Tom Alter is fighting cancer
Veteran theatre and film personality Tom Alter, 67, is battling stage four skin cancer at a Mumbai hospital, his son said on Monday.
Upset over “factually incorrect” stories about his father suffering stage four bone cancer, Jamie shared, “It is what is called a squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer). It is a relapse of the same thing which had happened last year and unfortunately, for various reasons, it was not detected at that time and has come back.”
last year, Tom Alter had to get his thumb amputated due to the condition. Alter has been admitted for a week in Mumbai's Saifee Hospital.
I think (that Hollywood has good roles for senior actors). It is a good thing because the more senior you get, ideally speaking, the finer you become as a craftsman. So, hopefully they continue to write roles for us and hopefully I will continue to get some of them. The whole paradigm is changing and there is room for everything.’
