He recurred from 2006-09 on ABC’s “Brothers & Sisters” as family patriarch William Walker and guested on “The Good Wife” in 2014 and on “Madam Secretary” in 2015. In Robert Altman’s “MASH” (1970), Skerritt played Duke Forrest, one of the insubordinate but excellent surgeons.

The actor was third billed, after Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould but before Sally Kellerman and Robert Duvall.

The actor also worked for Tony Scott, co-starring in the monumental 1986 hit “Top Gun” as Commander Mike “Viper” Metcalf, chief instructor at Miramar Naval Air Station’s so-called top gun school, where Tom Cruise’s Lieut. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is training.

The Robert Redford-directed 1992 adaptation of Norman Maclean’s much-admired 1976 novella ”A River Runs Through It” afforded Skerritt with a relatively rare opportunity to do some serious acting in a film.

Grant in “Field of Lost Shoes” (2014).

The year after “MASH” he appeared in “Harold and Maude” as a motorcycle cop. He worked with Altman again in 1974’s “Thieves Like Us,” starring Keith Carradine and Shelley Duvall, and also appeared that year
