Thomas attended Harlingen High School, but left in 1977 to work in Louisiana’s oil fields; he eventually returned and matriculated in 1979, and afterwards attended the University of North Texas. He started off his career in entertainment by doing voice-over work, and also became a radio personality; he adopted the name Haden Church, both names taken from his ancestry. He moved to California to take a role in an independent film, and eventually decided to fully pursue an acting career. In 1990, he became part of the sitcom “Wings” as the aircraft mechanic Lowell Mather, and would stay with the show until the end of its run in 1995, establishing his net worth.
Afterwards, he became part of “Ned & Stacey” for two seasons in a lead role, working with Debra Messing, and would then appear in a string of films mainly as a supporting character; he was a part of “Tombstone”, “The Specials”, and” George of the Jungle”. He started getting known for either being the comic relief or the villain in the film and continued gaining popularity, with his net worth also increasing. He was cast in “Over the Hedge” and “Demon Knight”, before in 2000 deciding to take a break from acting in films. He eventually returned and had small roles in “3000 Miles to Graceland” and “Monkeybone. Then in 2003, he made his directorial debut in “Rolling Kansas”. Aside from these projects, he continued to do voiceover work, mainly for the commercials of Merrill Lynch and Icehouse.

His net worth started increasing significantly at this point.
Since then, he has been cast in “Idiocracy” and the television production “Broken Trail” – for which he won an Emmy Award – and was also cast as the villain Sandman in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 3”.
