's a sign of his talent: he can make even the worst thing worth watching; the same goes for Brian Dennehy, for instance
'Ain't got no spare, aint got no jack,I don't care, ain't never coming back'

I know this is 5 years later but "Last Of The Dogmen (awful title)" was my absolute favorite. On par with 'Dancing With The Wolves" IMHO. I so want a blue-ray of that movie!

He also did an outstanding job playing Teddy Roosevelt in "Rough Riders". He even looked like him, and it wasn't just the make-up.

I'll listen!

He's a great actor. Can't understand why Hollywood is not using him more, even in prominent supporting roles. Oliver Stone should cast him in something again.
Thomas, if you is a mouse catcher, I is Lana Turner - which I ain't

He was pretty good in the "Training day". The role was too small though.
What are you talking about? He's a reed. You push him and and he bends.
"City Hall"

I agree with Austerlust.eadly pUrsuits with hiim and Sudney OPitier is a good movie!! Wish they woukd show it. I just watched Dogmen a few minutes agogreat movie.
