Lance Henriksen to star in Aliens vs. Predator! photo

Lance "The Chameleon" Henriksen has been confirmed as one of the cast members of Rebellion's upcoming Aliens vs. Predator, taking on the role of Karl Bishop Weyland, a descendent of Weyland-Yutani founder Charles Bishop Weyland. This is clearly the best news of the day, if not the year. 

"They’ve made me look very good," said Lance Henriksen, "This is the first time I’ve been fully represented in a game, with my voice and how I look, and the Rebellion guys have done a great job. I might score from this game!"

Henriksen has been a huge part of the Aliens franchise, playing the android Bishop in Aliens and Alien 3, as well as his human counterpart Charles Weyland in the first Aliens vs. Predator movie. Quite what Karl Weyland is up to in AvP, we are yet to find out, but whatever it is, it's bound to be awesome. 

Because Lance Henriksen is the f*cking man!

I like the sound of this. I hope his character sends the humans to get slaughtered and then makes some disparaging remark on the human game over screen.

I loved him in the Millennium TV series, and in Alien, of course.

He's bad ass. Though his career is rocky. He's the source behind the phrase "alimony movies" that my film buff friends use to describe a good actor in a bad film.

During a convention panel, a fan asked him why he was in so many crap films after being in so many good films and he said "Sometimes you need to make your alimony payments."

Its a shame the movies of AVP were complete trash. I still remember fondly the old arcade brawler and comic/novels. Hopefully this will rock as it deserves.

More Lance is always a good thing, he should be in every movie for at least 20 seconds.
