[1] Thomas Jane(bornThomas Elliott III22, 1969) is an American actor known for his roles in the 1999; February filmDeep Blue Sea, the 2001 TV film61*, the 2004 filmThe Punisherand the 2007 Stephen King adaptationThe Mist. He currently stars in the HBO comedy-drama seriesHung.

Early life Jane was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Cynthia, an antiques dealer, and Michael Elliott, a biogenetic [1] [2] engineer. In 1987, he graduated from Thomas Sprigg Wootton High School in Montgomery County, Maryland. At age 18, Jane relocated to Hollywood to pursue an acting career. He was initially homeless and lived out of his [3] car. Regarding his time as a busker, Jane has noted "I had two songs in my repertoire that I hammered to death— [4] 'Hey Joe' and 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door'....People used to pelt me with change just to shut me up."

Thomas Jane

Career Jane began his acting career with the Telugu film Padamati Sandhya Ragam (1986), directed by Jandhyala, a renowned filmmaker in Telugu Cinema. His early roles included Zeph inBuffy the Vampire Slayer(1992). He had supporting roles in several high profile films, includingThe Crow: City of Angels(1996),Boogie Nights(1997),The Thin Red Line(1998),Thursday(1998) andMagnolia(1999). After receiving critical acclaim as baseball player Mickey Mantle in61*, Jane began receiving leading roles such as that of Andre Stander in the 2003 South African film,Standerfor which he gained further critical acclaim. Jane, director Jonathan Hensleigh and Avi Arad have said in many interviews that Jane was the first and only actor to be asked to play the title role in the 2004 movieThe Punisher. Jane initially turned down the role twice, as he did not have much interest in the superhero genre. Jane said that when they asked him the second time to play the Punisher it was Tim Bradstreet's artwork of the Punisher that piqued his interest. After finding out that the character [5] [6] was not a traditional superhero, but more of an anti-hero and a vigilante crime fighter, he accepted. He read as many Punisher comics as he could find and quickly became a fan. Jane trained for 6 or 7 months with Navy SEALs [7] and gained more than twenty pounds of muscle for the part. In addition to starring in the movie he contributed his voice toThe Punisherand theGunvideo games. He also co-owns RAW, an entertainment company he runs along with Steve Niles and Tim Bradstreet. RAW Studios, the company's comic book division, has releasedBad Planet(written by Jane) through Image Comics. Jane would become a spokesperson for Steve Niles and in became the cover model for comic book character Cal McDonald in 2006, as depicted by their partner Bradstreet. In addition to his screen work, Jane has appeared several times on stage, and received strong critical reviews as Tom in Tennessee Williams'The Glass Menagerie, and as Chris in Arthur Miller'sAll My Sons. He has also portrayed a fictionalized version himself in the Fox television showArrested Developmentin which the show's characters have not heard of him, and do not recognize him as the star actor that he is. In 2005, Marvel releasedThe Punishervideo game. The video game's storyline is compiled with different situations and enemies from the Punisher comics, and a character based upon Jigsaw also appeared in the 2005 Punisher video game but with an origin that ties directly into the 2004 Punisher film. Jane did not return in the planned sequel toThe Punisher. Lions Gate Entertainment had approved a direct sequel to be made due to the strong performance the film had on DVD. However, the project lingered in development for over 3 years. Jonathan Hensleigh completed a first draft of the script before pulling out around 2006. John Dahl was in talks to direct the film, but pulled out, saying he did not like the script, and that the studio was not willing to spend [8] enough money on the project. In a statement on May 15, 2007 and in two audio interviews, Thomas Jane said that [9] he pulled out of the project because of creative differences, and the budget of the film being cut. What I won't do is spend months of my life sweating over a movie that I just don't believe in. I've always loved the Marvel guys, and wish them well. Meanwhile, I'll continue to search for a film that one day might stand with all those films that the fans have asked me to watch. [10] —Thomas Jane, Jane said in June 2007 that movie director Zack Snyder had expressed interest in casting him for the role of 'The [11] Comedian' for the adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novelWatchmen, but because he was too busy, he turned [12] down the role. [13] [14] [15] In 2007, Jane's directing debut was the filmDark Countryin which he also played the main character. It was reported on February 8, 2008 that Thomas Jane had joined movie director John McTiernan in the [16] action/thriller movieRunThomas Jane did not signed on to the film and due to McTiernan's civil suit. Although the film has been put on hold. On May 27, 2008 it was reported that Thomas Jane and actor Ving Rhames had joined [15] [17] [18] the cast in the action filmGive‘em Hell, Malonewith writer Mark Hosack and director Russell Mulcahy.

Thomas Jane

On December 18, 2008, HBO announced it was picking up the dark comedyHung, and Jane was contracted to star in the show. He plays the character of Ray Drecker, a high school history teacher and baseball coach, who, after attending a self help class while being down on his luck, decides to market the large size of his penis as a path to [19] [20] success. The series was renewed for a second season which aired in the summer of 2010. It is unknown when, but Thomas Jane will develop a mini series for the Syfy (Sci Fi) Channel calledVoyage to [21] Savage Planet. He is also planning on doing a World War II action horror film calledThe Devil's Commandos. [22]

[23] Jane appeared on the June/July 2010 cover ofMen's Fitnessmagazine. Thomas Jane voiced the character Jonah Hex in an animated short as a companion piece on the Special Edition Blu-Ray and 2-Disc Special Edition DVD [24] release ofBatman: Under the Red Hood. [25] He was set to play the role of a cop in Sylvester Stallone's hitman action pic 'Headshot,' but then he was deemed not "ethnic" enough and let go. In a recent interview with Collider he mentions an upcoming film project called 'The [26] [27] Lycan .' Thomas Jane describes this project as a gothic werewolf romance set in a castle in the 18th century.

Personal life Jane is divorced from actress Aysha Hauer, the daughter of actor Rutger Hauer. He and Aysha starred in a number of movies together, including a short, "Picture This" by director Sean Ramsay, who was a UCLA student at the time. He was engaged to Olivia d'Abo from 1998 to 2001. After meeting through mutual friends in 2001, Jane and actress Patricia Arquette became engaged in 2002. Their daughter Harlow Olivia Calliope was born on February 20, 2003. Jane and Arquette subsequently married on June 25, 2006 at the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo in Venice, Italy. On March 17, 2008, Thomas Jane was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol for driving at"an extremely high rate of speed"on I-5. Jane was arrested for DUI with a blood alcohol level higher than .08% in Kern County, California. Jane failed several field sobriety tests, including a breathalyzer. Police also said he was driving with a suspended license. [28] In January 2009, Arquette filed for divorce from Jane on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, but the couple [29] soon reconciled and Arquette requested to abandon the divorce petition on July 9, 2009. However, on August 13, [30] 2010, Jane's representative announced that Jane and Arquette had decided to proceed with a divorce. The divorce [31] was finalized on July 1, 2011.
