US actor Tom Skerritt, who starred in the TV series Picket Fences and the films Alien and Top Gun, has died aged 93, his family says.
Skerritt died on Wednesday of natural causes, his family said: “While the world knew Tom through his remarkable acting career, we knew him for his humour, curiosity, wisdom, generosity, and the love he brought into our lives.”
In a six-decade career, he took on film and TV roles, appearing in the film Mash, A River Runs Through It and Ted. He also co-founded TheFilmSchool in Seattle to support next-generation filmmakers and storytellers.
