Can I have some information about Tom Hulce?

Mini Biography Thomas Edward Hulce grew up in Plymouth, Michigan where he was raised with his two sisters and older brother. Wanting to be a singer, Tom had to make a switch in plans when his voice began changing. Knowing that if he wanted to be in show business he needed to become an actor, Tom began taking the necessary steps almost immediately. When asked once why he chose acting Tom replied, "Because someone told me I couldn't." It is determination like this that has helped him achieve his respected position in the acting community to this day. Tom set goals early on. Graduating from school at 19, he gave himself 10 years to succeed as an actor. Working in Ann Arbor as usher and ticket seller with a small theatrical company was a start. It was around this time he saw the first play and actor that made him realize that acting was "cool." Christopher Walken was in a play in Stratford, Ontario. The performance made quite an impression on Tom. While Mr. and Mrs. Hulce weren't totally sold on the idea of their son becoming a thespian, Tom had determination and headed off for the training he knew he'd need if he was going to achieve his goal. He studied at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem; at Booth Bay Harbor, Maine; Sarasota, Florida; and spent a summer in England before heading off to New York City to try his hand at Broadway. Within a month after his arrival, Tom was chosen to understudy the role being performed by Peter Firth in the Broadway play, "Equus." He had originally been hired to play one of the horses but it was decided that his time was better spent learning the understudy role and so he never donned the attire of the horse. Tom had pangs of guilt where this role was concerned. On one hand he wanted the role ... badly. On the other hand he wondered what would happen if Peter left the role; could he fill those shoes. When the time came, 9 months after being hired, Tom found out that it was up to him to play the role as his own. He wasn't expected to be another Peter Firth... he had been hired to play the role his way. "... it actually went quite well, " Tom recalled. "I realized I was a different actor and that I would tackle the part in my own way." And tackle it he did! Equus has a few "firsts" for Tom. One, it was his first big role; two, it was his first Broadway role and third, it was his first nude performance. For nine minutes Tom and his co-star, Roberta Maxwell, were naked in a scene that seemed impossible for the stage a decade earlier (1960s). In a past interview Tom reflected, "It's so skillfully written and developed that it doesn't seem an unusual thing to do. There's no embarrassment, I just don't think about it at all." During the run of "Equus," Tom turned down a big television offer, to the delight of the director and cast. At that time in Tom's life the stage was all there was, and he was going to do it right! Other plays that followed "Equus" were George S. Kaufman's "Butter and Egg Man," Arthur Miller's "Memory of Two Mondays," along with such works as "Julius Caesar," "Romeo and Juliet," Shaw's "Candida," and Chekhov's "The Sea Gull," and, again on Broadway in his Tony nominated role in Aaron Sorkin's "A Few Good Men." Tom has even directed the off-Broadway musical "Sleep Around Town" at Playwrights Horizon. Back in 1977 Tom landed his first motion picture role in the film about the day James Dean died, _9/30/55 (1977)_ This was to be the first of a long line of period films. His next was National Lampoon's Animal House (1978). Set in the 1960's, Tom played "Pinto" along with such comedy alumni as John Belushi, Tim Matheson and Donald Sutherland. 1984 gave him the role that put him on the map, as they say. The title role of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the Oscar-winner Amadeus (1984) was such a wonder that it even boosted the sales of Mozart's music by 30%! Filmed in Prague, it was eerie for Tom to actually be standing in the very spot where the original Amadeus had stood conducting the opera Tom was recreating for the film. Dressed in a purple velvet jacket, knickers and white hose, wearing a bushy white wig and doling out a hilarious laugh (often likened to that of a hyena's) Tom's portrayal of the "man-child" musical genius was an Oscar-nominated performance. Tom has been in many more films set in the past: Those Lips, Those Eyes (1980)(1950s), Shadowman (1988) (World War II), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) (1800s), Wings of Courage (1995) (1930's) and Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) (1600s). Tom appeared in Echo Park (1986) with Susan Dey, a film that had a struggle to get released remains one of Tom's best performances and one that he is quite proud of. Another film that Tom feels a lot of pride for is Dominick and Eugene (1988). Starring with Ray Liotta and Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom played Dominick Luciano, a mentally handicapped twin brother to Liotta's Eugene. The young man works as a garbage collector to help put his brother through medical school so he can become a "rich doctor" and they can afford to get a "house by a lake." Tom spent time studying people in a Pittsburgh neighborhood and handicapped people in an occupational training center so he could master the innocence and determination that the lead role required. He received the Best Actor award at the Seattle fest for his performance. Murder in Mississippi (1990) (TV) was Tom's second television movie (the first was "Great Performances: Forget-Me-Not-Lane" (1975) (a/k/a "Neli, Neli"), a Hallmark Hall of Fame production). Playing the role of Michael Schwerner, the New York social worker and Freedom Fighter who is murdered by KKK members in 1964 during Freedom Summer, Tom received an Emmy nomination and his third Golden Globe nomination. The Inner Circle (1991) (a/k/a "The Projectionist") took Tom to Russia where he was Ivan Sanshin, the private film projectionist to Stalin within the Kremlin walls. Based on a true story, Ivan was a perfect example of how many were blinded to the horrific conditions that men like Stalin conducted and followed in ignorant loyalty. While there, Tom was fortunate to meet and spend time with Alexander Ganshin, upon whose life the film was based. The next three years held special items for Tom. His portrayal of Peter Patrone, in TNT's The Heidi Chronicles (1995) (TV), earned him an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Special, and 1994 and 1996 brought two of Tom's last period pieces. