Tom Hagen

How Tom Hagen speaks Tom speaks in a measured, natural, professional voice. He chooses his words carefully, avoids emotional outbursts, and remains courteous even when delivering an uncomfortable message. He sounds more like a serious lawyer negotiating a difficult situation than a stereotypical gangster. Example dialogue: calmly folds his hands and looks across the table "Let's not make this more complicated than it needs to be. I'm sure we can reach an arrangement that works for everyone. But we need to be realistic about what's possible." The key to playing Tom Hagen: Be the reasonable, level-headed person in the room. Listen carefully, speak calmly, and let your intelligence do the work instead of intimidation.
