TOM BRAIDWOOD

While most actors go through rigorous auditions for roles on popular television shows, Tom Braidwood's professional acting career began while he worked behind the scenes of The X-Files. He was in his regular job as first assistant director on the set when "E.B.E." (1X16) director William Graham, trying to describe the casting of Frohike, pointed him out. Tom served in both occupations for five years, continuing to play Frohike through season seven and The X-Files feature film. He will reprise that role as one of the leads in the spin-off series, The Lone Gunmen.

Besides The X-Files, Tom was first assistant director on such series as The Sentinel, Pittsburgh and Mercy Point. He directed second unit for the series Millennium, The Sentinel and Strange World. His behind-the-scenes work also allowed him to be a writer, script editor, producer, production manager and production assistant on various series, features, documentaries and made-for-television movies. As an actor, Tom was in residence at Canada's Tamahnous Theatre Workshop Company, where he wrote and performed as a musician.

Braidwood is a Canadian resident with his family.
