Actor, producer, singer

1975–present

Thomas Edward "Tom" Hulce(pron.:/ˈhʊls/; born December 6, 1953) is an American actor and theater producer. As an actor, he is perhaps best known for his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Mozart in the movieAmadeusand his role as "Pinto" inNational Lampoon's Animal House. Additional acting awards included a total of four Golden Globe nominations, an Emmy Award, and a Tony Award nomination. Hulce retired from acting in the mid-1990s in [1] order to focus upon stage directing and producing. In 2007, he won a Tony Award as a lead producer of the Broadway musicalSpring Awakening.

Early life [2] Hulce was born in Detroit, Michigan (some sources incorrectly say Whitewater, Wisconsin). The youngest of four [3] children, he was raised in Plymouth, Michigan. His mother, Joanna (n e Winkleman), sang briefly with Phil [4][5][6] Spitalny'sAll-Girl Orchestra, and his father, Raymond Albert Hulce, worked for the Ford Motor Company. Although he originally wanted to be a singer as a child, he switched to acting after his voice changed during his [7] teenage years. He left home at the age of 15 and attended Interlochen Arts Academy and the North Carolina [8] School of the Arts.

Acting career Hulce made his acting debut in 1975, playing opposite Anthony Perkins inEquuson Broadway. Throughout the rest [9] of the 1970s and the early 1980s, he worked primarily as a theater actor, taking occasional parts in movies. His first film role was in the James Dean-influenced filmSeptember 30, 1955in 1977. His next movie role was as freshman student Lawrence "Pinto" Kroger in the classic comedyNational Lampoon's Animal House(1978). In 1982, he played a gunshot victim in the television showSt. Elsewhere.

Tom Hulce

In the early 1980s, Hulce was chosen over intense competition (which included David Bowie and Mikhail [10] Baryshnikov ) to play the role of Mozart in director Milos Forman's film version of Peter Shaffer's playAmadeus. In 1985, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance, losing to his co-star, F. Murray Abraham. In 1989, he received his second Best Actor Golden Globe Award nomination for a critically [11] acclaimed performance as an intellectually challenged garbage collector in the 1988 movieDominick and Eugene. He played supporting roles inParenthood(1989),Fearless(1993) andMary Shelley's Frankenstein(1994). In 1990, he was nominated for his first Emmy Award for his performance as the 1960s civil rights activist Michael Schwerner in the 1990 TV-movieMurder in Mississippi. He starred as Joseph Stalin's projectionist in Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky's 1991 filmThe Inner Circle. In 1996, he won an Emmy Award for his role as a gay pediatrician in a television-movie version of the Wendy Wasserstein playThe Heidi Chronicles, starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Also in 1996, he provided both the speaking and singing voice of the protagonist Quasimodo for the Disney animated featureThe Hunchback of Notre Dame. Although Hulce largely retired from acting in the mid-1990s, he had bit parts in the recent moviesJumper(2008) andStranger Than Fiction(2006). Hulce remained active in theater throughout his entire acting career. In addition toEquus, he also appeared in Broadway productions ofA Memory of Two MondaysandA Few Good Men, for which he was a Tony Award nominee in 1990. In the mid-1980s, he appeared in two different productions of playwright Larry Kramer's early [12] AIDS-era dramaThe Normal Heart. In 1992, he starred in a Shakespeare Theatre Company production of [13] [14] Hamlet.His regional theatre credits includeEastern Standardat the Seattle Repertory Theatre.

Career as producer Hulce shepherded two major projects to fruition: the six-hour, two-evening stage adaptation of John Irving'sThe Cider House Rules, andTalking Heads, a festival of Alan Bennett's plays which won six Obie Awards, a Drama Desk Award, a special Outer Critics Circle Award, and a New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play. He also headed10 Million Miles, a musical project by Keith Bunin and Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Patty Griffin, that premiered in Spring 2007 at the Atlantic Theater Company. Hulce was a lead producer of the Broadway hitSpring Awakening, which won eight Tony Awards in 2007, including one for Best Musical. He is also a lead producer of a stage adaptation of the Green Day albumAmerican Idiot. The musical had its world premiere in Berkeley, California, at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009 and opened on Broadway in April 2010. He also produced the 2004 movieA Home at the End of the World, based upon Michael Cunningham's novel.

Personal life Hulce said in 2008 in an interview withThe Seattle Gay Newsthat he is comfortable with being described as "openly [15] gay". In the same interview he debunked as false the rumors that he had married an Italian artist named Cecilia Ermini, with whom he had a daughter, which has been repeated as fact on many websites.

[1] IBDB profile

A Few Good Menis a play by Aaron Sorkin, first produced on Broadway by David Brown in 1989. It tells the story of military lawyers at a court-martial who uncover a high-level conspiracy in the course of defending their clients, United States Marines accused of murder.

