Thanks so much for creating a "best of" Eric Martsolf's quotes on Tom. I read them all, but still, its great to see them all in one place. I think Tom is just a very, very easy guy to work with. It should serve him well with his career in the future *fingers crossed*

I had to chuckle at the 6'5" thing. I love how Tom just seems to get taller and taller. LOL

And also thinks for the very pretty pictures.

And CLEX!! Together again.

Eric was very generous in his praise for Tom. It sounds like they had a blast working together. I love how Tom collaborates with his actors when he directs. We heard similar stories from AR about Patriot, and I have to think it's rare to have a director who cares that much about helping the actors to understand his vision.

The height thing made me laugh, too. It reminded me of Sam Witwer. Obviously Tom makes a BIG impression! :)

That clip made me nervous as well as excited, with all the clone imagery, but I know Michael and Tom will be AMAZING together, and that's all that really matters to me.

You are a goddess for accumulating and sharing all these on one handy-dandy post. Do you mind if I post a link to this entry on JTW?

I haven't actually tried to read or watch most of the spoilery stuff about what's left of SV. Totally odd for me, but I thought I'd try and see things unspoiled. Of course, I'm caving after seeing all these nice Tom quotes.

I mentioned you're a goddess, right?

After I read the third or fourth interview with a gushing Tom quote, I said to myself, I HAVE to collect these! :) I was working on an entry for JTW (which I'm sure you've seen by now) when you posted this comment. I only posted the list of links, but I did include a link back here if people wanted to read the collection of quotes.

I've been avoiding spoilers, too. I want to be surprised! In these interviews I skipped any question that looked like it was going to delve too deeply into the action of the episode, but I still ended up reading a couple of spoilers I wish I hadn't. I hope as little as possible gets spilled about the finale in advance!

You're way too nice to me, but I love you for it. *hugs*

I had no idea that Tom was directing this episode! And aww, I love hearing all the nice things that Eric (or anyone) has to say about him. Tom always comes off as a down to earth guy with no airs and it's constantly proven by the stories everyone has to tell. :D

I had to LOL at the two of them making fun of Justin. They probably mentioned how his shirt was off all the time in Passions and still is now. XD

Thanks so much for sharing all of this! :)

The thing that impresses me is that people who work with Tom don't just say nice things about him, they go out of their way to gush. Everybody loves him.

Did any of the guys on Passions ever wear shirts? ;) Eric said in one interview that his castmates on DOOL call him Eric Shirtsoff because his character never seems to wear one.

After what Tom put Justin through in Patriot, I think the least he could have done in return is give us lots of shirtless Tom in Dominion. Oh, well, I guess I can settle for black leather and those glorious biceps.

Ah, thank you so much for compiling these!

Oh Tom - he's so gifted and brilliant. Can't wait for tonight!

You're so welcome! Thanks for commenting. :)

I thought Tom did a fabulous job with Booster. What a fun episode, and it was meaningful, too. I fell in love with Clark all over again.

Wow. I think your summary is better than all these quotes put together. ♥ For me, it's everything about Tom that makes me love him, not just what we see onscreen. In general I avoid talk shows because I so often become disillusioned about the actors I fangirl, but in Tom's rare appearances he's only charmed me more. He's an amazing man.
