Harrison Ford is always Harrison Ford to me if that makes any sense. He's more of a star than an actor. Sure he can act, and he's incredibly charismatic, but he has such a John Wayne-type on-screen presence that he's always Harrison Ford on screen to me, rather than the character he's playing.

Skerrit was amazing. Ford would've been doing his Ford smirk the whole time and eating at the tension.
I know what you mean, but I think Ford has somewhat more range than that. Just off the top of my head: Presumed Innocent, The Fugitive and Witness all showcased that he can do more than just smirk like Han Solo and Indiana Jones.
Or if you want something a little closer to when Alien was produced, just look at his brief performance in Apocalypse Now. Of course, none of that means he would have been better as Dallas than Tom Skerritt was. I think the role was better suited for an older man anyway.

On the other hand, I've never seen Skerritt point his finger quite like Ford can.

^ It makes sense.
I wonder how a 1979 Christopher Lloyd would've been as Ashe.
