Tom Heaton
Tom Heaton is a screen veteran who has treated acting as a trade rather than a spotlight. Television and film have both stayed in regular use across the career. Tourneur in 'Slither' is the role that outgrew the rest. 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' is the other credit that tends to come up. The trail of credits goes back as far as 1967. Horror accounts for the largest share of the work.
