I miss that guy. Looking over his filmography, he really was in some interesting movies. Even after he achieved some degree of mainstream fame and success, he continue to appear in really weird, offbeat films like "The Dark Backward" and "The Vagrant."
Of course, he started his career in horror with "Night Warning" (according to his filmography; I honestly don't remember him in it, but it's been over a decade since I last saw it) and "Mortuary." Then he appeared in a bit part in a little known movie falling "The Terminator" and would end up again working with some dude named James Cameron a few more times. I love his wimpy role in "True Lies."
Then of course he's an utter badass in "Near Dark." A role any horror fan is well familiar with. By the mid 90s he was in a lot of major Hollywood blockbusters but still took the time to star in Sam Raimi's awesome "A Simple Plan."
I dunno. He just seems to have had a hell of a career and I really think he had some serious acting chops when you think about the wildly different characters he would portray.
What do you think? Do you like him as an actor? Favorite movie or role of his?

What I liked about this dude is that he was killed by a terminator, a xenomorph, AND a predator, just like Lance Henriksen. He also did an episode of Tales from the Crypt where his brother was played by Brad Dourif. I also remember him in that movie 'Braindead' he did with the other Bill (Pullman).
Navy Seals gets made fun of a lot, such as in Clerks, but I liked that movie enough. A lot of people like "Tombstone" too, which also had Michael Biehn in it.
I think "True Lies" is my favorite. He's naval lint! (Naval seals?) He has to lie to women to get laid! It's pathetic! And at the end, he still hasn't learned his lesson.
My second fave role of his has got to be Coconut Pete in Broken Lizard's "Club Dread":
One of his final roles that I liked was somewhat of an homage to Aliens in "Edge of Tomorrow", where he was the master sergeant who kept getting in Tom Cruise's way.
He was great. It's still hard to believe that he's gone, because nobody saw it coming.
