There was never a Tom Wilkinson moment onscreen that didn’t feel authentic. He wasn’t a supporting player; he was an actor who elevated the material, regardless of genre. I’ll never forget his heartbreakingly great work as a father overcome with grief in “In the Bedroom.” RIP. pic.twitter.com/CzAGLpHGw9

My favorite Tom Wilkinson memory…

When we wrapped The Exorcism of Emily Rose, I went to him to say goodbye. As I went in for a hug, he turned sideways and put one arm around my shoulder.

I said, “Well that’s a British hug if I’ve ever had one…”

The bottom line with me for an Actor is do I believe what they’re saying, and I never heard a word come out of TOM WILKINSON’s mouth that I didn’t 100% believe.

He was a superlative Actor.
