Lance Henriksen (has been actor) is an asshole!

[displacedtexan]

My daughter is working on a film called "Dead Water" with him,
and he made one of the make up artists cry the other day.

He's nice to everyone else, but he's singled out this very talented
young woman to torture. Word on the set is that he does this on
every film set.

GGGRRR!!! I just had to vent. Why can't people just be nice
and helpful? Is that too much to ask?

[Phillycat]

1. I just Googled him.

Tell him he's Poor Man's Clint Eastwood.

[plcdude]

2. who is he?

I am not familiar with him. Do you want me to hurt him?

[displacedtexan]

8. A nice horse head in the bed might do the trick.

[AlCzervik]

3. is he the craggy looking older guy?

[displacedtexan]

4. He was in that Millennium TV show.

[AlCzervik]

5. ok i looked him up the imdb, he's quite the c lister.

what an ass for doing that.

[displacedtexan]

6. I guess some people are mean just because they used to be...

quasi-famous or something.

When I looked this guy up on IMDB, I learned that he
was supposed to be The Terminator; then, Ahhnold
auditioned.

That still doesn't give this guy a reason to be mean
to young women.

[AlCzervik]

7. it sure doesn't, he's on a power trip from the sounds of it.

[AngryAmish]

9. But "Near Dark" is still a classic

[Bunny]

10. Here's a picture of that douchebag:

He's a big man, isn't he? Picking on a 'lowly' makeup artist. Asshat.

[displacedtexan]

11. I just hate learning that someone I once respected is so mean.

I actually liked his work until yesterday.

Hm. I also wondered why he didn't get better parts.

Maybe the meanness on set?

[soleft]

23. I know how you feel, I just found out Phil Simms is a republican

I guess not a big surprise. He's from the south, he's a football player. But he's been my hero for years. I'm sure my new NFL crush is also Republican too. Well, I can hate his politics and not hate him, right?

[displacedtexan]

27. Right.

But you wouldn't call the daughter of the person who
told you he was a Republican a bitch, would you?

Thanks for understanding the situation, soleft.

I've had it with posting personal stuff.

[soleft]

29. jeez, I just saw that

pretty uncalled for.

Keep posting whatever you want to post. We got your back.

[displacedtexan]

30. You're so kind!

I've always got yours, too.

And the DU Ignore Function works like a charm, doesn't it?

The only time I unleash the Ignored is when they reply to my weekly
DU column, The Blog Box.

[dysfunctional press]

12. then again, you're only hearing one side of the story...third hand at that.

i'll reserve judgement, and continue to enjoy his work in near dark and alien at the very least.

[displacedtexan]

13. My daughter has witnessed this behavior all week.

They're filming on the ship they used in The Titanic.

Henriksen said the young woman's sponge work
felt like sandpaper on his face (a rubber sponge
feels like sandpaper?) and that he'd never worked
with a worse makeup artist.

The young woman in question has a stellar reputation & resume.

[dysfunctional press]

16. it's still only one person's side of the story...

for all i know, your daughter could be the one that's just a total bitch. (and i'm not saying that she is- just that i'm not going to get down on an actor who's performances i generally like based merely on unsubstantiated here say.

[displacedtexan]

19. Well...

That was completely uncalled for.

Bye.

[dysfunctional press]

20. whatever...

if it's true that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree- i'll apparently have to give the benefit of the doubt to Lance. :hi:

[MissMillie]

24. Was he in "Aliens"

And the first Terminator?

[soleft]

14. The Hyperdine models always were a bit twitchy

I didn't think that could happen now with the new behavior inhibitors.

[Drum]

15. lol!

:)

[dysfunctional press]

17. well there you go...

nt.

[displacedtexan]

18. That's the best explanation!

Thanks!

[Rob H.]

21. Ha!

:rofl:

Wish I'd thought of that. :D

[InternalDialogue]

22. Well, he played the heartless cyborg Bishop in "Alien"

I thought that was a great acting job, but maybe it wasn't acting at all?

[jobycom]

25. Meh. Who knows?

Without knowing why he made the makeup artist cry, or seeing that he does this to everyone, I couldn't pass judgement. Who knows, maybe she got sloppy, maybe it was a professional argument, maybe she had a bad day, maybe he had a bad day, maybe she said something that reminded him of something painful and he snapped, maybe she's an old enemy of his, maybe they slept together the night before and she was mean to him the next morning...

Geeze, who can tell? You said he treats everyone else nicely.

[Taverner]

26. He's an actor flexing his ego. Ego is all actors have.

Not an excuse, but an explanation.

I stopped dating actresses long before I got married.

[mitchum]

28. She should rag on him for his not having learned to read until his 30s...

I'm pretty sure I read that in a supermarket checkout line once

[displacedtexan]

31. Ouch.

He couldn't read until his 30's?

How sad for him. That must've been hard... trying to audition
for parts.
