Tom Jeter is a fictional character on the American television series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, played by Nate Corddry.
[edit] Personal history
Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, Tom Jeter is one of the "Big Three" cast members of "Studio 60". While his comedic skills and gifts for character parody are acknowledged, he is self-critical and constantly looks on the Internet at critics' appraisals. He can often be seen sleeping in the studio, sometimes in full costume.
Tom has a strained relationship with his father and at times becomes frustrated by his parents' lack of understanding of his work. His younger brother, Staff Sergeant Mark Jeter, is serving his third tour in the war in Afghanistan with the 820th RED HORSE, a mobile unit who repairs and builds emergency schools and hospitals in a very short period of time.
In "Nevada Day Part I", Tom says that he has a pet basset hound named Roscoe.
