Unsung Actors - My Take (Michael Biehn)

Tweet

A List Actors always seem to get the media attention and therefore are more well known to us but aren't necessarily better. Let's face it, to be an "A" List actor, you may have to be a good actor, but you've also got to get lucky. There are a lot of actors out there who are good but just don't get the media attention or attention. Whether due to timing, looks, unlucky movie choices, etc. Something keeps them from the limelight. My Personal Choice for Unsung Actor is Michael Biehn. I love his acting, but for years didn't know his name. When I finally put together who he was, I went on IMDB and was amazed at all the parts he had. I was literally sitting there saying "That was him? I loved that guy!" Now, I'm betting a lot of you still don't know who I'm talking about so here's some help. The Terminator - Kyle Reece Aliens - Lt Hicks Tombstone - Johnny Ringo The Abyss - Lt Coffey TV Show - Mag 7 (loved this show!) - Chris Larabee (Everyone with me yet?) After I realized who he was, I started watching all of the movies he'd been in and while some are questionable, most are really good, just not ones that you would have heard of. Still a bit upset because I can't find Adventure Inc anywhere :( I think sometimes we miss out on some really good movies that are made because they don't have the 'A List' names in them and just don't get media play. Thoughts, comments ?
