ADD QUOTES
- (when asked about Earl's mustache from My Name is Earl) Tom: Earl's mustache is coming along well and when he reaches puberty, it will really fill in. (laughs) That's a joke. I have my mustache now when people want it or when it is OK for that character. I have thrown plenty of spoofs at my mustache on Conan O'Brien. Every time I go on Conan, we make fun of my mustache.
  Edit Share Hide
- Tom: There was a time I could have been mistaken for Burt Reynolds. I had a mustache and so did he. But he was the number one star in the world, so there wasn't really much confusion.
  Edit Share Hide
- Tom: For a character with longevity, you have to have that strength.
