Book Tom Arnold

Tom Arnold is an American actor and comedian with four decades of stand-up, sitcom and big-screen credits. He started out in the early 1980s with a prop-driven comedy act, then joined Roseanne as a writer and wrote himself onto the show as Arnie Thomas, the role that made him a household name. In 1992 he headlined his own ABC sitcom, The Jackie Thomas Show. Two years later he stole scenes opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger as the wisecracking sidekick in James Cameron's action hit True Lies (1994), and he followed it with Nine Months (1995), Cradle 2 the Grave (2003), Mr. 3000 (2004), The Great Buck Howard (2008) and Madea's Witness Protection (2012). Sports fans know him from four years hosting The Best Damn Sports Show Period, and television audiences also caught him on Sons of Anarchy. He received the GLAAD Vanguard Award in 1993. A quick, self-deprecating storyteller with a deep bank of Hollywood anecdotes, Arnold works a room easily, whether he is doing stand-up, hosting, emceeing or sitting down for a candid conversation about comedy, television and the movie business.
