Born: July 31, 1956

As a child, Michael Biehn moved from his Alabama hometown to Nebraska and finally Arizona, where he graduated high school. He went to college and later moved to Los Angeles to begin a film career, making his professional stage debut after two years of intensive training. 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 onscreen 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 James_Cameron's The_Terminator, Biehn became a member of Cameron's informal stock company, playing colorful leading roles in Aliens (1986) and The_Abyss (1989). He worked steadily throughout the '90s and '00s, dividing his time between television and films. Hal Erickson, Rovi
