An extremely rare and sought-after cast photo by science fiction film collectors, given the film's historical importance in the history of the horror-sci-fi genre.

Excellent condition, vintage print in good state of preservation.

The Actor: Tom Skerritt

Tom Skerritt (Detroit, August 25, 1933) is an American actor with a career spanning over sixty years in film and television. In 1979, he played Captain Dallas in Ridley Scott's Alien, the film that redefined the horror science fiction genre and launched the saga with Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley. Before Alien, Skerritt had already established himself with films such as Robert Altman's M*A*S*H, while in subsequent years, his career continued with Top Gun, where he played instructor Viper, and with the famous television series Picket Fences, which earned him an Emmy Award. A solid and enduring artistic journey, of which Alien remains one of the most iconic and beloved chapters by international audiences.

What is an original autographed photograph?

A signed original photograph is a unique piece where the actor's signature has been affixed directly to the print under certified presence, without intermediaries. It is distinguished from printed reproductions or facsimiles by verifiable elements with the naked eye: the uneven pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the photographic paper, the naturalness of the graphic gesture. A vintage official cast photo like this, linked to a cult film in cinema history, combines the value of the autograph with the historical and collectible value of the image itself, making it a particularly rare piece to find.