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994) had Tom playing opposite Kenneth Branagh as Victor Frankenstein's college chum, Henry. And 1996 was a whole new experience for Tom. Disney was looking for someone special to portray their gentle Quasimodo in their newest full feature animation motion picture, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996). Tom had never done voiceover work for a full film; to sing before a microphone was one thing, but to do song and voice for someone that he couldn't watch while performing was a whole new experience for him. He recalled that when he first auditioned he thought it strange that the producers and director stood looking at the floor while he sang...until he noticed they were looking at sketches of Quasimodo and were trying to "feel" if he sounded like their bell-ringer. 1998 saw Tom returning to the stage but this time as director, again, as he undertook the enormous task of bringing John Irving's 1985 novel, "The Cider House Rules", to the stage. An 8-hour production which required the audience two days to see the whole performance, it was quite an undertaking. Co-directing with Jane Jones (of "BookIt" in Seattle, Washington) Tom took the play from its Seattle opening to the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, California where it received wonderful reviews. For the past eight years Tom has resided in Seattle, Washington where he owns his own home. He figures he could live in Los Angeles or New York - the acting hubs - but in Seattle, he's near the things he loves. "Up in Seattle people look after their lives in a way you can't do in New York or Los Angeles," he says. But no matter where he calls home, we can always count on Tom for bringing us into a world that will thrill, excite, facinate, move and inspire us either through his films, the stage or his beautiful singing.

What are some really cool superpowers?

Myself personally? I've always like intelligence that was "beyond freakish." Its part of the reason why I'm so fascinated with the character "L" from the anime "Death Note." How intelligent is L? He's probably the most intelligent fictional human of any comic book medium, in fact I think he's so smart, he could probably plot so that every single super hero and villain, of both the Marvel and DC universes, all kill each other. In fact, the only fictional force capable of killing Superman Prime is probably the Death Note. All you have to do, is write his name on it. Unless of course the D.C. writers have some silly rule saying the rules of death don't apply to him or something. L is not officially a "comic book" character because, even though the word "manga" in fact means "comic," the term has become something that makes Japanese comics something separate outright. Drawn characters on paper are called "comics" if they are American or European, but its called "manga" if its Japanese. Thus a "manga" character, is not the same thing as a "comic" book character because of different story telling conventions. My favorite fictional character overall though is L, followed by Superman, Spiderman, Silver Surfer and Ghost Rider respectively. Again, I feel L's intelligence, is beyond that of even Reed Richards, and his mind is so well developed I don't think even professor X could do anything to him. Professor X's powers, are in fact limited by the strength of the mind; Magneto, because he has an extremely strong will, has trained himself so that he is for all intents and purposes imune to professor X's attacks. However to render yourself imune, you need a truly exceptional mind, naturally, L easily qualifies. Another character whose mind is imune to telepathic attack is Lex Luthor; according to comic book encyclopedia sources you can TRY to manipulate him that way, you can TRY... Technically, intelligence that goes beyond freakish, something that can not be measured, qualifies as a super power more or less. Some turd named Robert Freitas wrote a theory on the sentience quotient; the sentience quotient measures the processing capacity of living organisms, according to those calculations, the highest possible sentience quotient is that of 50. To put into perspective; the most powerful computer in the world I believe was given an SQ of 15, whereas the human brain has an SQ of 20. Actually, I think the most powerful super computer only got an SQ of 9 or something, in other words the processing power of the brain is just over twice as much. The SQ, the way he explained it to me, had nothing to do with intelligence, but data processing. Data such as, regulating body temperature, motor skill, etc. The general concensus among Psychologists, is that the whole "10% of your brain" thing is a myth, and that you use 100% of your brain, all the time. Let me tell you though right now, from basic neurobiology, if that was true you'd be paralyzed; the brain is all about efficiency, and to use it all at once would, well, think what happens to a computer when it uses all its resources, or, too much electricity is put in there. Even though I disagree on a lot of points Freitasmakes, his SQ calculations are somewhat interesting. Reason being, autistic savants, show tremendous mental abilities; to me, the character "L" from the anime Death Note is what, potentially, the human mind would