Notes and Trivia[]

  • His western zodiac sign is Scorpio and his Chinese zodiac sign is a Horse.
  • Tom loves to improvise jokes for Lucifer.
    • One example is season 3 episode 6 "Vegas With Some Radish" the final scene where Lucifer gives Chloe her birthday gift and Lucifer says "Since I'll likely never penetrate you, I thought I'd commemorate the one time you penetrated me".
    • Another example is the final line of season 5 episode 16 "A Chance At a Happy Ending" with "Oh my me." which was also improvised.
  • Between season 3 and 4 Tom gained a significant amount of weight in muscles. This was only due to a lost bet with his personal trainer. If Lucifer was renewed for season 4 Tom would have to do Men's Health. When Fox cancelled after season 3 Tom was relieved that at least he did not have to do that. When Netflix picked Lucifer up for season 4 it also meant Tom had to deliver his end of that bargain.
  • Tom felt like an "impostor" playing Michael for the first time in the first part of season 5, he also confessed that getting into this character was very hard but he got used to it.
  • His biggest influence is Steve Coogan.
  • He has a twin named Lucy.
  • He loves Golf.
