Tommy became Carl Showalter

To be honest, Tommy is actually from New York, he is a hardened criminal nicknamed Test Tube. He wanted to get away from NY for a little and get away from his old life so he moved to L.A. and worked as convenience store clerk for awhile, not doing much. He got bored with this, took what money he had saved up and moved back to New York, where he would take up the odd job to get by, and began writing a movie, that he thought would be a huge hit and help him win over his beautiful neighbor Angelica. The movie thing didn't work out, and he was broke, so he said *beep* it, I need to go back to my ways, this straight life aint working. So he called up an old friend of his he knew from back in the day, Joe Cabot, see if he had any jobs. Joe happened to have something going on, and knowing Tommy is a solid guy, he let him in on it, a heist involving 5 other guys. It is supposed to go good, as no one knows each other, but one of them ends up being a *beep* rat/cop, and it goes horribly wrong, everyone gets killed, but Tommy manages to get the score and slip away before cops arrive, the only one surviving the botched heist. He then moved back to L.A., laying low for a bit working as at a restaurant where he dressed up as Buddy Holly. He hooks up with an old buddy of his, Chazz, and his buddy Pip, and they form a rock band called the Lone Rangers. They go to a radio station hoping for a big break, but when the DJ refuses to play them, they wind up holding everyone hostage with plastic guns. When he gets out of jail, he moves to Mexico, where he meets an old friend, El Mariachi, and helps him with a couple things. He really enjoyed living in Mexico, but after getting involved with Mariachi's *beep* he moved to Long Island New York, and got an apartment on top of a bar called Trees Lounge. He pretty much became an alcoholic. He went on a drunken rampage and killed over 30 people one night, was sent to jail for life and in jail killed even more people and earned a reputation as a ruthless and notorious killer. While being transferred to another prison, the cons take over the plane, and he manages to escapes to Las Vegas. He is still on the lamb and is on the list of America's Top Ten Most Wanted.
