I just showed Hook to my kids for the first time a couple weeks ago! I asked if they had a question for you. My 9 year old wants to know if you still remember Neverland after leaving it or whether you forgot it like Peter Pan did?

ThomasTulak3026 karma

:) that's such a beautiful question. respect.

Tell him I try really hard to remember as much as I can. Somethings will stay with me for ever. But I accidentally left all my pixie dust in Never Land.

then give him a high 5 for me!

CertainDamagedLemon1038 karma

Thanks for the response! High five delivered (to her) :)

ThomasTulak1117 karma

her, gotchya.

:)

DopeyOpi92549 karma

You seem like a good dude.

ThomasTulak608 karma

thank you, kindly.

ASchway324 karma

I hope someday you come knock on my door to play ball.

ThomasTulak391 karma

awe

AllAquaEverything191 karma

Oof. That hit me right in the feels.

ThomasTulak164 karma

hellooo-its-me1663 karma

What is your favourite memory of Robin Williams?

ThomasTulak5266 karma

I'm close to the same age as his son, whom he didn't get to see much, while on set. So he would regularly come knock on my trailer door, and ask my mother if I could come out to play... and we would hang out and run around and play ball or what ever... just hanging out with him off set was the greatest.

aclickbaittitle2459 karma

Holy shit dude. Robin Williams was basically your dad for a little there

ThomasTulak3425 karma

indeed! Thats very much how I felt growing up. He even remembered me later on. about ten years ago I emailed his agent, and a couple days after he called me. I had the chance to catch up a bit... I took his passing really hard. Felt like a piece of me was gone... thats why I posted that tribute music video for him.

GeneralDogsbody862 karma

I think all of us that grew up watching his films felt like a piece of us had gone when he passed. I can only imagine how much more harrowing that must have been for those that knew him personally.

Having lost friends and family members in similar fashion, there are really no words.

ThomasTulak1064 karma

you're very much right. I shut myself in my room for days. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried my eyes out.

MatanKatan264 karma

Wow! That's kind of sad, if you think about it -- the part about you being his replacement son, I mean.

ThomasTulak726 karma

yeah... I've often wondered if that was some how connected to his depression... I know I can't have been the only kid he connected to in such a way over the years. But, if nothing else, I'm happy to have been there for him. He meant so much to me, and has had a profound influence on my life.

Trigger2360 karma

A friend of mine went to school with one of his kids and met him several times. Said he was engaging, sincere, and one of the nicest people they had been around.

ThomasTulak63 karma

your friend is absolutely correct!

I_am_ahab_11243 karma

How fun was it to shoot the food fight? And how did they make Julia Roberts so tiny and then get her back to normal size after filming?

ThomasTulak2220 karma

the food fight itself was great... tons of fun... it was the afterward part that sucked... the clean up.

there where like 20 or 30 Lost Boys that all needed to take showers and clean up, after getting covered in food, so we could reset and do another take... and there were only like 6 or 8 showers... and not nearly enough hot water. It took 3 days to film, and we did it over and over each day... I dont know how many time I waited in line, covered in Never Food, to take a cold shower, and come out squeaky clean...

and as for how they made Julia so tiny... Pixie dust, obviously ;)

thunder_shart194 karma

What was the Never Food made out of? It seemed kind of goupey.

ThomasTulak519 karma

it was SOO goopey! it was whipped cream with food coloring.

B3NB4IL857 karma

Are you well recognised for your role in Hook?

What was it like being a child actor in Hook and how did it affect personal life /education?

ThomasTulak1458 karma

I dont get recognized as much as I used to, now that I'm in my 30's and bearded... but when ever some one find out, they say they can see it immediately... I guess my eyes never change, lol.

I've noticed a lot of child actors have a difficult time growing up, and that stereo type is kinda true. all I wanted growing up as to fit in, have friends, and be cool. But being in something as well known as Hook tends to single you out. I ran from it for a long time... I embraced it as an adult though, and I'm glad I did.

B3NB4IL319 karma

The eyes! Yeah, eyes are always unique.

That makes sense really, I can imagine lots of kids bragging that they went to the same class as you! Haha, really glad you embraced it though, and all the best for your upcoming production. Hope it goes smoothly!

