Falling Skies Trivia Questions

Tom and his three sons, Hal (16), Ben (14), and Matt (9), are among the major recurring characters.

In this episode, after Karen tricks Ben in "Homecoming", Tom and his fighters find Ben and end up capturing an Overlord. Also, a new type of aliens are introduced, spider-like creatures that scare Anne Lourdes and Matt in the basement, and kill Jameel. After some turmoil between fighters and mechs outside of the hospital, Tom convinces Karen to let them leave in peace in exchange for the Overload. The Second Mass then hits the road for Charleston.

4. What former actor on the hit TV show "ER" plays the lead character, Tom Mason?

Answer: Noah Wyle

Noah Wyle played Dr John Carter on "ER", one of the most consistently sympathetic characters on that show. On "Falling Skies" his character, Tom Mason, was a history professor at Boston University before the invasion and has a vast knowledge of military campaigns and tactics. Passionately devoted to his three sons, his character is in deliberate contrast to the gruff no-nonsense approach of Captain Weaver.
