Lance Henriksen - biography, date of birth, place of birth, filmography, clips, actor.
Lance Henriksen was born in May 1940 in New York. His childhood was not ordinary. After the divorce of his parents, his mother took care of him, however, it was not easy to cope with his violent character. He left home when he was 12, then dropped out of school. He grew up on the street, was in jail for minor offenses like vagrancy, and couldn't even read.
He will master the ABC much later, only by the age of 30, when he will start acting. And he will get his first role by retraining from a set designer to an actor of the theater for which he made them. He graduated from an acting studio, played on the New York stage, then became addicted to gambling, but, in the end, managed to convince himself to continue developing as an artist, not a player.
The first film with Lance Henriksen - It's not easy, came out in 1972, but it was, as they say, "tryout". Then there were the minor characters in the already more famous tapes, such as: Dog Day Afternoon, Close Encounters of the Third Degree (fantastic drama from Spielberg), Omen 2: Damien, Good Boys. He had an amazing ability to successfully combine top films with non-rated ones: for example, in 1984 he played a good supporting role in Terminator, and after 3 years he appeared in a low-budget film of the fantasy genre - Dangerous Territory, and then again appears in the most recognizable his image - Bishop's android in Aliens. And such a carousel can be observed throughout his career, and he starred in only 219 films.

Especially worth noting is his performance in the TV series Millennium, in which he played Frank Black, a man who builds a psychological portrait of a maniac, thereby making it easier for detectives to find a criminal. The image he created was to the taste of both viewers and critics, who several times nominated him for the Globe.
