Thomas Mikal Ford (born June 15, 1962 in Yonkers, New York, he's also known/credited as Tommy Ford) is an American actor who is best known for his character Tommy in the sitcom Martin. Most of the time, Tommy was the straight man for Martin Lawrence's jokes, often inserting logic and witty comments in odd situations. He also played a key role in The Parkers as Nikki's ex-husband and Kim's father in a string of episodes.
He has done uncanny impersonations of stereotypical African-American preachers in the series as well. He was also portrayed as unemployed in the often recurring line coined by Martin: You ain't got no job!
