CSIfiles.com Interviews Tom Hillmann

Tom Hillmann - CSI Miami
Rob: How did you land the part of Agent Sackheim?
Tom Hillmann: The script described Special Agent Sackheim as a "former West Pointer, buff, stoic. Spotless suit. Everything pressed, including his face." That made me laugh when I read it because it was like trying on a new pair of shoes...

Bio

Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award winner, Tom Hillmann has been performing for as long as he can remember. A native New Yorker, Tom grew up on the sunny shores of the Atlantic coast, went to college in the heartland, then ventured west to Los Angeles.

Unable to land a job as a waiter in LA, he supported himself with odd jobs including painting address numbers on street curbs, playing a Power Ranger at children's parties, and endured a short stint as a drug test specimen taker.

Selected Los Angeles theatre credits include lead roles in SHE LOVES ME, GUYS & DOLLS, THE 1940'S RADIO HOUR, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, INTO THE WOODS, SEE HOW THEY RUN, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, THAT'S SAUL FOLKS, and THE TRAVELING LADY.

Film credits include BATTLE: LOS ANGELES, OUT OF TIME, BAD BOYS II, PROJECT: METALBEAST, LARRY THE CABLE GUY: HEALTH INSPECTOR, ACE VENTURA 3 and Francis Ford Coppola's THE OUTSIDERS.

Recent TV credits include BURN NOTICE, HBO's RECOUNT, ARMY WIVES (recurring as Dr. Adam Harwood,) appearances on ONE TREE HILL, CSI, CSI: MIAMI (recurring guest star as Special Agent Sackheim) and K-VILLE.

He has also performed in numerous television and radio commercials including the popular LYCOS spot as Anna Kournikova's agent.

 

He and the wife have three kids and some fish.

Trivia:

He still drives the Prius he bought in the spring of 2001 to cut back on gas consumption (not to save the planet because you should see the size of the battery this thing has)

He is the third of six children; boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl.

His last name has two n's on the end, indicative of his German heritage. He's also Irish.

He is a distant relation of Jeremiah Dixon of the Mason Dixon Line.

He taught himself to ride a unicycle.

He never wants to be a drug test specimen taker ever again.

Ever.

Again.
