“We’re coping. It’s stage four cancer, it’s not bone cancer like is being reported. It’s what’s called Squamous Cell Carcinoma and it’s a relapse of something he had last year, which unfortunately wasn’t detected until it reached a very advanced stage and the appropriate treatment is going on,” Jamie told.
Tom has worked in several movies, TV shows and theatre in his acting career. He is known mostly for playing the “white man” in films and TV shows.