ThomasTulak358 karma

it can be a little weird some times, when some one tells me they remember going to class with me, but I dont remember them at all... I guess a thing like this tends to be memorable :p

thanks you, kindly!

MuonManLaserJab199 karma

some one tells me they remember going to class with me, but I dont remember them at all...

You might just suck at remembering people. I'm not famous, and the same thing happens to me! Some people are crazy good at remembering faces.

ThomasTulak186 karma

oh i totally DO suck at remembering people haha

itty53111 karma

I dont get recognized as much as I used to, now that I'm in my 30's and bearded... but when ever some one find out, they say they can see it immediately... I guess my eyes never change, lol.

I recognized you immediately, even with the beard.

No offense bruh, but you got yourself a baby face. Even with the beard. Ain't a bad thing.

ThomasTulak139 karma

lol, i totally do...

I just meant that, if you didn't already know when you see me, to look for it, than you wouldn't have noticed... or atleast, most people don't any more...

used to happen all the time, people would stop me in public all the time, lol.

Forwhom107 karma

This thread reminds me of the scene in Hook where one of the lost boys (was it you?) pulls and stretches Robin Williams face, then looks in his eyes and recognizes him as Peter Pan. It IS you!

ThomasTulak284 karma

that was a touching scene. I was not the one that stretched his face. right after Isaiah Robinson gave that line, "Oh there you are, Peter." I came in and said, "Welcome back to Never Land, Pan the Man!"

terranlurker119 karma

For the longest time I thought you called him "Panda man"

ThomasTulak55 karma

haha, im surprised how many people think that... I guess I just need to annunciate. lol.

aiiye13 karma

Have you ever used your fifteen minutes to close on a gal? (Or guy, whatever.)

ThomasTulak42 karma

hahaha... It has definitely gotten me the girl a time or two (or three), whats nice though, is that I usually dont have to bring it up myself...

showYOUmyOHface690 karma

Rufio! Rufio! Ru-fi-ooooooooooooooooooo?

ThomasTulak786 karma

that is so dangerous!

bankholdup5201 karma

this is the only proper response

ThomasTulak181 karma

:)

UnderWhatRainbow505 karma

I had no idea that Dustin Hoffman was Hook until the credits rolled.

Robin is cool, but Dustin... do you have any memories of him?

By the way, my favorite scene was when he was the school master for Robin's kids and gave the lecture on "Before you came along..."

ThomasTulak935 karma

ah, yes, good ol' Dustin. I did meet him, I attended his birthday party, (he served gummy bears and cool aid, and gave out copies of "Horton Hears a Who, narrated by Duston Hoffman) ... but, in order to play the part more convincingly we was drinking every day, and always tipsy, so he tended to stay away from the younger kids away from set... I'm not knocking his performance or anything, much respect for him and his method. Thats just the way things worked out, and why he didn't have as much an impact on me... plus he is a lot more timid off camera, like he goes into his shell... where as Robin was more larger-than-life.

UnderWhatRainbow399 karma

we was drinking every day

Now I'm really envious!!!

ThomasTulak326 karma

ha ha ha, right?!

it's not all that un common for actors when certain roles call for it.

spacepilot_3000183 karma

Also when they don't

ThomasTulak116 karma

indeed :p

ParParpc432 karma

What's your favorite memory from filming?

ThomasTulak1886 karma

during the pirate ship battle, with tons of pirates and lost boys and tons of extras, Steven gets on the loud speaker trying to get every one's attention. He's just about got every one calmed down and starts to give instructions, when Robin climbs to the top of the pirate ship, behind Steven, and moons every one!

needless to say, Steven lost control of the situation, lol

43-86491 karma

Thanks for this. I love hearing more stories about Robin. Just when I thought I heard them all...

ThomasTulak354 karma

you're welcome!

KnowledgeNate417 karma

Do you still talk to Rufio?

ThomasTulak738 karma

actually yes. He and I were just talking on Facebook messenger the other day, about his upcoming prequel spin off movie.

Mikasorisrex258 karma

Will you be working on that project with him?

ThomasTulak661 karma

all the lost boys will be making cameos in it... at least as many as he can get a hold of...

