However, he spent most of the next decade in television, regularly appearing in "Combat!" (1962)", "Virginian, The" (1962)", "Gunsmoke" (1955)" and "Twelve O'Clock High" (1964)". Skerritt's next big break was appearing alongside Donald Sutherland and Elliott 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 Marine 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 utilizing his mature, weather-beaten features. Skerritt didn't neglect his TV background and reappeared on the small screen in "Cheers" (1982)", "China Lake Murders, The (1990) (TV)" and picked up an Emmy in 1994 for his performance as Sheriff Brock in the superb series "Picket Fences" (1992)".
Skerritt has remained continually busy for the past decade, contributing natural, entertaining and reliable performances in TV series, made-for-TV movies and major theatrical releases. He recreated the role of Will Kane in the TV production of "High Noon (2000) (TV)", and appeared alongside Bruce Willis in the mercenary war drama "Tears of the Sun (2003)". hide |

| Revolving around Truvy's Beauty Parlor in a small parish in modern-day Louisiana, STEEL MAGNOLIAS is the story of a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together there. As the picture opens, we find Drum Eatenton shooting birds in the trees of his back yard in preparation for his daughter's wedding reception that afternoon. Shortly thereafter, M'Lynn and Shelby (Drum's wife and daughter) depart for Truvy's to get their hair done for the wedding. "Just the sweetest thing," Annelle Depuy Desoto (who may or may not be married because her marriage may not be legal) is introduced to Truvy's customers as her new "glamour technician." While in the chairs, the sour-tempered Ouiser Boudreaux shows up and entertains the assemblage with her barbs. It seems that the only one of the group who truly understands Ouiser is Clairee who is recently widowed and looking for a diversion. As she says, later in the picture, "If you can't find anything good to say about anybody, come sit by me." Filled with humor and heartbreak, these "Steel Magnolias" make us laugh and cry as the realities of their lives in tiny Chiquapin Parish unfolds. Search keywords
