He was supposed to be the next big thing. He had some good roles and then things went south. I think he's decent enough. I really enjoyed him in Boogie Nights. So what went wrong??

Was he is suppose to be the next big thing? I agree he is a good actor,but he is mostly been a character actor with a few lead roles here and there so IDK how he could have been the next big thing

He's currently on Syfy's tv series "The Expanse" and he's doing a great job as Det. Joe Miller. He's doing fantastic with the character and I love the show. Having read three of the books in the book series so far he'll be on this for a long while and season 2 should start filming soon. I know he had a TV show before this too so looks like he's finding a better fit in TV.

It is a sad fact that Jane's career crashed and burned. He will never again appear in a big movie. Big directors will never work with him again. His body of work will be forgotten.
Bit of a shame. Liked him in the Cameron Diaz flick. He gave good window dressing. -

This is what he said in a 2011 interview
''Ive done my share of bad movies, but Im done with that. Im only going to do stuff that I personally really love and believe in. and whether it turns out great or not is not going to be my problem. Im just going to be great in the show. Im going to be great in the project. And Im creating my own stuff. Directing, starring and directing, thats my goal and my dream for the second half of my career. Im going to produce, create my own stuff. Im tired of other people beep up my movies.''
The last good movie he was in is I melt with you in 2011, he starded his share of bad movie after saying that. -

This year's Standoff was surprisingly a pretty damn good flick with a solid performance by Jane. I'm a big fan of him as a actor (Love The Punisher, Deep Blue Sea, Thursday, The Mist, and Dreamcatcher) but not only does he have personal demons (self admittedly) but he's picked so many bad projects in recent years that a comeback would be quite hard. Dark Country, which he directed and starred in, was so unbelievably awful as well as that horrible film Vice. Into the Grizzly Maze was forgettable but got a decent amount of expose for an indie film. The Veil looked awful and Drive Hard from what I saw of it, was extremely disappointing.
As much as I like the guy, he seems always severely drunk in interviews, I have the DVDs for Give 'em Hell Malone and Vice and the interviews with him are gut bursting hilarious particularly the interview for Vice. Great actor but sadly poor choices and facts about his past may have severely hurt him but Standoff gave me hope. -

He's doing really great with TV though now and I love his show "The Expanse". It's got such a great cast and Thomas is doing amazing as Joe Miller. I'm really looking forward to season 2 in January and how they keep adapting the books.

I always felt that there was something off about him, in all his performances I couldn't really point my finger, and I don't see it as a criticism to him but for me, he always felt disconnected from his roles and he had a artificial "aura" around him, everytime he was on screen, plastic maybe.
I know I'm using lots of "open words" that has no precise meaning but. I can't really be precise about it. If I really had to I would probably guess that Thomas suffers from depression, and it bleeds into his performances.
