Tom Skerritt

Thomas Roy Skerritt (born 25 August 1933 in Detroit, Michigan, USA; died 21 October 2026 in Seattle, Washington, USA) was an American actor who appeared in over 40 films and more than 200 television episodes since 1962. He was known for his film roles in M*A*S*H (1970), Alien (1979), The Dead Zone (1983), Top Gun (1986), Spacecamp (1986), Poltergeist III (1988), The Rookie (1990), Knight Moves (1992), and Contact (1997).

The Top Gun photo below was signed by Tom in November 2021 when he made an appearance at London Film & Comic Con. I pre-ordered it from the Showmasters send-in service. I won the Alien photo at the silent auction at Film & Comic Con Glasgow in August 2017. I believe Tom signed it at LFFC the month before.
