Tommy welcomed Austin on Nov. 9, 1982, and raised him in his home state of Texas. Austin has followed in his dad’s footsteps and made his mark in the entertainment industry as both an actor and a composer.

Set in the Midwest during 1855, just a year after the Nebraska Territory was established, the 2014 Western film traces the journey from Nebraska to a town in Iowa. According to Tommy, his son “went through the archives of 19th-century music that would have been expected in that part of the world.”

“He found some important and rare songs for us,” Tommy added.

Austin also makes his own music — he has released a number of albums, includingDead Calmin 2022 under the record label Perpetual DoomandAt the Polo Clubin 2023 with the same label. The musician also has tour dates across the U.S. in 2024 listedon his website.

Tommy and Cloughley welcomed Victoria nearly 10 years after her brother on Sept. 3, 1991. She followed in her father’s footsteps from a young age, even appearing in a movie before she was a teenager.

He went on to recall having to fire Victoria one time on the set ofThe Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada: “She had to get up at 5 a.m. for her part. One morning, she wouldn’t get out of bed. I said, ‘Honey, this is work.’ But she wouldn’t budge. So I fired her. Then, without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her and rushed her out to the set just in time.”
