Thomas Haden Church - Actor
Academy Award nominee Thomas Haden Church most recently wrapped Peanut Butter Falcon with Shia LeBeouf, Dakota Johnson and Bruce Dern. He can next be seen in Crash Pad which is set to be released this Fall with Domnhall Gleeson and directed by Kevin Tent.
Church currently stars alongside Sarah Jessica Parker in the critically acclaimed series Divorce on HBO; the second season just aired from January to March. Recently, Thomas starred in Daddy’s Home with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, and co-starred in Lucky Them opposite Toni Collette.
Church appeared in acclaimed film-maker Cameron Crowe’s family dramedy We Bought A Zoo starring opposite Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson. He also was seen in William Friedkin’s critically acclaimed crime thriller Killer Joe which premiered at The Venice Film Festival in 2011.
Church gained world-wide appreciation for starring as the villain Sandman aka Flint Marko in the third installment of Sony Picture franchise, Spider-Man 3, which remains 2007’s largest box-office success to date.
Church won an Emmy Award and received a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild nomination for his role as Tom Harte opposite the legendary Robert Duvall in the critically acclaimed and ratings success western epic, Broken Trail, directed by Walter Hill, which premiered on AMC/ American Movie Classics.
In 2004, Church starred opposite Paul Giamatti in Alex Payne’s critically acclaimed film Sideways. He earned an Academy Award nomination for his role as Jack. The Fox Searchlight Pictures’ release premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and went on to win numerous awards in 2004 and 2005, including a Golden Globe for Best Comedy Picture, Broadcast Film Critics award for Best Picture, a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble Cast and six Independent Spirit Awards. Church was also honored as Best Supporting Actor by the Broadcast Film Critics and the Independent Spirit Awards.
Thomas Haden Church made his feature film debut in the legendary film Tombstone in 1993. His performance is hardly noteworthy, save for the way that he was riddled with bullets at the O.K. corral. Church first gained prominence for his role as the bucket-headed mechanic Lowell Mather on the long-running NBC series Wings. He is also known for his lead role in the FOX series Ned and Stacey, in which he starred opposite Debra Messing as the self-righteous Ned Dorsey. In 1997, Time Magazine proclaimed that “Ned Dorsey is one of the six reasons to watch television.”
