What else has Tom Pelphrey starred in?

Pelphrey’s first major role was in the soap opera Guiding Light which he starred in as Jonathan Randall for six years from 2003.

It was after his stint in Ozark that Pelphrey featured in Love and Death, A Man in Full and Outer Range.

Who is Tom Pelphrey’s partner?

The 43-year-old is engaged to none other than Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco after their shared manager set them up.

She told Extra that it was “absolutely love at first sight” when she first met him on the set of Ozark.

The pair welcomed their daughter Matilda in March 2023 and announced their engagement the following year.

Pelphrey shared that they would be interested in working on something together if it was the “right thing”.

He told People: "Kaley tends to live more comedically, whereas, you know, often people don't let me within 10 feet of a comedy.

"I have so much respect for her and admiration, but I know enough — I know myself well enough — to know I could never work like she does. “Likewise, sometimes she sees me work intensely and she's like, 'What are you doing?!'