be capable of, if somehow the "secret" behind savant syndrome could be unlocked, that is, L has the intelligence of a savant, but without the debilitating autism, and THAT, is what makes the character dangerous. Freitasbelieves that the brain is already operating at peak efficiency when, I pointed out, if that was true, how do you account for autistic savants? Psychologists in general hold you can not increase intelligence, you are born with what you're born with. See though 1) most psychologists who say such things are often white, and that alone means their word and ethics are questionable, given the overall history of the race 2) they rarely, if ever, provide neurobiological reasons as to WHY you can't, and when you ask for it the reply is always the same "there is still a lot we don't know." So, next to nothing is known about the inner workings of the brain, and yet it is assumed that the highest levels of intelligence can not be reached simply through some form of training. They don't know, but, apparently like good scientists, they will just go on ahead, and jump to conclusions. Think about that for a moment; autistic people, literally have heads full of holes, they have missing gray matter, and yet many of them, are smarter than us. Many are even capable of calculation feats that go beyond people whose I.Q.'s are from 190 upward. If a human being, somehow learned to use their brain with that kind of efficiency, but without the debilitating autism, or in some cases psychosis (some mental illness), then, a character like "L" could be very real. Superman, and L, are the fictional characters that most facinate me because, they could exist. Superman because there is much about radiation laws and how energy behaves in biological organisms that we don't know, and I'll admit its a long shot, however L, between those two COULD exist. By the standards of the sentient quotient, L is a human being, with an SQ of 30. Again, just with an SQ of 20, there are people with I.Q.'s of 190 and higher out there. The anime character L, with an SQ of 30, well just try to imagine what I.Q. number he'd get if it actually WAS measured. By my estimate, the way he is portrayed, and seriously otakuing out here, I think the character L has an I.Q. of 5,000. Yeah, you read right; 5,000. He's so smart he's barely human. The characters Mello and Near, at 1,500 and 3,000 respectively. If you are a fan of Death Note I'll just tell it to you straight; Light was way in over his head, because all his major enemies were way out of his league. Light was a victim of the death note, L, chose to die, because Light could not outsmart him, and then when Near steps into the scene, the viewer has to watch helplessly as Light fights a hopeless battle of wits he THINKS he's winning. Light's downfall is so tragic, all you can do is cringe as Near makes sport of him. Like I said before; I think the coolest super power is freakish intellect, or I should say superhuman. With an I.Q. of 5,000, you'd be so intelligent, you would be able to pass every exam of the toughest college and university undergrad and graduate programs, simply from analyzing the patterns of the questions. Even if you encounter numbers for the very first time your brain is so powerful, just on the patterns alone, you can deduce the correct answer, which, in the entrance exam day episode of Death Note, is precisely what "L" did. Scary isn't it? But its possible; everythign boils down to patterns, so its not a question of whether or not patterns exist, its not a question is IF they can be deduced, but WHO can deduce them, and do it right. Most of us though, need to slave away studying, to pass our tests, sadly. I think the gift of high intelligence would greatly benefit the human race because it would allow people to really enjoy life. Problem is, the irresponsible breeding practices of women, given all the evil men they have allowed to spawn, prevents such a dream from coming true. Mental exercises, theoretically speaking, can be developed, to maximize people's intelligence to where, in the future, AVERAGE people, will be as intelligent as Light, while people born with a talent for being intelligent, will be like the character "L." However, again, so many evil men have successfully reproduced, people prone to unethical behavior, because of the stupidity of women all over the world, that the IDEA, of men with freakishly high intelligence, scares me half to death. Its part of the reason I have kept the method, mental exercises I've devolved safely locked away in my head. Even I myself have not used them; I know what exercises to do, that will make me smarter, but, I haven't done them. Nor will I ever share them; women are irresponsible and stupid, and the men they have spawned over the years have done enough damage I think. One place where I am not afraid to share, is Japan; one of the things I am planning to do, if I ever go to the country, is offer myself as a guinea pig, to prove that my methods work. See, Japanese women, for the most part, have not bred irresponsibly the way western and middle eastern women have, thus, if some of the people there are made freakishly smart, I can rest easy that intelligence will be used for something good, like, for example, taking away the United State's nuclear advantage, a way to neutralize nukes. Can it be done? Someone as intelligent as L could figure it out, sure. At the risk of sounding grandiose, what I have in mind, regarding my theories of intellectual development, means that whoever I share this stuff with, will produce enough "eggheads" so intelligent, that scientists here will be left out in the cold. I have figure out a way to make people smarter, involving an intensive regiment of simple puzzles you can work through simple pencil and paper, that will improve memorization, imagination, and logic, the more those patterns are exercised, the greater the brain's efficiency. How do I know it works? I