Thomas Duane "Tom" Arnold (born March 6, 1959) is an American actor and comedian. He has appeared in many films and starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies (1994). He was the host of The Best Damn Sports Show Period for four years.
Arnold was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, the son of Linda Kay (née Graham) and Jack Arnold. He has six siblings: Lori, Johnny, Scott, Chris, Marla, and Mark. His mother left the family when he was a child, so he and his siblings were raised by their father. During his youth, he worked at a meatpacking plant. Arnold attended Ottumwa High School, Indian Hills Community College, and the University of Iowa (from 1981 to 1983), where he studied business administration and writing. He began doing stand-up comedy when he was 23.
In the early 1980s, Arnold had a prop-based comedy routine called "Tom Arnold and the Goldfish Review."Roseanne Barr brought him in as a writer for her television sitcom, Roseanne. He married her in 1990, after she divorced her first husband. Arnold wrote himself into the show as the character "Arnie Thomas" (a play on his name). The couple's marriage attracted media and especially tabloid attention due to their sometimes outrageous behavior. In 1992, Arnold starred in his own sitcom, The Jackie Thomas Show. Airing after Roseanne on ABC, the show lasted only 18 episodes.

Plot: Pretty blond Clara Arnold works for a newspaper in picturesque Lüneburg, just outside Hamburg in northern Germany. Being single, she firmly believes that some day she will meet the man of her dreams. She shares her flat with her rather chaotic sister Meike, chronically broke, who is trying to fix her up with Leonard, a good-looking and successful young man, who has been pursuing Clara for quite some time. But then Clara picks up the wrong pictures at the photo shop and falls head over heels in love with the handsome stranger on the pictures. It is Ben Ivaldi, a furniture designer - but it takes Clara some time and several approaches to get to know him. Further complications arise when Clara's boss, a rather unpleasant lady from the big city, also falls for Ben, and Ben's former girlfriend Lena, who dumped him for a job in Italy, returns to claim him back.