It opened on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre in New York on November 15, 1989, in a production directed by Don Scardino, with Tom Hulce as LTJG Kaffee, Megan Gallagher as LCDR JoAnne Galloway and Stephen Lang as Col Jessep.

Sorkin adapted his work into a screenplay for a 1992 film directed by Rob Reiner, produced by Brown and starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay. The play's signature catchphrase is "You can't handle the truth."

A Few Good Men (play)

Play Sorkin got the inspiration for the play from a phone conversation with his sister Deborah, who had graduated from Boston University Law School and signed up for a three-year stint with the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps. She was going to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base to defend a group of Marines who came close to killing a fellow Marine in a hazing ordered by a superior officer. Sorkin took that information and wrote much of his story on [2] cocktail napkins while bartending at the Palace Theatre on Broadway. Several former Navy JAG lawyers have been identified as the source for the character of Lt. Daniel Kaffee. These [3][4][5] include Donald Marcari, David Iglesias, Christopher Johnson and Walter Bansley III. The court martial was [6] Macari's first big court case. However in a September 15, 2011 article of the New York Times, Sorkin was quoted saying,“The character of Dan Kaffee in‘A Few Good Men’is entirely fictional and was not inspired by any particular individual.” Once Sorkin completed a draft, his theatrical agent sent it to producer David Brown who wanted the film rights. [7] Sorkin sold Brown the rights, getting Brown to agree to also produceA Few Good Menas a play.

Premieres A Few Good Menhad its world premiere at the Heritage Repertory Theatre at the University of Virginia's [8] [7][9] Department of Drama on September 19, 1989. It then transferred to the Kennedy Center. The original Broadway stage production opened at the Music Box Theatre in New York on November 15, 1989, in a production directed by Don Scardino, designed by Ben Edwards, and with music by John Gromada. It starred Tom Hulce as LTJG Kaffee, Megan Gallagher as LCDR JoAnne Galloway, Stephen Lang as Col Jessep, and Robert Hogan as Capt. Matthew A. Markinson. Replacement actors included Timothy Busfield and Bradley Whitford as Kaffee, Perry King, Michael O'Hare, and Ron Perlman as Jessep, and Pamela Blair as Galloway. Joshua Malina also appeared. It ran for 497 performances.

Other performances A national touring company performed through 1992 with Michael O'Keefe as LTJG Kaffee, Alyson Reed as LCDR Galloway, and Paul Winfield as the judge. In January 1993A Few Good Menhad its premiere in German language at the Volkstheater, Vienna, Austria (translation: Gunther Baumann, director: Erhard Pauer, Daniel Kaffee: Alfons Haider). In the following years this production went on tour and was shown all over Germany, Switzerland and Austria (German title: Eine Frage der Ehre/A Question Of Honor). A revival of the play starring Rob Lowe in the role of LTJG Kaffee, Suranne Jones as LCDR Galloway and John Barrowman as Capt Ross, opened at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, in late August 2005 for preview showings followed by a three-month run in early September 2005. The stage show was directed by David Esbjornson. Jensen Ackles appeared as LTJG Kaffee alongside Lou Diamond Phillips as Col Jessep in a production of the play at the Casa Macana Theatre, in Fort Worth, Texas, June 5–10, 2007. It has also been performed in London, Oxford and Portsmouth by amateur groups. A Hungarian production of the play was performed at Maddch Szinhdz, Budapest. It was directed by Imre Ker nyi, starring Sdndor Czvetke, fva Kerekes and Gdbor Koncz.

A Few Good Men (play)

Awards and nominations The Broadway production earned Megan Gallagher a 1990 Theatre World Award and a Best Actor nomination for [10] Tom Hulce at the 44th Tony Awards.

Source material and legacy

The play is based on events which took place at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in July 1986, though some details were changed for dramatic purposes. Members of Rifle Security Company, Windward Side, 2nd Platoon believed that one of their number, Pfc. William Alvarado, was a malingerer and had informed about a Marine firing across the [3] border into Cuba. In a retaliatory hazing, or "Code Red", ten Marines attacked Alvarado, blindfolded him, stuffed [3] [3] a rag in his mouth, beat him and shaved his head. Alvarado was seriously injured, but did not die. Of the ten Marines, seven accepted other than honorable discharges as part of a plea bargain, but three, including David Cox, [3] refused to accept the plea bargain and went to court. Cox was defended by Don Macari; David Iglesias was also a [4] member of the legal team. Cox was found not guilty of aggravated battery, but guilty of the misdemeanor charge [3] of simple assault. He was sentenced to time already served in the brig, and returned to active duty.

Cox was honorably discharged from the Marines in 1989. When he saw the film version ofA Few Good Men, he was upset at the liberties taken with the event, most notably that the Marines in the case were dishonorably discharged, [3] and considered suing the filmmakers. Cox was mysteriously murdered in 1994.

David Iglesias later became a United States Attorney, and was one of eight U.S. Attorneys dismissed by the George W. Bush administration.
