@@aleksandarradovanovic8496 From what I know, a friend of mine knows Michael Biehn and has talked to him several times, his favorite performance was as Kyle Reese in The Terminator. I believe that he was just saying that Aliens was the best movie he made, but not his best performance. He even said in this podcast that Hicks was sleeping most of the time.
@@MrCarpen7er Should have asked him about the differences between Reese and Hicks. Both have that trustworthy and calm demeanor, with Reese exuding a sense of high strung urgency and Hicks a strange calmness under pressure. Two such very different characters really, yet both have that undercurrent of warmth and total reliability.... It's awesome

So glad Michael Biehn came back. He’s an absolute legend and the most amazing and candid story teller. Literally one of the best guests you’ve ever had, and please please have him back again because he would have endless stories. 😂❤
Michael Biehn WAS IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE , THE MAN!! FUCKING ... VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS WERE BASED OFF THIS GUY'S LIKENESS CAUSE HE WAS JUST SUCH A MAN'S MAN!! ACTOR OF THE DECADE OF THE 80S.
When Michael talked about Ed Harris - should have asked a follow-up question about The Rock...the showdown scene in the showers was epic. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael briefly at a Horror con and it was surreal....Such a cool, cool guy
Michael Biehn was the first celebrity I'd ever "met" at a Con. It was after his day had already wrapped, and he had no reason to give me his time. But the man was more than just pleasant, he was amazing. Grew up with his pictures, and cherish the meeting.
So awesome Man I hope Micheal Rosenbaum keeps inviting him on. He does give off that real one vibe in such a crazy place as hwood indeed. Glad you had a great experience meeting Micheal Bienh in person my brother
From my 80s heroes I met only Carl Weathers, also pretty late in one con and he looked kinda happy to sign my picture of Dillon from Predator instead of 1000 Apollos before me. Talked a little bit with him about how he still looks great, about my name and we did famous handshake from Predator at the end of convo. Highlight of the year for me.
I met him at a con, and after talking for a couple of minutes, he kind of brushed me off and ended the conversation even though no one else was waiting behind me. Maybe he had something else going on, I don't know. But it made me feel like I said or did something wrong, which I don't think I did.
@@jedijones I had a similar experience with Billy Dee Williams, many years ago. He didn't brush me off individually per se, but he didn't seem to be happy at the con. He didn't talk to anyone, and didn't pose for fan photos. He just kept signing one shot after another, and moving on - it was like a cattle call. Real disappointing too, because I liked him as Lando Calrissian and Harvey Dent.
Reese and Hicks are incredible characters and just dream roles to land.. but I have a soft spot in my heart for Michael's portrayal of Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.
Man, he is so intense in his roles. "Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!" Even though Hicks is chill, he still brings this air of intensity to him. Great actor.
Since Beihn is getting so much praise here, I know this is the place to name drop a criminally underrated movie of his: Timebomb. It's basically a smaller-scale version of "The Bourne Identity", but the movie still delivers on PLENTY of action sequences (fight scenes, car chases, and gun shootouts). Beihn does A LOT of his own stunts and the dude is ripped to shreds in it. Unfortunately it came out in 1991, which was the time when not only was the 80's action movie formula already on its way out, it also got swept under the rug like a lot of great movies that year due to another little action film starring one of Beihn's coworkers: Terminator 2.
I was very impressed by how he talked about young filmmakers with a small budget in whom he believed and together they made a cool project, but most of all I was impressed by the story about James Cameron, who is actually not such a cold and mechanical “boss” of cinema, but a real a living, deeply sensitive person with a high level of empathy. I really dream that James would invite Michael to his next projects - for example, Avatar 3 4 5 and other projects.
I like these interviews with Michael Biehn, he's quite candid, and the guy was a stud in the 80's. Whenever he gets into these stories I always want to hear more then the subject gets changed and that's it. I mean he had to replace another actor in Aliens and the other actors had already bonded, and half the crew were at odds with Cameron. And this stuff with Tombstone; it's amazing with all the turmoil going on with production the movie should have been awful, but it turned out great; it's considered a classic. That's so rare, there were really some smart people that came together to be able to piece together what became the released version.
