Tom Skerritt, a Seattle based actor that played a variety of roles, but whom I know best as Mike Metcalf, the flight instructor commander, whose job it was to tame the seemingly incorrigible Maverick in Top Gun has died.
The Viper character, was tough, but smooth, realizing the tremendous genius, of his fliers, but making sure they had proper discipline,
Skerritt also appeared in movies such as Mash and Alien. He won a Prime Time Emmy in 1993 for playing a sheriff in Picket Fences.
Skerritt was 93.
