Character Profiles

Tommy

Monday 15 December 2008

Married to Julia, Tommy’s life revolves around the family company.

In Series 1, there was a power struggle between him and sister Sarah after she got the job as president. Feeling less and less important at Ojai Foods, Tommy starts another company - Walker Landing - with Holly, much to Nora's dismay.

Disapproving of little brother Justin’s attitude to life, they frequently argue. But when Tommy finds out he's infertile, both Kevin and Justin agree to be donors and twins are born shortly after. Sadly, one of them dies which eventually leads to Tommy and Julia separating.

When Ojai Foods gets into troubled waters, Tommy and Holly come up with a rescue plan, saving the day by merging Ojai and Walker Landing.

Tommy's back as a recurring character in Series 5, but despite limited screen time he has some pretty big bombshells to drop!

Tommy is played by Balthazar Getty

Balthazar Getty co-starred in the miniseries Into the West and Traffic, and in the feature film Ladder 49, opposite Joaquin Phoenix and John Travolta. He starred in and produced Shadow Hours and appeared in the film Slingshot with David Arquette, which screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, and was seen in Feast, playing the lead role in this latest Project Greenlight feature.