So glad he came back. He’s a special kind of actor that genuinely cares about the craft and the work he puts into everything. He’s an incredible storyteller and I could listen to him talk about behind the scenes stuff all day. Can’t wait for him to come back
Michael Biehn is a delight. Just a treat to hear him speaking, these stories, his humor and honesty. A class act and genuine human being, being who he is. And man, I do wish there was an uncut script of Tombstone out there to be had. It sounds like it'd much more like The Magnificent Seven (where there was at least a scene with Calvera and his men to try and even things a bit). I love the movie as it is, but reading a longer version? No question, I want it.
I can see why he was a model! ❤Michael Biehn is such a fantastic actor and a real guy. I just watched The Terminator with my youngest daughter..she’s 16 and loved it. His movies have stood the test of time… I can see why he wasn’t interested in the press interviews. I love that about him.
Favorite Biehn moment from The Abyss: in the submersible the tape deck starts playing music and Coffee smashes the player with his elbow and gives one little sheepish look back at the player. What a perfect moment by Biehn.
The Abyss is one of my all time favourite movies. Absolutely fantastic acting throughout by everyone involved. Not to mention the fantastic story which really makes one think…
I never appreciated this man's body of work until seeing this interview. To me he is an underrated artist who's work speaks for itself. How great would it be to see Michael Biehn and Michael Rooker in a project together.
As a sound designer and sound recordist I work on the type of low budget movies that Biehn describes. You can make high quality films for virtually no money and make them look like they cost millions with the tech we have now, if you get good actors a talented DP, and take the time to get the lighting right. Film making is so accessible today compared to 20 years ago.
I met Michael Biehn in 2017, and then again in January of this year. He's a great guy, and his wife is pretty cool. She was at the convention earlier this month, and she was just talking with everyone. Michael even got a hug from my daughter, which she enjoyed.
Thank you for continuing to do this podcast...my life has been spiraling out of control for the last 9-10 months, mom getting sick and dying suddenly, huge financial troubles...this is my weekly reset, and thought that things might be okay one day, as long as I keep pushing though.
The Abyss is one of the greatest films ever and is highly overlooked in Cameron’s filmography. Biehn’s performance in it made me really wish we got to see him in many roles at that age. He was so so good. I’m glad they talked about that scene with Ed and Mary, it definitely is one of the most suspenseful sequences in cinematic history god I love this move so much and was so lucky to see the Extended Addition in theaters last year. I really hope we can see Biehn in one of the Avatars or even a Scorcese picture
What a great interview with Michael Beihn. Love the details and his perspective on the humanity of all the people he had worked with. Great interview Rosenbaum!
This easily ranks in my Top "I Love It" episodes. Michael Biehn - wow, I really connected in this one. And the humble man just didn't reach the recognition heights he deserves for the incredible work he's done in his career. Tap to the heart from me.
Thanks for doing another interview with Michael. Such a big part of my life growing up. Always broke my heart on roles he wasn't selected for and could have rocked. His stories about his inner demons also helped me to cut the booze loose some years ago. He and his wife are great and try to support them when I can from here stationed in Germany. I hope I can finally meet in person on a Con out here.
As a Swede, far away from Hollywood im so happy i got to meet Michael Biehn and Jennifer in Stockholm. Just as humble as he is in this podcast. He is my favorite actor and meeting him was a big deal even if i felt uncomfortable being so star struck.
Biehn has stories forever - looking forward to more. I like when Rosenbaum says, "I'm so critical... I hate that about myself." He's literally critical of his tendency to be critical, lol.
When I was little, the mom of my 2 best friends, was the great niece of the Clanton's from Tombstone. She always told everyone that the story most people know was not the truth, her family was bullied back then and then villainized by the history books. I've seen a lot of information since the movie came out that has started to acknowledge that the 'heroes' weren't really the good guys that history painted them as. I always credited that movie as earning her family a small bit of justice.
I didn’t know Michael Biehn had so much to say and I ate it all up. Love him. Even his “bad” guys are entertaining like his character in Mandalorian. Nice work Rosenbaum great episode!
