Thomas Rimmer was born on the 6th of September 1980 in Reading, England to New Zealand parents, who he came over to New Zealand with when he was a baby.
Rimmer spent his childhood and teenage years in the city of Tauranga, located in the North Island of New Zealand.
It was from an early age that Rimmer discovered he had an interest and skill in entertainment, but it wasn't until his early teens, with the influence of Jim Carrey, that made Rimmer want to persue acting as a career.
He began performing in school productions and began his involvment with theatre workshops, drama classes, film and television classes and the National Youth Drama School in 1999.
In 2000, Rimmer moved to New Zealand's capital, Wellington, to persue acting.
Since 2001, Rimmer has appaeared in many plays in Wellington, as well as working in film and television and street theatre. He also worked on Peter Jackson's King Kong.
Thomas Rimmer continues to perform in Wellington, even if rather low key.
