During his career he worked on four films in the Bond series, as well as with directors such as Steven Spielberg , Oliver Stone and Richard Attenborough . He worked on three films for Blake Edwards , including Victor / Victoria .

1982 he was responsible for Irvin Kershners science fiction film The Empire Strikes Back with Norman Reynolds , Leslie Dilley , Harry Lange and Michael D. Ford for the Oscar in the category Best Art Direction nominated, but the award went this year to the Drama Tess .

Tomkins was comparatively little active in television. For his achievements, he was nominated three times for the Primetime Emmy between 1996 and 2002 , which he won in 1996 for the miniseries Gulliver's Travels .
