 Tom's hobbies include singing and playing the piano, and he once dreamt of becoming a successful recording artist, he also sang a full version of Usher's song "Burn" and did a spoof of the music video, but was later made more realistic when it was interrupted by a moving car, as well as Sarah asking him if he was doing that "Music Video thing" again.He also played basketball on his Ivy League college team at Princeton University but, as Sarah points out, he was mostly a bench warmer.He is depicted as somewhat of a goober and a wet blanket in social situations, since he seems unable to truly lighten up.
