Thomas began his acting career at the age of ten when he took part in childrens' theater. Gibson performed and studied with the Footlight Players at the Dock Street Theater and starred in his first play in 1973.
Six years later, Gibson attended the College of Charleston and interned at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. He was soon encouraged to apply to the famous Julliard School and ended up winning a scholarship to go there. He pursued his studies and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
Gibson made his professional stage debut in 1985 in David Hare's A MAP OF THE WORLD. In 1992, he got his big break when asked to star in Ron Howard's FAR AND AWAY, with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. He was recently teamed back up with them again for Stanley Kubrick's EYES WIDE SHUT. Additional film credits include THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, MEN OF WAR, LOVE AND HUMAN REMAINS, and BARCELONA.
He has also appeared on television in THE KENNEDYS OF MASSACHUSETTS, Armistead Maupin's TALES OF THE CITY for PBS, and in the NBC mini-series A WILL OF THEIR OWN.
Gibson has recently been nominated for a Golden Globe for his wonderful acting as Greg in the ABC series, DHARMA AND GREG. He currently resides with his wife, Christina, and his new baby boy born on June 23. In his spare time, Mr. Gibson loves to play golf!