SullyDuggs273 karma

I thought it was funny that everyone's biggest concern was that he was going to put himself in the role of younger Rufio. The dude is 42 years old! Thankfully he showed up and put a kibosh to that nonsense.

ThomasTulak384 karma

hahaha right?! ... yeah, i saw an open casting call for it, he's looking for a 13 year old to be the new Rufio... but I figure Dante's the most fit person to make that casting decision.

Muthafuckaaaaa374 karma

On your IMDb Page It shows your acting appearances stopped in 1993 and you didn't appear in anything again until 2008. What did you do during that time? Were you still trying to pursue an acting career? Are you still hopeful to continue acting, or are you fully satisfied with being a filmmaker?

Good luck in the future!

ThomasTulak671 karma

during that time I was going to school, having a day job, and just trying to survive the real world... I mean, I left Never Land, and life outside the Never Tree is more stressful that I thought it would be :p

In 08 I embraced my passion for filmmaking, and I'd say yeah, I'm happy. I love making movies, and wish I had'nt waited so long to get back into it.

Muthafuckaaaaa112 karma

Glad to hear that, and thank you for answering my question!

One last thing, when are you expecting your series The Darkest Timeline to be released? I just followed your facebook page and I'm really looking forward to it! I love sci-fi shows of this nature!! I hope it's a huge success for you!

ThomasTulak180 karma

Awesome, thanks! I'm still casting right now. Running an Indie Go Go: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-darkest-timeline-a-web-series/x/1580530

we plan to begin filming in early May. I'd say It'll likely be released on my Youtube channel by the end of the year.

Muthafuckaaaaa55 karma

Sweet! Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions. Looking forward to it!!

ThomasTulak77 karma

thank you! I am too! you can like the facebook page for updates on production: https://www.facebook.com/DarkestTimelineShow/

JediHalcyon345 karma

i remember you saying in your last one that your folks were dicks and spent all your hollywood cash on themselves. is your relationship with them OK or is it strained?

ThomasTulak492 karma

oh wow, you remember that, huh? I'm impressed, that was years ago.

I get along with my father well now, but I havent spoken to my mother in... I don't know how long. They divorced when I was 8.

I_Upvote_Alice_Eve180 karma

Sucks to hear, man. Glad you're doing good.

ThomasTulak255 karma

eh, it is what it is.

F4t45h35333 karma

How great are the memories of being a child on such a "magical" set, a lot of those props were real right? I imagine vast aww and wonder as a kid.

Edit* wow what a karma difference to wake up to!

ThomasTulak656 karma

It was like, the best and most elaborate play time, with the most elaborate jungle gym / play house ever.

some of the props were real, though the dagger I carried was rubber... I mean, I was 6... we don't need to give a 6 year old a real dagger haha... Rufio's sword was real though.

F4t45h35192 karma

Exactly what I was hoping to hear! Awesome stuff thanks for being a part of a great childhood movie me for haha.

ThomasTulak188 karma

You're very welcome! I'm glad it meant so much to you :)

Brohozombie271 karma

When did you realize that Peter was The Pan? What was Neverland like under the Rufio administration?

ThomasTulak457 karma

I knew before most other Lost Boys... in the argument scene, when Rufio draws a line in the sand with his sword, I'm the only one that stays with Peter the entire time...

and Rufio was a lot more strict than Peter. Peter's a free spirit, Where as Rufio was more like a gang leader... but don't tell him I said that, or I'll have to suffer the machine again... oh no, he's coming! hides

Carsinogenic230 karma

The food fight scene.... Was it actually edible food? And did you eat any of it?

ThomasTulak414 karma

it was indeed edible real food, and SOME of it was okay for us to eat... most of it was covered in fly repellent and pesticides, to keep bugs off it, and treated to keep it looking nice for the entirety of the filming of that scene, which took 3 days.

bloodshotnipples195 karma

That is something I never would have thought about. Hmm, TIL.

ThomasTulak200 karma

...makes you think, doesn't it? haha

heartohio70 karma

I'm in the middle of watching cheers for the first time (currently on Season Five) and I TOTALLY recognized you! Fun.

Congrats on returning to your passion!

