Did You Know Tom Sandoval is Also an Actor? See His 5 Biggest Roles
The controversial reality star also dabbles in acting, with questionable results.
Original cast member of Bravo's Vanderpump Rules and playboy Tom Sandoval was quite popular with fans until this year when his on-set affair with Raquel Leviss became public, costing him the respect he had earned during his two-decade career. Despite being a reality TV star, Tom has pursued acting almost since the beginning of his career, often appearing in films of dubious quality and rarely signing on for anything worthwhile.
Here are Tom Sandoval's five biggest roles:
Bon Jovi: All About Lovin' You (2003)
The video for Bon Jovi's famous single is actually quite ironic, as the premise of a lover jumping off a skyscraper in a bid to convince his girlfriend he is committing suicide, only to unfurl a parachute with the words, 'Will you marry me?' written on it, is both ridiculous and heartbreaking.
And you won't be able to watch this video in the same way again because Tom Sandoval actually plays the young lover jumping off the building and is almost unrecognisable without his moustache.
Alien Presence (2009)
This straight-to-DVD film is considered interesting for one reason: its sheer awfulness, with the acting, directing, script, and special effects all competing to be the most abysmal. It's no wonder Sandoval decided to participate in it, landing a supporting role as a guy named Doug. And yes, Sandoval's performance is quite abysmal too.
The Pit and the Pendulum (2009)
This 'sexy' horror film about a group of students enrolled in an experiment to eliminate the human sense of pain may sound intriguing on paper, but in reality, it resembles a poorly executed school play with a minuscule budget.
Sandoval plays the supporting role of one of the students, delivering a performance that barely leaves an impression.
Behind Your Eyes (2011)
While some straight-to-DVD movies are worth watching due to their subversion of expectations, Behind Your Eyes is not one of them. The story of a perfect couple (with Sandoval as the loving husband) being kidnapped by thugs reeks of banality, making the entire movie feel like a tired rerun.
The Other Two (2019 –)
It's said that the only time Sandoval truly made an impression with his acting was in this HBO comedy when he played himself in a cameo. It was refreshing to see Sandoval open to self-mockery, and fans hoped the star would stick to cameos in the future instead of supporting roles in questionable films.
