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?

That is cool about how he and Lance were both killed by a terminator, a xenomorph, and a predator. I don't think I have ever though about that before. You could say they were also both killed by a vampire-turned-back-into-a-human, in Near Dark. Although, for Lance H's character, time just sort of ran out for him... he was killed by the sun, an electrical fire in an exploding car, possibly a conscious decision that he had had enough fun and was ready to die... it was complicated for him. But the Caleb character certainly had a lot to do with the fact that he died, and the fact that Severen died..

He was always a pleasure to see, in anything he did. He was best when he got to be a wildman in some way, but he was always solid, I thought.

Sometimes I think about how some of the great Texas actors of our lifetime have added so much to our lives. I wonder if they would have turned out the way they did, and been the people they were, if they had grown up in other states. Bill Paxton, Michael McConaughey, Woody Harrelson... there are plenty of others, of course, but those actors in particular just seem like they couldn't possibly have come from anywhere but Texas. I am not sure they would have turned out as awesome as they did if they grew up in Massachusetts, Connecticut, or Vermont, the states I'm most familiar with. I had to check on R. Lee Ermey, who actually grew up in Kansas and Washington state... he certainly had a Texas vibe going on. I guess the fact that he did not grow up in Texas might disprove my main point, sort of, but you can see what I'm getting at, with the three actors I named up above.
