I just bought the Box with all episodes,
but I miss Tom, in later ep.
Wasn't he so cute back then, what a man!
It's sad that he's now old and not so cute.
I know that's life, but I wish that
the pictures of him drunk and so on would
get away.
He will always be The Man Tommy Jordache!
Cute, sexy and a bit sad, nice body btw!
I will answer myself, Tom and Julie is not in the later episodes, so I would not buy them, but I did know Tom died, only I didn't know Julie died.
Yes, I know now, but I don't think the later ep. was shown were I live...
I don't like Susan Sullivan and the girl who played her daugher, urk!
The later ep. was so bad, don't buy them...
I have the entire series on DVD (Books 1 & 2), but have not watched Book 2 yet, at least partly because Tom is not in it. I will eventually, and I vaguely remember seeing parts of it when I was a kid, but I know it's nothing like Book 1.
Tom Jordache has so much action swirling around him! He's the Black Sheep of the Jordache family, he's always getting into trouble, and he does not care what anyone thinks of him. The contrast between Tom and Rudy (also a great character, BTW) is spelled out early when Rudy tells him he smells "like a wild animal". The scene when Tommy lures that boxer into the enclosed space (Tom's hotel room), putting them on equal ground, and he just takes that guy apart! No mindless brute, Tom Jordache! Love that scene, even if it does foreshadow what eventually happens with Falconetti (he had to run from gangsters, and he got away with it that time...but he knew he couldn't run forever, tried to change - but could not tolerate a bully)...so sad (not being able to escape his fate, no matter how hard he tried. Trouble just seemed to find him), and Rudy vowing revenge - that brotherly love coming to the fore after all their differences - makes it all the more touching. A great, modern, tragic character...
RMPM was the first I'd ever seen Nolte, and I've been a huge fan ever since!

Shouldn't he have fought him inside the ring?
shareUnfortunately, like you said, that's life. I remember when Rich Man, Poor Man was on ABC for the first time. I was in high school and had a full head of hair and a flat belly. Now most of my hair is gone and no matter what I do I can't get rid of that spare tire. Nick Nolte is human. And after we hit 40 it looks like it's all downhill...at least for the large majority of us.
shareKing Nolte's acting has only gotten better.
Yes--his real name is Nicholas King Nolte.
Carpe Noctem!
