Old Tom is a pirate in Muppet Treasure Island. He has a long, uncut beard and wears glasses. He has a background role, but is seen hugging Angel Marie when the pirates discover Flint's treasure. He is defeated when Sweetums throws a log at him.
He also played a member of the Flying Monkeys motorcycle gang in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, where he was performed by Allan Trautman. Old Tom later appeared in a Haunted Holidays sketch played by Steve Whitmire.
