Timeline

1956

Michael Connell Biehn (born July 31, 1956) is an American actor, primarily known for his roles in science fiction films directed by James Cameron; as Sgt. Kyle Reese in The Terminator (1984), Cpl. Dwayne Hicks in Aliens (1986), and Lt. Coffey in The Abyss (1989).

1978

Biehn got his start in movies with a bit part in the film version of Grease in 1978.

He appears in two scenes; in one scene, John Travolta's character, Danny, hits Biehn's uncredited character in the stomach while playing basketball.

1981

His other films include The Fan (1981), The Seventh Sign (1988), Navy SEALs (1990), Tombstone (1993), The Rock (1996), Mojave Moon (1996), Megiddo: The Omega Code 2 (2001), Clockstoppers (2002), and Planet Terror (2007).

In 1981, Biehn appeared in the role of Douglas Breen, a stalker, in the 1981 film version of Bob Randall's novel The Fan, starring Lauren Bacall.

On television, Biehn made a guest appearance on Hill Street Blues.

1984

On television, he has appeared in Hill Street Blues (1984), The Magnificent Seven (1998–2000), and Adventure Inc. (2002–2003).

Biehn received a Best Actor Saturn Award nomination for Aliens.

Biehn was born in Anniston, Alabama, the second of three boys born to Marcia (née Connell) and Don Biehn, a lawyer.

He is of German, English, Irish and Scottish descent; his surname is of German origin.

When he was young, he moved with his family to Lincoln, Nebraska, and then to Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where he was a member of the high school drama club before graduating.

He attended the drama program at the University of Arizona, where he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity before moving to Hollywood.

In 1984, Biehn played Sgt. Kyle Reese, a soldier sent back in time by John Connor to save his mother, Sarah Connor, in the film The Terminator.

Biehn appeared opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton; the film was directed by James Cameron.

1986

Biehn starred in a second film directed by James Cameron: Aliens (1986), in which he portrayed Corporal Hicks, a corporal in the Colonial Marines.

Originally, Hicks was to be portrayed by James Remar, who was fired from Aliens shortly after production started.

Cameron chose Biehn as a last-minute replacement, being familiar with Biehn as they previously worked together in Terminator, so Biehn could immediately begin filming without having to go through "boot camp" training as the rest of the cast had done.

Due to his late casting, Biehn was unable to customize his character's combat armor as the other actors had done.

Biehn rejected the padlock heart motif that he was given, joking that it was like a giant bullseye on his chest.

Sigourney Weaver, who portrayed protagonist Ellen Ripley in Aliens, praised Biehn for bringing "a sensitivity to the role of Hicks, an alpha male who had no problem following a woman's lead".

For his work in Aliens, Biehn was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Actor.

In an early draft of Alien 3 written by William Gibson, Biehn's character Hicks, who had survived the events of Aliens, was to become the protagonist, replacing Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver).

Walter Hill and David Giler wrote the final script, which had Hicks killed off in the opening scene.

Biehn, upon learning of his character's demise, demanded and received almost as much money for the use of his likeness in one scene as he had been paid for his role in Aliens.

1989

Biehn had his third collaboration with James Cameron in The Abyss (1989), portraying Lieutenant Hiram Coffey who suffers from high-pressure nervous syndrome.

Biehn received strong reviews for his performance, with the studio lobbying unsuccessfully for him to be nominated for an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor.

Biehn played the role of Johnny Ringo in Tombstone including the showdown scene with Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday.

1991

Biehn went on to have a small role in the sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), briefly reprising his role as Reese in a scene cut from the final film but restored for the Director's Cut version.

1996

Biehn portrayed a Navy SEAL for the third time, in the action film The Rock (1996).

While The Rock was most successful movie of Biehn's career in terms of box office gross, it saw his billing and screen time diminished, and after that he never landed a part in a big budget Hollywood film.

Later, Biehn took acting roles ranging from low-budget films such as The Art of War and Clockstoppers to video games like Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun and independent movies, such as Havoc.

1998

He starred in three TV series including the CBS drama The Magnificent Seven (1998–2000), the Tribune Entertainment syndicated TV series Adventure Inc. (2002–2003), and the NBC TV series Hawaii (2004).

All three shows were cancelled because of low ratings.

2009

Biehn was considered to portray Colonel Miles Quaritch, the main antagonist of James Cameron's science fiction epic film Avatar (2009), but Cameron felt his appearance in the film coupled with that of Weaver would remind people too much of Aliens.

2010

Biehn directed the 2010 film The Blood Bond.

2011

In 2011 he wrote, directed and starred in The Victim.

2019

Biehn stated in 2019 that he was initially not enthusiastic about appearing in a Schwarzenegger film, as he had hoped to act alongside the likes of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

In 2019, Biehn confirmed in an interview that he would not be reprising the role for Terminator: Dark Fate or any other future installments.

Biehn reprised the role of Hicks by voicing the character in the video game Aliens: Colonial Marines and again in 2019 for an audio drama adaptation of Gibson's un-filmed script for Alien 3 released by Audible.

2020

In 2020, Biehn was cast as the villain Lang in the second season of the Star Wars television series The Mandalorian.
