RIP

Loved Alien. May he RIP

93 is a damn good run

I had no idea he was that old. His filmography shows the dude was still working and amassing acting credits as late as 2025. He had a heck of a career.

That guy was great.

I didn't think he was that old (93) but I look back at when Top Gun came out about 40 years ago the math works out. Always liked the roles he played.

Remember him as Strawberry in Cheech and Chongs first movie?

Now that you mentioned it, yes. We watched that movie about 6 months ago.

Exactly my thought. We all should be so fortunate.

One of my favs. He was a guest star on an early Gunsmoke. ‘60s era and not a kid then.

Yep

I was suprised he was 93 until I remembered I was 62.

A River Runs Through It is one of my all-time favorite movies with Skerritt in it. The closing monologue is stirring.