Edit: so I meant to add this to the comment above about being on Cheers, obviously, but I'm on mobile and watching cheers on the computer so I'm leaving it here.

ThomasTulak71 karma

thank you! enjoy the show, its a classic.

Infected-icee209 karma

What was it like working with Robin Williams? What kind of person was he when the cameras were off?

ThomasTulak482 karma

I hung out with Robin off set a lot. He was like a big kid. always related to me on my level, and seemed like he was having just as much fun as I was. One of the best and funnest people I've ever been around. Not a shred of ego.

Crooks132129 karma

This post and all the talk about him makes me so sad. Such a great guy gone :(

ThomasTulak157 karma

you and me both.

nameisostrich203 karma

Hook is my all-time favorite movie. I've seen it at least 30 times, and reading this brought back so many memories. I can't tell you the number of times my ex and I (it's her favorite movie, too) watched the Boo Box scene and thought, "man, that actor is so good, I wonder what ever happened to him" only to find out it was Glenn Close.

Now to the question: what did you see and learn from Steven Spielberg that made you want to direct?

Thanks for doing this. Amazing memories.

ThomasTulak197 karma

that's great about the boo box, haha... many people don't know it's Glenn Close.

Watching him work, watching him always have the answer, always knowing what he wanted. It was really inspiring. I knew then I wanted to be in charge. I knew then I wanted to one day be the director. He would have a crowd of people wanting his attention and always kept cool and always had the answer. he was such an inspiration on my life.

MrsMcLaine188 karma

Can you please share more about current projects?

ThomasTulak263 karma

I'd LOVE to, thanks for asking :)

I just finished directing a short film called, "Who Dunt Dunt Dunnit?" (mondern day dinner party murder mystery) which is a proof of concept, I'm hoping to turn into a feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRxRuLhGaGo

I'm also in pre production on a sci-fy / comedy web series, "The Darkest Timeline" which is about time travel, alternate reality, and the explanation of the Mandel Effect. https://www.facebook.com/DarkestTimelineShow/

currently running a fundraiser for the web series: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-darkest-timeline-a-web-series/x/1580530#/

and heres a video from my youtube channel talking about the Mandela Effect, and how it relates to the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcsbLIlRimc

some_random_jackass160 karma

[deleted]

ThomasTulak153 karma

wow... well I'm glad to speak to some one who understands this from my point of view. I would ask you, if you're willing, to talk to me privately on facebook or something, so we can talk about this, being something we can both understand.

I was 6 when I delivered the line, "Goodnight, Neverland!" so I had absolutely no idea the implications at the time. I have sense learned how much people quote that line.

and oh yes, I completely feel the same way. It's all any one seems to want to talk about. I went through a phase in my teenage years where I ran from it. I wouldnt talk to any one who brought it up, I did everything I could to change my appearance so I wouldn't get recognized, (even wore glasses I didn't need), and pretended it wasnt me...

there's even a rock band called Goodnight Neverland.

however I reached a point where I accepted it as a part of who I am... clearly, as I'm here doing this AMA, lol... in the hopes that it might help my future career.

I really would like to talk to you further about this, as I feel like its something no one can understand unless they have experienced it.

aHappyPhantom43 karma

Probably not the only person here dying of momentary curiosity that will never be satisfied.

ThomasTulak34 karma

okay... extra cool points for that... well played.

orangejulius139 karma

What was it like working on something as iconic as Cheers?

ThomasTulak281 karma

It always felt so wrong little 7 year old me, haha... since it all took place in a bar... I was one of Carla's kids, I had scenes in the bar... the fact that Carla took her kids to the bar seemed so wrong to me at the time... felt like I was doing something naughty lol ;)

Hello_Mr_Fancypants124 karma

Have you been looking after the never-bugs?

ThomasTulak112 karma

was doing great, till I left Never Land... :p

coryrenton113 karma

Do certain rights (to your image, voice if they use them in toys) revert back to you at a later date? What is the smallest residual check you've gotten and cashed?

ThomasTulak290 karma

As to how the rights break down, I'm not actually sure... like if you buy the Hook bed spread, I'm not sure if I get a piece of that... but, I do still get residual checks, in varying amounts... the smallest check I've gotten was 32 cents. I was a but surprised they actually sent me a check for so little. I didn't cash that one, kept it for the novelty haha.