I'll never forget meeting Michael Biehn. I'm 6'4 and typically see most people below my eye line. Well I met him at a convention and asked if I could get a picture with him. He was very kind and very inviting and agreed. Well when he stood up, I was floored to see that he was taller than me! I remember him in the Terminator and you always got this impression that Arnold towered over him. But that's because any scene they shared typically had Michael on the ground and Arnold up top. Ah the magic of Hollywood. Terrific individual. One of the greats in my book.
I've always loved Michael Biehn. If I had the choice of being any Hollywood actor, I would be Michael. Especially during the 80s! His roles have always been bad ass, whether he's a cowboy, Space Marine, Navy SEAL or love struck time traveler, he's always been memorable.
That was a polite way of saying Ed Harris wussed out. Yikes. Hearing him recite that line from Tombstone, only for him to then say it was cut had me floored! I could picture, like I had already watched it, that scene so clearly.
Michael Biehn should have a podcast. Do an episode for each movie and TV show he has been involed in. A deep dive long form interview. Get a good researcher host. In the style of the Conrad Thompson wrestler podcasts (83 Weeks, Something to Wrestle With). I.e. a 2 hour deep dive into Navy Seals. Every detail from getting an offer to today. No one does anything like that. His career is really tailored to that and he is candid and genuine enough to make it compelling. I hope he sees this.
YES! So glad he came back, I was one of those people, met him at Wales Comic Con (might have been the one you missed) and it was one of the first things I said (you were great on inside of you) he was so nice and he is indeed very cool! Got a signed photo of Hicks.
Great show 👍🏼 and i can tell you most anticipated one. Michael Biehn is a star! not in the Hollywood sense but in his art, he is among those very rare artists who consider themselves lucky to "play", humble and honest towards his profession and his audience. We are always happy to see him in those incredible parts and characters. He's becoming rare and I can't wait to see his latest films. He deserves a show like "True Detective", "Justified" or "Succession", he would be amazing. Question for the next Michael Biehn podcast : what about comedy?
As a kid, my favorite Action Star was Arnie (I was born in 85) but I would ALWAYS say my favorite Hero in a movie was Kyle Reese… Played by Biehn, I have many memories of myself running through my house in a trench coat welding a plastic sawed-off chasing my dad who happily played the terminator. Loved watching this ❤️
Great interview! I need to go dig out my 80’s Michael Biehn Fan Club stuff!! That stuff was a real labour of love to get sent to Australia. No online payments back then.
Biehn is one of those working actors and natural-born storytellers (like a Robert Patrick or a Tommy Flannagan, or any number of guests Rosey's had on) that you'd love to just sit and have a pint with and just listen to them tell stories. So engaging and you just want to hold onto every word they say because you sense their passion about their craft and their personal history of how they got where they are. Love it!
My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Michael Biehn at a convention in Atlanta. He was so kind and wonderful to us and everyone he interacted with. They say don’t meet your heroes. In this case, I’m glad I did.
Thank you all Michaels lol. And Ryan! I love both of of Michael biehn ep! He’s so open and has detailed stories. Most importantly he doesn’t hide how he feels about them! So honest! 🎉 can’t wait for him to come back!!!!
Another fascinating interview, Michael Biehn has had such a huge impact on my life growing up, he's been in so many influential movies and tv series so it's riveting to hear his stories about his lengthy work history. His memory is also so impressive, how he reels off names and stories from decades ago. Another great one!
Michael Biehn is a legend. Pure class. I could listen to his stories all day. When he acted out the Johnny Ringo scene that was cut out.....amazing. He's a superb actor.
Michael Biehn is so cool. You should get his wife on the podcast too, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn. She seems to be a ton of fun, I still remember her from Dark Angel with Jessica Alba many many years ago.
@@gersonpierce3250 I believe in his first episode, Michael said he had a stroke a few years ago and had to go through some speech therapy. I could tell he still has a little difficulty with thinking of which words to choose when saying something. No big deal.
