AGED TERRIBLY after Terminator 2


I mean, he was in X-Files in the late 1990s, and that was only a few years later, but he looked so TERRIBLY OLD at that point!

WTF happened?

reply

X-Files was early 2000s, a decade after T2.
He looked OK.

I don’t know… Some Gents (and Ladies ) just age pretty naturally. He’s about 63 years old now and I don’t think he looks terribly aged for it, I think he looks pretty normal for his age. I admire actors that don’t go ‘under the knife’ every year to grasp at looking 35 forever.
And he sure does keep busy, this guy is a worker!

I really like and respect a lot of his work.

reply

Last thing I saw him in was Scorpion four years ago and he seems to be aging fine. keeping himself really well and fit.

reply

I dunno, but he did seem to age quickly - I'm surprised he's only 63 to be honest.

reply

He looked noticeably more "mature" in the face to me at the time but seeing his X files era pictures now, he looks WAY closer to his T2 self than he does now where he barely looks like the same guy. To be fair though, he's now twice the age he was in T2

All that gambling has taken a toll on him.

reply

Judging by his raspy voice and rugged complexion, he's a smoker/drinker. He also looked like a bit of a sun worshipper during his X-Files run. As you get into middle age, you can't get away with the risky behaviour you enjoyed in your teens and 20s.

reply

T2 shot him to instant fame, and he became a alcoholic. He has beaten that demon, and from what I heard is living a clean life now.

reply

He looks his age. Just has a longer head.
