American actor Tom Skerritt has lent his support to Tourism Ireland and Steller's A Digital Day in the Life of Ireland campaign, which aims to highlight 'the best of Ireland' using the travel storytelling app.

The M*A*S*H star and his family are set to film themselves as they 'explore their Irish roots' over 24 hours, which will then be uploaded to the Steller app, and Skerritt said 'One of the 12 tribes of Galway was the Skerrit clan, so I am thrilled to seek my roots and report the stories of my own lineage using the Steller mobile app'.
