Not at ALL. That would be Christian Slater.

Michael is the big version of Lance Hendrickson.

Cause he's ugly. Seriously.

reply

[–] Ticketsplease (4024) 3 years ago

Not ugly just a bad guy look.

He can play a bad guy, but I'd say his voice is his best quality. Who has a cooler voice?

reply

[–] Ticketsplease (4024) 3 years ago

Except when he says about with a Canadian accent.

[–] TandyMan (11120) 3 years ago

Michael Wincott. (Bad guy from The Crow).

Why isn't Michael Biehn more famous? We will never know these things.

Definitely Ironside had an amazing screen presence, and his voice is so distinctive

Why isn't Michael Biehn more famous? We will never know these things.

That's an easy one to answer, Biehn had a substance abuse problem, which railroaded his career as a leading man, unfortunately:

Why the fuck did Michael Biehn come into this conversation? Are we just ignoring family names now?

This site sucks.

For a guy playing bad guys, I think his career has been ok.

I think he's pretty famous! He's been in a lot of movies. But he's better known for voice. I always remember him as Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell games.

I think he's in demand by filmmakers but not a megastar. Probably a nice place to be. I hardly recognised him in Nobody (2021) but glad he's still busy.

Who is he?

Your momma, I bet yo din't know that, huh? well now you know. That will teach you to be humble, you never know when you are going to learn something you dint know and would put your entire world in shambles.

Now go to the world and be a decent man

always remember him being in V - Ham Tyler and Total Recall...

reply

[–] Phids (776) 10 months ago

Wow - I forgot he was Ham in V. Still remember that character.

reply

[–] Ripkens25 (2035) 10 months ago

Can’t believe he was only around 32 in V and Top Gun.

He’s probably similar to Wilfred Brimley…looked older at a young age, and just stayed that way.