I just realized how much Michael Biehn looked like Jack Nicholson. If you look at him sitting in the corner from a distant, while wearing his “sunglasses at night”. It’s like seeing Jack in the 90s.
Yes!! One of my all time favorites. Loved the last pod and have been eagerly awaiting a sequel though I thought it would be years. What a great start off to the day. I friggin just looked up “Johnny depp eye disease”
I agree. I'd rather be a actor like Michael, who has some powerhouse performances under his belt but still be able to live a more normal life than be at the carats of a Leonardo DiCaprio or a Johnny Depp and not being able to go walk the corner.
I had a lot of fun too, can't wait for part 3!(and 4, 5,6.....) And I will sound like a 13-14 year old again when I first saw him in Terminator and was totally hooked for life, now 37-38 year later he's still THE one and only actor I ever really loved and still goodlooking, if he would rind my doorbel at 2 am I'd open the door right away 😉❣❣❣❣
Michael Biehn and Clancy Brown are workhorses of the 80s and 90s and deserve more recognition than they get.
True, Clancy Brown is in EVERYTHING nowadays
@@drumaticpageofmusic4148that dude elevates everything. Love him in Shawshank Redemption.
Damn Right.
You gaddamn right.
Long live Rawhide.
"aliens is the best movie i've been in"
you're god damn right it is. and credit to Michael he is one of the reasons why that movie is legendary
I like T1 more. And i think he gave the role of Kyle Reese more depth than Hicks.

One of the worst decisions on movie history
Alien 3 sux

I would love to see Michael Biehn, James Remar, Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside at an actors roundtable.
Now that's a guest list....make it happen!
Hell yeah
He was as good as it gets in Terminator and Aliens. Amazing actor.
Biehn needs his own podcast, he's very well spoken
He needs a third episode so we can talk about Navy Seals, The Rock, etc
Also, what is up with him being a Navy SEAL and being at odds with Ed Harris and a Marine. Ha. Happened twice, in The Abyss and The Rock.
They talked about Navy Seals in his first appearance
He said the director of Navy SEALs sucked. Lewis Teague, LOL. Guy who directed a lot of movies with bad reviews.
Please! I was hoping Michael R would make that a major segment of the conversation!
When Michael talked about Ed Harris - should have asked a follow-up question about The Rock...the showdown scene in the showers was epic. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael briefly at a Horror con and it was surreal....Such a cool, cool guy

Reese and Hicks are incredible characters and just dream roles to land.. but I have a soft spot in my heart for Michael's portrayal of Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.
Don't forget psycho "captain coffee" in the abyss lmfao
Man, he is so intense in his roles. "Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!"

Sweet dude, thanks for the suggestion. Gonna watch that one tonight!
Also Patsy Kinsit back in her prime (Mel Gibson South African love interest in Lethal Weapon 2).
Yesss I remember that movie! Thanks for the reminder bud.
Good one and I also think The Seventh Sign is underrated.
Thanks man.ill check it out this weekend as well

I've been crushing on Michael Biehn for 40 years. He's still got it.

As a kid, my favorite Action Star was Arnie (I was born in 85) but I would ALWAYS say my favorite Hero in a movie was Kyle Reese… Played by Biehn, I have many memories of myself running through my house in a trench coat welding a plastic sawed-off chasing my dad who happily played the terminator. Loved watching this ❤️
Thank you, Michael Biehn. You have had many iconic roles, and it's nice to get to know the man behind the characters.
Great interview! I need to go dig out my 80’s Michael Biehn Fan Club stuff!! That stuff was a real labour of love to get sent to Australia. No online payments back then.
My favorite actor from my favorite movie of all time.
I really glad to see Mr Biehn looking happy and healthy. He was one of my heros being that The Terminator and Aliens where my 2 favorite movies.
Can't believe how fast that hour went, was hanging on every word, thanks guys 👌 wishing you all health luck and happiness, Love Shan ❤️❤️
Biehn is one of those working actors and natural-born storytellers (like a Robert Patrick or a Tommy Flannagan, or any number of guests Rosey's had on) that you'd love to just sit and have a pint with and just listen to them tell stories. So engaging and you just want to hold onto every word they say because you sense their passion about their craft and their personal history of how they got where they are. Love it!