Spoon7597 karma

What did you and the rest of the cast get upto off camera? Did you torment any of the adults more than others?

ThomasTulak220 karma

hahaha, nice...

actually, the group of Lost Boys was sorta... for lack of a better word... clicky.

Rufio was the oldest at 17, and I was the youngest at 6... the age difference came into play a lot. I hung out with the younger kids... and no, we didn't really make too much trouble. just played gameboy, or went to class or what ever.

though I've heard some crazy stories about the older kids :p

Spoon7593 karma

We need details. You cant leave that one hangin' lol

ThomasTulak254 karma

haha... I wont give a way too many details, cause the story isnt mine to tell... but theres something involving a crashed golf cart, and a certain Lost Boy losing his virginity...

RunningGnome105 karma

Rufio and tinkerbelle eh?

ThomasTulak151 karma

lol, I said not that... no names were mentioned... :p

KISSOLOGY39 karma

Rufio!Rufio!Rufio!

ThomasTulak61 karma

Rufio! Rufio! Rufio!

weedkinz94 karma

Did you ever sense Robin Williams was depressed?

ThomasTulak165 karma

at the time, no... it's only after he passed that I can look back and connect the dots.

leclittoris43 karma

Can you elaborate, please?

ThomasTulak195 karma

well... knowing what I know now... It would make sense that his larger than life persona, and dedication to making every one around him happy, is his self defense mechanism.

Bagofhammers9288 karma

Was Julia Roberts a "bitch" during filming like Spielberg said?

ThomasTulak297 karma

I didnt really get to meet her, myself... but the time she stormed out on set, in the middle of a scene, screaming at Steven cause she hated the green sequin dress they wanted her to wear, would lead me to believe she rightfully earned her nick name, "Tinker-Hell."

rastaspastas50 karma

Was she pretty in person? Did you boys know about Pretty Woman?

ThomasTulak144 karma

the one time I saw her, from across the set, when she was angry and screaming about her green dress, she was just... scary. and I didn't see Pretty Woman till a few years later.

FatKidFromHook85 karma

Did you and the lost boys hang out with Maggie & Jack (Charlie & Amber) or were they left to hang out on their own?

ThomasTulak126 karma

I hung out with Amber a lot. I have pics of her and I together.

Muthafuckaaaaa83 karma

Since you're AMA is still live, what's your favorite sandwich? :D

ThomasTulak189 karma

I love a good Philly cheese steak :)

Iacha81 karma

What was it like going back to school being in a movie?

ThomasTulak213 karma

Oh, it was rough actually... I tended to stand out. I had to constantly tell myself all the kids that bullied me were just jealous. I developed thick skin at an early age. I denied my connection to the movie for a long time, cause I just wanted to fit in with my peers, and to have friends who saw me as more than just "the kid that was in hook"

but eventually I got over all that, and now it's a cherished part of my life.

Guano-79 karma

Worst lost boy? Who did everyone dislike or thought was annoying?

Also how awesome was RUFFIO?

ThomasTulak153 karma

There was one Lost Boy who is only in half the movie because he was fired half way through production for misbehaving. I probly shouldnt say who, but if you watch closely you can probly figure out who...

also, Alex (the kid with red curly hair) cause people keep mistaking me for him! thats not his fault though, lol.

and yes, Rufio was (and still is) way awesome! I was just talking to him about his upcoming Rufio spin off movie. He's going to have all the Lost Boys do cameos in it.

Mafiya_chlenom_K57 karma

BANGARANG! Is that spelled right?

ThomasTulak46 karma

yup :)

Frajer52 karma

what's your favorite Robin Williams memory?

ThomasTulak137 karma

It is kinda awesome that the first two question were about Robin :)

I had the best time hanging out with Robin off set, more than anything that was actually on set...

that, or the time he jumped on the top of the pirate ship and mooned the entire cast and crew, while Steven Spielberg was trying to gain control of the crowd... chaos ensued :P

dreamerkid00162 karma

It makes me simultaneously elated and heart-broken, knowing that my biggest hero was so wonderful, but now he's gone, forever.

