    Always liked this guy in films and TV,not a massive name but died today.

    Most people will know him as the Bad Guy in Rambo First Blood and the Alien in Cocoon.

    I remember watching him in a Tv series To Catch a Killer he was outstanding in that as Seriel Killer John Wayne Gacy,won an emmy for it.

    RIP big fella. Anyone who saw his portrayal as serial killer John Wayne Gacy in To Catch a Killer wouldn't forget it - absolutely chilling. Currently sitting through the 2 F/X movies back to back, probably for the first time in close to 30 years.

    He appeared briefly in South Park the movie.

    I feel bad that that’s the only place I know his name from.

    He was outstanding in that tbh,i havent seen it in years but remember he was scary as * in that as Gacy,the scence were he got drunk and the way he manipulated the young guy to put on the handcuffs always stuck in my mind.

    Forgot about the F/X movies might give them a watch,again its been years since i saw them.

    Surprising he didn’t get much bigger roles down the years. Thought he was a great actor and always watched if I knew he was in something. We had a family movie night on Monday evening and watched Cocoon. Coincidence.
