He is a member of a film-scoring dynasty in Hollywood that includes his father Alfred, brother David Newman, sister Maria Newman, uncles Lionel Newman and Emil Newman, cousin Randy Newman (also known as a singer and songwriter), and his first cousin, once removed, Joey Newman.

At first, Newman was more interested in musical theater than in film composition, working with Sondheim in Broadway plays. Lionel, who succeeded Alfred as music director for 20th Century Fox, gave Thomas his first scoring assignment on a 1979 episode of the series The Paper Chase. In 1983, John Williams, who was a friend of both Alfred and Lionel, invited Newman to work on Return of the Jedi, orchestrating the scene where Darth Vader dies. Afterwards Newman met in New York producer Scott Rudin, who invited him to compose the score for Reckless (1984). Newman said that he thought “it was a tough job, at first” for requiring him to “develop vocabularies and a sense of procedure”, only getting comfortable with writing scores “and not fraudulent in my efforts” after 8 years.

His critical and commercial success continued in the years to follow with his scores for films such as Steven Soderbergh’s Erin Brockovich, and Todd Field’s In the Bedroom. He was nominated consecutively for a further three Academy Awards, for Sam Mendes’ Road to Perdition (2002), Andrew Stanton’s Finding Nemo (2003), and Brad Silberling’s Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004).
