Tom Waits Week: Tom Onscreen

This list isn’t complete, by any means. Tom has a lot of walkthroughs and cameos as everything from an undercover cop (in The Two Jakes), a hobo (The Fisher King), or a petrified man (The Stone Boy), and then Francis Ford Coppola cast him in nearly every movie he made in the 80’s (The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, The Cotton Club). There’s also a bunch of movies that are near impossible to find now (He’s third-billed in something called Candy Mountain). These are some of his most notable roles.
