We loved Tom Skerritt as the strict but endearing head of the Fighter Pilot School that is known as Top Gun, a movie that cemented Tom Cruise's rise to fame. After Skerritt played "Viper", he went on to star in films like A River Runs Through It (alongside Brad Pitt) and many others. Over the course of his career, he starred in countless movies ever since he started acting in 1962 and shows no signs of slowing down. The proof? He starred in six different films in his 80's alone!

Skerritt created his own media company named Heyou Media which he founded in 2016. The company shows new media visual entertainment such as virtual reality videos, but is still unknown to many.
Recently the actor has starred in films such as Day of Days, Lucky and East of the Mountains, the latter in which he was 86 years of age. As far as his future film appearances are concerned, Skerritt may well feature in films until his 90's!