"More depth?" subtle Michael. Very subtle.
Loved that pun. Haha
My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Michael Biehn at a convention in Atlanta. He was so kind and wonderful to us and everyone he interacted with. They say don’t meet your heroes. In this case, I’m glad I did.
Thank you all Michaels lol. And Ryan! I love both of of Michael biehn ep! He’s so open and has detailed stories. Most importantly he doesn’t hide how he feels about them! So honest! 🎉 can’t wait for him to come back!!!!
Another fascinating interview, Michael Biehn has had such a huge impact on my life growing up, he's been in so many influential movies and tv series so it's riveting to hear his stories about his lengthy work history. His memory is also so impressive, how he reels off names and stories from decades ago. Another great one!
Michael Biehn is a legend. Pure class. I could listen to his stories all day. When he acted out the Johnny Ringo scene that was cut out.....amazing. He's a superb actor.
He was a mega star back in the day. Almost every movie with Biehn was a hit
The last Biehn episode was so damn good. Clicked to watch the moment I saw the title. Looking forward to the listen.
Michael Biehn is so cool. You should get his wife on the podcast too, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn. She seems to be a ton of fun, I still remember her from Dark Angel with Jessica Alba many many years ago.
Michael is a great storyteller, I'm looking forward to part 3 and his Alien 3 story. I hope you get Robert Patrick back as well.
Give the dude a break he's 67 years old, sheesh@@gersonpierce3250
@@gersonpierce3250 I believe in his first episode, Michael said he had a stroke a few years ago and had to go through some speech therapy. I could tell he still has a little difficulty with thinking of which words to choose when saying something. No big deal.
Thank you for coming back, Michael B !!! what a talented and cool dude. always loved him
Biehn is such a treat.
Micheal Bein just went full on Johnny Ringo!😮👏👏👏My jaw dropped. I would’ve pissed my pants if I was in that room!😮👏👏👏
I just realized how much Michael Biehn looked like Jack Nicholson. If you look at him sitting in the corner from a distant, while wearing his “sunglasses at night”. It’s like seeing Jack in the 90s.
Amazing actor - so great to hear his take on so many things here, great interview!
After immensely enjoying this interview, it would be fantastic to have Lance Hendricksen on the show 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes, absolutely get Lance!
I am so glad that you did a part 2. Definitely looking forward to listening to it.
Yes!! One of my all time favorites. Loved the last pod and have been eagerly awaiting a sequel though I thought it would be years. What a great start off to the day.
I friggin just looked up “Johnny depp eye disease”
Michael Biehn is such a phenomenal actor, I respect him for not wanting to be a high profile as an actor .
I agree. I'd rather be a actor like Michael, who has some powerhouse performances under his belt but still be able to live a more normal life than be at the carats of a Leonardo DiCaprio or a Johnny Depp and not being able to go walk the corner.
I had a lot of fun too, can't wait for part 3!(and 4, 5,6.....)
And I will sound like a 13-14 year old again when I first saw him in Terminator and was totally hooked for life, now 37-38 year later he's still THE one and only actor I ever really loved and still goodlooking, if he would rind my doorbel at 2 am I'd open the door right away 😉❣❣❣❣
I met michael at a film fest a couple months back and chatted with us for a good while. Really amazing human he is
Always love hearing from Mr. Biehn.
Time puts everything on the right place. Michael Biehn is a great actor! Thank you so much for your talent and iconic works 👏👏👏
Michael is an awesome guy, he talked to me for 20 something minutes about filmmaking
Great conversation ! Biehn has some great stories.
Michael Biehn is an excellent actor.
You could have Michael Biehn on once a year and never run out of interesting things to talk about. Great guest, great actor.
Maybe twice a year?
Michael Biehn is the man. Great interview. Please bring him back again for more in a few months.
I could watch him weekly. Great stories again from Michael.
Love from Denmark
What I’d give to see Micheal working with James and the relationship on set and off set. Fantastic episode.
You could bring Michael on every month and it would be fine by me. Such a great actor, love seeing him.