ThomasTulak70 karma

you are not alone in that feeling.

kahran48 karma

How were you treated in school after Hook?

ThomasTulak81 karma

differently... being a Lost Boy made me stand out. There's a stereo type about child actors growing up, and it's more or less true.

kahran34 karma

Were you negatively impacted?

ThomasTulak67 karma

It can be pretty lonely and isolating, but in the long run I'm glad I was able to develop thick skin at an early age. Certainly made adult life easier. On the other hand, my taxes and income were miss managed, so... I'd say there are definitely some negative impacts... but also some positive ones.

_tapatiocat45 karma

Did your role in Hook instill a sense of magic in you as an adult or did it wear off as you grew up?

ThomasTulak75 karma

Well, I left Never Land... I shouldn't have done that :p

life outside the Never Tree isn't what I expected...

but, there is still certain things from the set that inspired me, and are still with me. For example, I was in awe watching Mr Spielberg work, and thats why I'm a director now.

Broker5741 karma

Working with Spielberg must have been amazing! Do you have any standout memories of him on set?

ThomasTulak89 karma

time and time again I would just watch him work, see people swarming for his attention, and he always had the answer and always remained calm. He knew what he wanted and how to get it. I remember seeing that and telling my parents I wanted to be a director when I grow up. That stuck with me, and now I am a director.

Hosernaut38 karma

Cake, or Pie?

ThomasTulak63 karma

depends on the kind of cake and pie

Hosernaut29 karma

Generic Vanilla Cake versus Generic Apple Pie.

ThomasTulak66 karma

um... If I HAD to chose between only those... I suppose generic apple pie is less boring than generic vanilla cake, lol... though in that circumstance I'd probly take neither.

OldschoolMcClassic37 karma

Favorite flavor of ice cream?

ThomasTulak70 karma

anything where the ice cream itself is flavored something other than vanilla... as apposed to just vanilla ice cream with stuff in it...

like, if the ice cream itself is cherry, or cotton candy, or animal cracker or something, then I'm down!

Jadzia20036 karma

Whenever I saw Robin Williams doing interviews, there was always this positive attitude about him. His loss really affected all of us.

My question is was he always going out of his way to make people happy while filming?

Also, to have the likes of Williams, Hoffman and Roberts doing this film, was there any life lessons you were able to take away from the experience?

ThomasTulak52 karma

oh totally! Robin was dedicated to making every one around him happy. and he did so in spectacular fashion. he gave and gave of himself.

life lessons? well, I was inspired by Steven to become a director, and I was inspired by Robin to become a comedian. and I was inspired by all the kids that bullied me growing up, because of hook, to have thick skin.

KittehAmaz35 karma

If you're granted the chance to travel back to the past again and be on the set of Hook as a kid, what would you do differently?

ThomasTulak103 karma

woo, good question...

Probly try to stay in touch with Robin over the years... I dunno if I coulda helped ease his depression, and save his life, but I would have wanted to try.

Keown1432 karma

What was Julia Roberts like in person? Do you have many memories of her? Was Bob Hoskins also drunk like Dustin Hoffman? haha

ThomasTulak90 karma

actually, Julia was the only person I did not get to meet. She had a stalker at the time, so her personal security was really tight. pretty much the only people that met her we Robin and Steven...

although, i do have a memory of her... her first day on set they had a green sequin dress for her to wear, that was closer to what tink wore in the disney cartoon. she hated it. she angrily stormed out onto the set, in the middle of filming another scene, wearing the green dress, and demanded Steven redesign the dress. and thus the brown outfit that's seen in the movie was born... she earned the on set nickname, "TinkerHell."

and Bob was pretty cool too, but no, he wasnt drinking on set, lol.

gunzhood28 karma

You're the "Oh there you are Peter" kid right?

ThomasTulak83 karma

no... in that scene I said, "Well, welcome back to Never Land, Pan the Man!"

while trying hard to do a convincing laugh, and failing haha.

gunzhood58 karma

Oh nice dude, I remember exactly who you are. "Pans gots kids?"

ThomasTulak55 karma

yup, thats me! "Goodnight, Never Land!"

