Tom Tyler: A well-dressed man

Tom Tyler is one of those actors who looks great in just about anything he wears. While the suit – and suit style – is considered to be “what makes the man”, and Tom has worn suits in a number of film roles like “The Last Outlaw”, “King of Alcatraz”, “The Talk of the Town”, even “The Phantom” - he also looks just as great in jeans and a western-style shirt. The latter was his usual form of dress in his many B-westerns in which he starred, complete with the boots and cowboy hat, and sometimes with the scarf to top off the look. Most importantly, his one really spectacular look was when Tom donned leotards for the roles of Captain Marvel and The Phantom, which required him to be in top physical shape for these two famous film serials. What is really amazing about Tom's two superheroes is that he was 38 and 40 years old, respectively, when he brought these popular comic-book figures to life on the silver screen. Now that requires looking really good, physically speaking.

Finally, Tom could look just as fabulous wearing his standard weightlifting clothes, with his gym shorts and sturdy shoes, or swimming trunks, for that matter. Lastly – when Tom first arrived in Hollywood as Vincent Markowski, one of the jobs he would take was as art model – a job that usually requires shucking off clothes and posing in the nude. As a young man with the perfect male body, and a very handsome face to match, it is not hard to imagine Tom Tyler as an art model. It can be said, Tom Tyler was a man who was always well-dressed, no matter what he wore, for he was a man with style, and carried it off very well.
