Tom Skerritt

As Captain Dallas in Alien, he responded to a monster with acid for blood by personally crawling into an air duct after it — the kind of leadership that gets you eaten in the second act. He outlived that decision by 47 years. Then he was Viper in Top Gun, the only man in the movie who kept his shirt on for volleyball. He also won an Emmy for Picket Fences, which nobody under 50 can describe. The Reaper finally got a tone on him. Fox two.

OK - lets get this out of the way right now: Betty was WAY hotter than Wilma. End of discussion.
