What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
“While the world knew Tom through his remarkable acting career, we knew him for his humor, curiosity, wisdom, generosity, and the love he brought into our lives,” a family statement shared with People read.
Skerritt also received an Emmy for his role in David E Kelley’s family drama Picket Fences, a show that ran for four seasons.
His performance in a Los Angeles theater production of “The Rainmaker” led to his first film role — a supporting role as a sergeant in the 1962 scrappy, $250,000 independent Korean War film “War Hunt.” The movie marked the debuts of Skerritt, Robert Redford, Sydney Pollack and Francis Ford Coppola.
