Tom Atkins - Great 80s Character Actors #2

Another character actor who made his mark and earned himself legions of fans(who all think of this guy as the cooles of cool) in the world of film and horror movies. He is....

Tom Atkins






Some of Tom's most notable 80s film appearances are -


The Fog(1980)



Escape From New York(1981)



Halloween III : Season Of The Witch(1982)



Night Of The Creeps(1986)



Lethal Weapon(1987)



Tom's cult status also applies to Creepshow(1982) and Maniac Cop(1988). His 80s TV appearances include "St. Elsewhere", "T.J. Hooker", "The Fall Guy", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", Stingray", "The Equalizer", and "Spenser:For Hire".

Tom has had a resurgence of late, appearing in the 2009 movie "My Bloody Valentine 3D", and the upcoming Nicolas Cage movie, "Drive Angry".

He's just cool. He came to a horror convention not long ago and he was completely unaware of the huge cult following he had. He's like a hero to cult/horror fans. He's done a number of things in connection with John Carpenter.

Everybody should know the next one I do. Lol.
