This guy frickin rocks. I've seen him in alot of movies and he kicks ass in all of them. Especially Night Of The Creeps. HAHA, one of my favs. I did not like Halloween 3 too much but Tom was awesome in that movie. Especially the last 5 minutes. Him screaming into the phone is awesome. This guy rocks. Keep acting, you ROCK!!!!

Tom's great. I think the first movie that I ever noticed him in is "Lethal Weapon". He was great as Michael Hunsacker. The rapport was good between he and Danny Glover. Of course, he has great rapport with all of his co-stars.
I've recently been getting caught up on his movies. I saw "The Fog" a few weeks ago and it rocked. It scared me to death! I liked it so much that I bought the DVD from Blockbuster rather than returning it.
I then saw "Halloween III: Season Of The Witch". I last saw it when I was a kid, about 12. I decided to watch it again. It wasn't as bad as I remembered it being. Tom was great as Dr. Daniel Challis. I loved it when he screamed, "STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!" at the end of the film.
I would like to see, "Night Of The Creeps" and "Manic Cop". I've heard that those are two of his best roles. I can't find them at the video store.
Anyway, Tom, you are slowly becoming one of my all-time favorites. I hope I get a chance to meet you one day. You're awesome. God bless you, man.

I concur. Tom Atkins is a very fine and wonderfully engaging actor. He's especially excellent in "The Fog," "Halloween III: Season of the Witch," "Night of the Creeps," "Lethal Weapon," and "Maniac Cop." He was also very good as the mayor in a couple of episodes of the cable TV prison series "Oz."
