Privat:
Lean, ruggedly handsome leading man & supporting actor whose "outdoor"
looks have improved with age. Skerritt attended Wayne State
University & UCLA, and was first noticed in a UCLA production
of "The Rainmaker" before making his movie debut in War Hunt
(1962). However, he spent most of the next decade in
television regularly appearing in "Combat!" (1962), "The
Virginian" (1962), "Gunsmoke" (1955) and "Twelve O'Clock High"
(1964). Skerritt's next big break was appearing alongside
Donald Sutherland and 'Elliot Gould' in Robert Altman's biting
satire MASH (1970). Several other film roles quickly followed,
before he landed the plum role of Capt. Dallas of the
ill-fated commercial towing vehicle Nostromo in the creepy,
sci-fi epic Alien (1979).
Skerritt turned up again in another thriller playing a cop
hunting a serial killer in the eerie The Dead Zone (1983), as
a USMC fighter pilot instructor in Top Gun (1986) , in the six
chick flick Steel Magnolias (1989).....and then as the poster
boy for a "Guess" Jeans ad campaign utilising his mature,
weather beaten features. Additionally, Skerritt didn't neglect
his TV background and reappeared on the small screen in "Cheers"
(1982), The China Lake Murders (1990) (TV) and picked up an
Emmy in 1994 for his performance as Sheriff Brock in the
superb series "Picket Fences" (1992).
Talented actor / director Tom Skerritt has remained
continually busy for the past decade contributing naturally
entertaining & reliable performances in TV series, made for TV
movies, and major theatrical releases. As of recent, he
recreated the role of Will Kane in the TV production of High
Noon (2000) (TV), plus he appeared alongside Bruce Willis in
the mercenary war drama Tears of the Sun (2003). |
