Thomas "Tom" Keating

Tom Keating is a one scene character in the 1992 film School Ties. His only appearance in the film is during the post game dinner/dance at the country club.

Keating is an "Old Guard" alumni of St. Matthew's, and appears to be one of the donors who finances David Greene's scholarship in order to secure a football victory over St. Luke's. He is a good friend of the Dillons and the Wheelers. Keating also seems to have a penchant for scotch, as shown by his buzzed manner of speaking. He congratulates both David Greene for his victory and Grayson Dillon III for having gotten into the St. Matt's Hall of Fame.

Keating, along with Cal Reynolds, inadvertantly reveals to Charlie Dillon that David Green is Jewish, probably because the two of them had already had a few drinks.
