My understanding, based on reading information off of the Tom Atkins Online fansite is that he's married and has a son living in Pennsylvania.
Aside from that, even if he is gay, that's his business. That has NO affect on his acting or his legacy as a genuinely fine actor.
I'm so pleased to read that there are others like me who genuinely appreciate this man. Tom Atkins is the Man! -

Well, the "longtime companion" referred to is someone called David Lewell. How many chicks do you know called David??!
I'd be well taken aback if he turned out to be gay. He looks and comes across as the most un-gay fella ever! -

Tom Atkins is gay. In interviews with James Garner, Garner has talked about Tom Atkins bringing his male lovers on the set of the Rockford Files many times. I guess technically Atkins is bi-sexual. He is open about his sexuality, I guess people are just scared to bring it up.

I just read an article online that highlighted a few films from his career. The writer of the article made a slight mention of Tom's homosexuality. To me, that article as well as others which discuss Atkin's sexuality, settles it. He is gay. End of mystery, period.
However, as I wrote previously in this thread a little more than a year ago, it doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with his ability to act and give a great performance in whatever film, television show or play he may appear in.
Tom Atkins is the man! He's a great actor and a fine human being. Thanks for all the great performances over the years, Tom. Your fans appreciate it!
If it's useless information, chances are I already know it! -

Tom Atkins is not gay! If you have a link to prove it then post it. A regular fetus uses androgens to develop male organs, but Atkins' organs were already developed because he is all man!
You're all idiot.

Indeed - if you check the talk page of the Wikipedia article it seems all this "life companion" business is rubbish (unless someone can provide a reliable source) but some people seem very insistent on trying to get this information into places like Wikipedia and IMDB. It seems he is a persistent target of internet rumours and vandals, which is all a bit sad.

If he is gay that's surprising, but it isn't unheard of. Most of the older gay guys I know have a look that reminds me of Tom circa 83. Tom Atkins is obviously above average looks wise, but I refer to the types (Everyman types) he has played in a lot of the genre films I remember him from