Developers-Club28 karma

ThomasTulak64 karma

Developers-Club18 karma

Ok Facebook loads fine now, sorry about that, on iPhone right now, desktop died and daughter watching super girl on laptop :)

Seems like my type of shows but how do you make money from a web show? Don't mean to talk about $ but everyone needs to eat.

Thank you

ThomasTulak36 karma

oh nice, I keep hearing good things about Super Girl, but I havent gotten around to watch it yet.

I'm a youtube partner, on a network, so some of the income will come from ad revenue, some from sponsors, and some from crowd funding.... there are a lot of in's and out's to that... I'm not doing it for the money though. I have a passion for filmmaking, and story telling, and I really want to tell this story. I feel like the time is right for people to not only be receptive to it, but also relate to and appreciate it.

MrsMcLaine3 karma

I had the same problem, but it is working now.

ThomasTulak5 karma

huh... weird... well, I'm glad it's working now.

thanks for checking it out!

What got you into acting in the first place? Was it something you wanted to do as a kid, or something you were just kind of made to do?

ThomasTulak44 karma

I sorta have this thing where, when I see some one doing something, I think I can do it to, and I can do it better... I used to always see movies or shows with kids in it and think I could have played that part better than the person who did.

On a personal level, what are a few of your favorite films?

ThomasTulak42 karma

-side note- I kinda how you prefaced this with "on a personal level" and this question came right after a question asking who molested me, HAHAHA... oh man, lol...

anyway... i love films, making them and watching them, so I could give a long list of my favorites, but off the top of my head: The Social Network, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (2013), Space Balls, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who : the Day Of The Doctor, Sherlock : the Abominable Bride, Back to the Future trilogy... I could go on, lol...

What are you doing, now?

ThomasTulak77 karma

well, right at this moment I'm sitting at my desk, South Park is on my TV, I've got a plate of sushi, and I'm answering questions on Reddit, lol...

but I'm an indie filmmaker now. A short film I directed just screened at a festival during LA LIVE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRxRuLhGaGo

and I'm in preproduction on a web series: https://www.facebook.com/DarkestTimelineShow

HunterGonzo17 karma

Do you (or did you at any point) get tired of always being associated with a movie like Hook? Did it ever become that thing where you just can't stand to have to say "BANGARANG!" one more time? Or was it always such a happy memory for all involved that it kinda never gets old?

ThomasTulak27 karma

oh, I absolutely went through a phase of hiding from it, trying to be noticed for something else, theres a lot of things I do besides that. mostly it was when i was a teenager trying to lead a normal teenager life.

now I have embraced it and wear it with pride. though it can get a little annoying once in a while when some one just quotes the movie to me then disappears. but It's cool though.

If you could have any super power, what would it be?

ThomasTulak29 karma

I feel like mind reading, telepathy, would be the most practical in every day life... either that or telekinesis.

Thoughts on the recent attention brought to pedophilia in Hollywood?

ThomasTulak23 karma

pedophilia in general is such a horrible thing. nothing like that ever happened to me, and I havent seen any attention on it like you're saying, but stuff like that makes me sick.

anghus8 karma

Did the Lost Boys bury Rufio or did they just kick his corpse into the water?

ThomasTulak9 karma

neither... after the battler we went back to get him, and his body was just gone. No one knows what happened...

then years later this is found on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv4RGYZLz0s

Would you rather fight 1 horse sized duck, or 100 duck sized horses?

ThomasTulak11 karma

oh man... i feel like i'd totally be overwhelmed by 100 duck sized horses... but ducks tend to scare easily, I could probly scare away a horse sized duck.

good question!

Disboigr83 karma

What was it like working on the set?

ThomasTulak5 karma

How did that imaginary food taste? It looked really good.

ThomasTulak4 karma

the pieces of food I as able to eat where pretty good... but most of it was covered in pesticides to keep the bugs away, and treated so it stays fresh looking for the entire 3 days it took to film the scene... so much of it was not edible.

kleinerschatz3 karma

Many child actors struggle with addictions. Did you have this struggle?

ThomasTulak9 karma

you're right, I have noticed this trend also... I'm addicted to caffeine, but thats about it. I didn't even start drinking till I was 22, and going through a divorce.
