He has appeared in soap operas such as "Love of Life" , "Edge of Night", but he is mostly recognized for his Daytime portrayal of Carlo Hesser and Mortimer Bern on the ABC soap opera "One Life to Live'. But before his career on television had even begun Thom had pursued a life on the New York stage, both on and off Broadway.. Some of his television credits include "Kojak", "The Rookies", "Harry-O", "Cannon", "TJ Hooker" and "Murder She Wrote". His film credits include "Space Raiders", "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom", "Butterfly Legend", "Peril", "Bridget" and more. When taking on the role of Hawk in season two of Buck Rogers, Thom did some research for the part by reading books on bird mannerisms, visiting the birds section of the American Museum of Natural History and observing real life hawks in the Central Park zoo. Thom's interests in running, fencing, dancing and playing racket ball contributed to his lean physique and stamina which played out perfectly for the character. As the story goes, Hawk's ancestors originally came from Earth and evolved into these half man half bird type humanoids, he fly's a very impressive ship that is also shaped like a hawk and controls it with an accuracy and degree that surpasses even the most experienced pilot. It was this amazing space craft that we remember so vividly (below)..The ship has claw like landing gear which he can use to grab hold of other unsuspecting craft, it was during one of these operations that he unfortunately looses his wife Koori, played by Barbara Luna.. The lone survivor of his race, Hawk was originally written into only three scripts, however it soon became clear how popular he had become so efforts were made to have Hawk appear in every single episode. In fact Hawk was so popular that it gave rise to the "Thom Christopher Fan Club" in the States and of the Hawk Alliance in England.
