American actor, Thomas Ellis Gibson, has an estimated net worth of $15 million with salary of $120 thousand per episode of Criminal Minds. This versatile, tall, dark, and handsome celebrity has moved easily between TV stardom and a varied movie career working with some of the industry’s major names. Born on July 3, 1962 in Charleston, South Carolina, Gibson found his calling as a child, making his acting debut at age ten in children’s theater productions. Though he attended the College of Charleston, Gibson relocated when he won a scholarship to New York’s prestigious Juilliard School. After earning his B.F.A., Gibson made his professional New York theater debut in 1985. Gibson spent the rest of the 1980s doing theater, as well as branching out into television with two seasons on the daytime drama Another World and the TV movie Gore Vidal’s Lincoln (1988).
Gibson made the transition to films in style with a co-starring role opposite Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in Ron Howard’s glossy Irish-American epic Far and Away (1992). Gibson subsequently appeared in several television shows and films. Gibson continued to balance Hollywood with outside projects during his hiatuses with a small part in the ill-fated sequel The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, a starring role in Arcand’s celebrity culture satire Stardom, and a supporting turn as the slick surfer Kanaka in the campy ’60s teen-film parody Psycho Beach Party. Gibson is married and has one son.
He is best known for his roles as Daniel Nyland in the Medical drama series Chicago Hope, as Greg Montgomery in the comedy series Dharma & Greg, and as Supervisory Special Agent Aaron “Hotch” Hotchner, the Unit Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) team in the highly-popular CBS drama, Criminal Minds.
