Thomerson entered the world of stand-up comedy in the 1970s. In Los Angeles, he became a regular at the Comedy Store and the Improv and made numerous appearances on television variety shows and in Las Vegas.

One of Thomerson's early acting breaks came from director Robert Altman who, after seeing Thomerson's stand-up act, cast him in the film A Wedding.

In 1986, Thomerson reunited with a few of his Trancers co-stars for the World War II science-fiction film, Zone Troopers; he also appeared in the vampire film, Near Dark, and played a villain opposite Melanie Griffith's heroine in the science-fiction film, Cherry 2000.
