    Michael Biehn was our guest for a film tribute. He had over 400 people on line and he took his time with each and every person, treating them all as special. We asked the people who were towards the back if they were okay with waiting or should we ask him to speed it up and they said no and Michael gave just as much time and attention to the last as he did to the first. It was impressive to see.

      It’s always great to hear about, see, and meet an actor who’s great at their calling and understands and relates to the fans. Even in the podcast near the end talking about going to the cons and how the fans treat him, he seemed a little overwhelmed and appreciative about their positive feedback to him. A class act.

    I got to meet Michael Biehn at a con a few years ago. My son was 5 at the time and dressed as Arnold from T2 with an oversized shotgun toy. We did the whole paid photo OP thing and Michael was so nice. After we started walking away he sent one of his guys over to ask us to come back. He ended up "playing guns" with my son for a few minutes and let us snag a few extra pics with our phones. I think he said one of his sons was about the same age at the time and it was just super sweet to see him put a pause on the whole thing to share that moment with us and our son. Fkn cool dude

    Sorely underrated actor who had great intensity and physical ability for his action movies. The scene in Terminator in the car when he revealed the horror of the future war to Sarah and how "We were that close to going out....." is brilliant. He delivered exposition for the story in a believably haunted and strangely nostalgic way. Great actor who needs to be in far more big roles.

      You hit the nail right on the head. Interesting that when James Cameron sold Schwarzenegger on the role of the T800 he told him that Reese (whom Schwarzenegger apparently was intent on reading for) was 'just another hero.' Yet, it speaks immense volumes that nearly forty years later we're still talking about Michael Biehn's portrayal of Kyle Reese 🌟

He just has that charisma, an iron sort of presence just like mentioned on the podcast, a coolness that he just ‘turned on’ and it was like shaking hands with Wyatt Earp or something.

If they'd allowed Ed Harris's character to sacrifice himself to save everyone and just ended it, it would have been a perfect, poignant finish to a really good movie. Even the aliens discreetly saving Harris while stopping the explosion, though being less emotionally moving, would have worked. Leaving an air of mystery regarding the aliens themselves would have been infinitely preferable to the bombastic finish we got. The monstrously bad special-effects-laden alien saving-of-the-day and revealing themselves finish was awful to see on screen (and played poorly in narrative too). I'll never forget Chris Elliot's ridiculous mugging on the screen as the alien craft broke the surface. Ugh. Might as well have been a clip from Snow Day. Until the very end, it was a taut, smart movie -- helped along by its almost claustrophobic yet beautiful underwater setting. The end turned it into .. as Time Magazine dubbed it ... a "water bomb." I like to watch that movie occasionally and just pretend it ends 10 minutes or so sooner. Regardless, Biehn was good in his role. As were all the principal cast.

      anyway, if you haven't watched the abyss in a while, i highly recommend a rewatch...i just did the other day and the performances, the tension, the story...just wow. what a masterpiece it is.

    I can relate to the talk about feeling like the drunk version of yourself is the real version. I felt like that for a long time. The lack of inhibition made me feel like drunk me was the version of myself that I was afraid to be. Over time, the lines between drunk and sober me started to blur. It was to the point where my sober self was more confident and wasn’t afraid to be myself, then the drunk version only had my most annoying habits over my sober self. Didn’t make it any easier to quit drinking, but it gave me a reason to try.

    Biehn's commentary about the convention appearances -- and the money associated therewith -- jibes with an older story about when he was screaming + hollering at event staff because "the money wasn't ready for him at the desk," or similarly wasn't arranged exactly the way he wanted it. Sounds like he was almost entirely living on those guest appearances + autographs back then, with his wife's coaching.

    Michael Biehn is one of my favorite actors of all time. Supremely underrated.
    I met Michael Rooker a few years ago at a horrorcon, right after the release of the first Guardians movie. He was asking everyone who paid for pictures and autographs what their favorite movie/series was that he was in and most people said The Walking Dead.
    I got to the front and said "Mallrats," he busted out laughing about this, I was being a little weird about getting too close to him and he goes "Come here you weird little shit" and put his arm around me for the picture. Awesome dude and one of the greatest moments of my life.

  • @TheVetusMores

    This is my single _favorite_ interview, Michael (Rosenbaum). I have come back and re-watched this thing three times now. Every interview (well, podcast) you do is excellent. You are a total natural at this -- the _best._ These days, it's becoming commonplace, but you're still the best of all.
    Michael Biehn, man ... Never have I seen someone in his walk of life so open, so honest, so sincere. He just bared his soul here. I sure hope he _does_ come back for another interview! What a fantastic guy. --_and_ an excellent actor. (When he does, I hope he talks about being snubbed for _Alien³._ That had to hurt like hell.)
    I've always enjoyed his work, and his likability comes through it, even when he's playing the villain, like in _Deadly Intentions_ (yeah, I'm showing my age -- just a few years shy of his). This interview sealed it for me. Michael Biehn must be one of the half-dozen or so coolest guys in Hollywood.
    He knows he's the luckiest guy in the world: working the dream job, everyone "loves" you for it, the money's amazing, and you can screw things up, _but_ if you make amends and get yourself together (which is a lot easier said than done), you can pick up where you left off. I admire him for being humble enough to admit that.
    Biehn is fantastic. He's one of a very small handful of people in Hollywood I would love to sit and chat with. Plus, I want to thank his wife Jen for quickly identifying his symptoms and rushing him to Cedars and saving his life! Strokes are terrifying, and can be very debilitating: without her, he might not still be with us. So, _Thank you, Jen!_

    This was a wonderful interview. Biehn has been one of my favorite action heroes since I was a kid because he's not the typical type of person that was unloading guns onscreen at the time. Look at Kyle Reese compared to action heroes of the time. He's wiry, traumatized, and far from invincible. A real human being with the bravery to face off against an unstoppable enemy and Biehn brought that beautifully.

It does sound like he just couldn't recognize his anxiety and the alcohol made him feel himself. So glad he was finally able to quit. Also glad he survived his stroke and is 100% now.

    I did a one day acting workshop with Michael in the early 2000s in Los Angeles. We did a scene from TRAINING DAY starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. I played Ethan's character to Michael's Denzel character. Of course he did better than me. We performed it in front of a small class. He questioned why I chose to play Ethan's character because he thought since I was in my 30s I should play Denzel's character. I told him I chose Ethan because I knew Michael would be playing Denzel and to me it made sense. Like Denzel's character, Michael is way more experienced, life weathered and talented than I was. It just made sense and still does today. He was an awesome teacher for that one day.

He could not understand my thick Scottish accent when i asked him about being offered the role of Spiderman in the mid 1990s and seemed annoyed that there had ever been a rumour in the first place. Well, it was in Film Review and other magazines around 1994 or 1995 and he confirmed it was rubbish. However, he will always be one of my favourites because of his work with James Cameron (especially as Hiram Coffey in The Abyss) and even in his direct to video roles in the 1990s when not being on the big screen in movies like Jade and The Rock, he always gave a quality performance in my eyes....there was never a 'phoned in performance' He was even outstanding in the tv films Deadly Intentions and A Taste For Killing. Michael Biehn is a great actor and was criminally under rated as a Hollywood screen great.
