Tom Hulce Net Worth $15 Million
Tom Hulce was raised with three older siblings in Plymouth, Michigan by his father, Raymond Albert Hulce, who worked at the Ford Motor Company, and his mother, Joanna, who was known for briefly singing with Phil Spitalny’s All-Girl Orchestra. He went to Interlochen Arts Academy and was a student at the North Carolina School of the Arts.
Tom’s professional acting career began on the stage in 1975, when he made his debut appearance on Broadway in the play “Equus”, starring alongside Anthony Perkins, which marked the beginning of his net worth. During the same year, he guest-starred in the TV series “Great Performances”, which was followed by other guest-starring roles in “The American Parade” and “The Adams Chronicles”, both in 1976. In the following year, he made his debut film appearance in the role of Hanley in “September 30, 1955”, after which he was selected to play Lawrence ‘Pinto’ Kroger in the film “Animal House” (1978), directed by John Landis.
Tom’s next major role came in 1984, when he was selected to portray Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Milos Forman’s film “Amadeus”, which earned him David di Donatello for Best Foreign Actor award and nominations for an Academy Award for Best Actor and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. During the 1980s, Tom also starred in the role of Jonathan in the film “Echo Park” (1985), playing C.C. Drood in the 1987 film “Slam Dance”, portraying Larry in a film entitled “Parenthood” (1989), and as Michael Schwerner in the TV film “Murder In Mississippi” (1990), all of which added a considerable amount to his net worth.
In 1991, Tom was cast as Ivan Sanshin in the film “The Inner Circle”, directed by Andrei Konchalovsky. Three years later, he appeared in the role of Henry Clerval in “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein”, starring alongside Robert De Niro. In 1995, he landed the role of Antoine de Saint Exupéry in a film entitled “Wings Of Courage”, and he starred as Peter Patrone in the film “The Heidi Chronicles”, for which he won Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. In the following year, he provided his voice to Quasimodo in the animated film “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame”. All of these appearances increased his net worth by a large margin.

Speaking about his career as a producer, Tom is known for three major projects. He produced the six-hour play “The Cider House Rules”, based on John Irving’s novel, and another play entitled “Talking Heads”, which earned him six Obie Awards, an Outer Critics Circle Award, a Drama Desk Award, and a New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Foreign Play. Furthermore, he also produced the Broadway play “Spring Awakening”, for which he won eight Tony Awards in 2007, and he made the stage adaptation of the Green Day studio album “American Idiot” at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009.

Quote

[on working with F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus (1984)] Here's the thing about Murray: he's not just a superb actor, he's a superb acting partner. Actor to actor, there was not a moment he was not with me.

[2008 interview with the 'Seattle Gay News', refuting the false rumors that he had ever been married to a woman and/or had a child with her] That information--having a wife and child--is false. In the world of the internet, there are many falsehoods. Anyone can write stuff on Wikipedia and it doesn't have to be true. I'm comfortable being among the lists [of gay actors] although I stopped acting about 10 years ago.

For many years, there have been erroneous reports circulating that Hulce was married to an artist named Cecilia Ermini and that they had one child, a daughter named Anya. This is a complete fabrication, with absolutely no basis in reality, according to Hulce himself in an October 3, 2008 interview he gave to the Seattle Gay News.