majored in Psychology and I read a lot of Neurobiology books, or at least thumbed through them. I also read about language development, and language development, is basically data crunching, working on that principle, if mental exercises are done from an early age, the brain can develop to a very high degree. Again though, the problem remains; the irresponsible breeding practices of women. If such exercises are done, once again, by very bad people, it would be a disaster. I will sooner endure dental torture, before I reveal ANYTHING, of what I have developed, to the white people. Call me delusional, if it will satisfy your ego, but inside my mind, I hold something that can bring down the western world, something, that will undo the damage done to other races around the world, that will unlock their brain's potential to such an extent, the entire western world will be turned into a backwater, while the rest of the world, enjoys a standard of living generations ahead of yours. Yes, I realize that Asian people are more likely to be lactose intolerant. Yes, I realize that whites have developed most of the major scientific advances of the world. Yes, I am a snotty little brat who was made fun of for being a dork and now I'm a racist. But who cares? I hate white people so that makes me cool.Edit: Please stop using my language. If you think the "western wold" is so evil, I would prefer if you left it permanently.Autistic savants. Methods of Brain washing. The Chinese idea of "Kung Fu." The Psychology of Language, which has conclusively shown that language forms at an early age, and if all language is, are nothing more than data patterns, then, all intellectual development is, a combination of endless repetition (Kung fu), ensuring that the mind is not damaged (brainwashing the idea of "improvement" into the person), and if you begin early enough, using the correct puzzles and patterns, a particularly intelligent person, as some people are indeed naturally smart, can become an "L." Average people, like Light Yagami. If the whole of Japan, had only 10,000 people like that, considering the fact that you nuked them, it would only be a matter of time, before they rendered your military advantage utterly worthless. Since America was 100,000 people like that in reality and is far more advanced weapon wise, this is just a silly fantasty. Lately I've been behaving like a perfect ruffian; no one thinks my idea can be put into practice since it is pretty stupid, but, if and when I prove it by mistake, I'm keeping it exclusively Japanese. I don't want to harm America's minds with it's stupidity.Why Japan? Because they're hideous, and need at least one fan. Yes; that's my reason. Westerners are handsome, intelligent, and polite, and I swear to god Asian babies look more like lab mice than people..... I'm sorry but, I don't like whites; I've way too jealous of them to put up with them anymore. Oh yeah; virtually the bulk of the superpowers I like, involve the mind. I suppose it was inevitable that I would study psychology; I was fascinated by the human brain since the 5th grade. However I am not interested in pursuing a higher degree, because I feel the science is pretty worthless. I think that a would be psychologist, should focus exclusively on neurobiology; study neurobiology extensively first, and THEN move on to the behavioral stuff. Neurobiology, as a psychology major, is only barely a footnote amidst volumes of useless information. Its useless because without a biological background how can you hope to understand behaviorism? Two semester's worth of classes, which is often the neurobiology curriculum of your typical psychology major, is not nearly enough, you need to dedicate a whole four years, and THEN, at the masters level, study behaviorism, and later on Freudian theories which at their heart, in fact have much neurobiology. The subconscious mind, can be thought of as neural processes the brain is not consciously aware of. In other words Freud was more than just the Psychology equivalent of "flat earth science;" he described what he did in abstract terms because, in his own words, when you are dealing with 100 billion neurons, it is the only way you can describe the workings of the mind. Thus, the only way Psychology can advance, is if would be majors, future psychologists, have a firm grounding in neurobiology first, followed by behaviorism, and then at the PhD level, Freud. Again with 100 billion neurons, you can only describe the workings of the mind in abstract terms. Neurobiology helps you know what is firing where inside a person's skull, behaviorism tells you the outward consequences of such firing, and Freud, helps you understand how it all works together in the grand abstract scheme known as the mind. However, my professors were all egotistical douchebags who, simply did not understand, so, I made it a point never to show up to class because it was always the same useless stuff. The lessons were about this disorder or that, this established fact or that, but NEVER, how people could improve themselves, after a while I just got sick of it. What do I believe is the proper curriculum for a Psychologist? 1) A bachelor of science in neurobiology, with a minor in physics/mathematics. Yeah, you read right; mathematics and physics, should be a part of the curriculum, with elective courses emphasizing philosophy and art. Why art? Its the workings of the mind; understanding it, has to go beyond just hard logic. 2) A master's degree in traditional behaviorism, so, I guess this part remains unchanged. 3) Finally, Freud, at the doctorate level, where it all comes together. Einstein could quantify basic atomic law through his famous equation, it may be possible to quantify the workings of the human brain through equations as well, problem is to formally do it, a person would have to have the above educational background. Why don't I do it? 'Cause I hate college that's why. later.
