Very sorry to hear that Tom Skerritt has passed away. I think most sci-fi fans will remember him best as Captain Dallas in Alien (my first, and last, X-certificate film, as I think the classifications changed not long afterwards). However, the first time I encountered Tom Skerritt was, perhaps inevitably, in an episode of The Time Tunnel. He played the morally conflicted Matthew Gebhardt, who was part of a plot against Abraham Lincoln in ‘The Death Trap’. R.I.P. #TomSkerritt #TheTimeTunnel
Watching Alien tonight for Tom Skerritt and because it's a damn fine movie. The last 10 years have been brutal on the cast of this film. Only Sigourney Weaver and Veronica Cartwright left
'The actor’s lengthiest TV job was the CBS series “Picket Fences,” which aired from 1992 to 1996. Created by David E. Kelley, “Picket Fences” was set in the small Wisconsin town of Rome and starred Skerritt as Sheriff Jimmy Brock, who works to keep his community in order amid a series of strange and unsettling events.' latimes.com/entertainment-arts… #obituary #ShowBusiness
"Tom Skerritt, the rough-hewn actor who sparkled amid ensembles in M*A*S*H, Alien and Top Gun before starring as small-town sheriff Jimmy Brock on the quirky 1990s series Picket Fences, has died. He was 93." hollywoodreporter.com/movies/m…
Rest in peace, Tom Skerritt. Met him a few times in line at our local Starbucks in Seattle, back in the early 2000s. He was wonderful. And such a great actor!
