Tom Berenger (born May 31, 1949) is an Academy Award nominated American actor known mainly for his roles in action films.

Berenger was born Thomas Michael Moore to an Irish Catholic family in Chicago, Illinois. He studied journalism at the University of Missouri, but decided to seek an acting career following his graduation. He worked first in regional theatre and moved to New York City in the 1970s. He worked in soap operas and had a starring role on One Life to Live.

Berenger's feature film debut was the lead in Rush It (1976), an independent film now mostly forgotten except for its cast members who went on to greater renown. In 1977, Berenger had a small but noticeable role as a murderer in Looking for Mr. Goodbar. In 1978, he had a starring role in "In Praise of Older Women" for Avco-Internation Pictures. In 1979, he had the role of Butch Cassidy in Butch and Sundance: The Early Days, a role he got in part because of his resemblance to Paul Newman, who played the character in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) These early roles highlight Berenger's ability to play both villains and heroes.

Berenger's film career peaked in the 1980s starting with The Big Chill (1983). In 1986, he received an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of the sociopathic Sgt. Barnes in Platoon. In the mid-1990s he was most recognizable in his role from the movie Sniper, and its later sequels.

It has been recorded that Berenger himself has said that his favorite movie he had starred in was the 1993 hit Gettysburg, where he played the role of General James Longstreet. He has said he has seen Gettysburg more than any other of the movies with his starring role.

In more recent years, Berenger has continued to have an active acting career in film and television, although often at a supporting level. He also began a career as a producer in the 1990s. In a 2002 interview Berenger was quoted as saying, "Since the 1970s I've seen myself as a poet. Sometimes I express that poetry through acting, sometimes through cooking, and sometimes just having a good chat, you know, one of them chats you have when you're stoned and the hour is getting late. I don't know what's gonna come my way, but I think Berenger's gonna be big these next couple years."

Berenger starred in the mini-series version of Stephen King's Nightmares & Dreamscapes, as a celebrated author who realizes the warped painting he recently purchased, is alive with illustrations of impending doom for him in "The Road Virus Heads North".

Family life

Berenger has been married three times:

1. Barbara Wilson (1975 - 1985)
2. Lisa Williams (1986 - 1997)
3. Trish Alvaran (1997 - present)

Berenger has six children: Patrick, Allison, Chelsea, Chloe, Shiloh, and Scout, and resides in South Carolina.

Brief Scientology period

Tom Berenger had a brief period from 1987–1989 when he discovered The Church of Scientology. Star, Sun, and other tabloids devoted significant coverage to Berenger parading around with Tom Cruise and other notable "Toms" of Scientology. Berenger was quoted as saying "Once we convert Tom Selleck, the trio of Toms will bring true uplifting to the masses of The States". At the time of his divorce from Lisa Williams, Tom Berenger denounced Scientology and is no longer connected to the Church.
