ABOUT Tom Alter

Thomas Beach Alter: A Life in Theatre and Cinema Thomas Beach Alter (June 22, 1950 - September 29, 2017) was a prominent figure in Indian theatre and Hindi cinema. His career spanned several decades, marked by a significant contribution to both mediums. While specific details on his recent achievements before his passing in 2017 are limited in readily available sources, his legacy rests firmly on his substantial body of work. Alter's filmography, though not extensively documented in easily accessible online resources, undoubtedly contributed to the landscape of Hindi cinema. He earned recognition for his acting prowess, culminating in the prestigious Padma Shri award bestowed by the Government of India in 2008. This national honour underscores his significant contribution to Indian arts and culture. Further details on his later career years and specific film roles require more in-depth research into archival materials and less readily available sources. However, the Padma Shri serves as a testament to his lasting impact on Indian cinema and theatre. His iconic roles, while requiring further investigation for precise titles and descriptions, undoubtedly resonated with audiences, solidifying his position as a respected figure in the Indian performing arts.
