Lance James Henriksen is an American actor.
Filmography in Terminator franchise[]
Note[]
- He, along with Bill Paxton, are often cited as actors who have played characters that have been killed by a Terminator, an Alien, and a Predator. While all have appeared in those films, Hendricksen was not killed by the Alien, as he played an android who was later damaged and requested to be deactivated after he told the heroine Ripley his account of events.
- When James Cameron was writing the movie The Terminator (1984), he had originally envisioned Henriksen playing the title role. Cameron went so far as to paint a picture of the Terminator using Henriksen's face, and he had the actor dress-up as the character and attend an Orion Pictures production meeting in character. Regardless, the famous role ultimately went to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
