Tomm began acting when he joined his high school drama group in an attempt to impress a girl. The girl then left the group and he stayed, that was (too) many years ago.
After leaving school he accidentally became involved with a children's club, which was run in Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline. This lead to working in the theatre, then working for many of the local theatre groups and finally joining one, Dunfermline Dramatic Society. Over the years, despite appearances on TV and in film as well as dozens of professional theatre productions, Tomm has always returned to DDS.
