Biography:
Born: 1956 07 31
At age 18, Michael Biehn made the big move
from his Alabama hometown to LA. After two years of
intensive training, he made his professional stage bow.
In 1978, Biehn was cast as Mark Johnson, the
hard-veneered but vulnerable ward of psychiatrist Robert
Reed, in the TV series Operation Runaway. For the next
few years, malevolence was Biehn's on-screen strong suit,
first as the psycho title character in 1981's The Fan,
then as the neofascist military-school upperclassman in
The Lords of Discipline (1982). After switching gears
with the sympathetic role of futuristic android-hunter
Kyle Reese in director James Cameron's The Terminator,
Michael Biehn became a member of Cameron's informal stock
company, playing colorful leading roles in Aliens (1986)
and The Abyss (1988).
