Because I am what some would term "obsessed", I thought I would bring back the appreciation thread for everyone's favorite craggly faced, gravel voiced actor. Lance is a genre legend who has had starring roles in such films as Pumpkinhead, Near Dark, The Pit and the Pendulum, Aliens and Scream 3. He is also the only actor who can boast being killed by an Alien, Predator and Terminator!

He was also on the greatest show of all time, MillenniuM.

He always brings a level of intensity to every role he is in. He is also apparently fond of Bigfoot, as he made three films in less than two years revolving around the legendary creature. (Abominable, Sasquatch Mountain and Sasquatch)

As a theologian, I also offer proofs for his existence as a deity:

1) His ability to never look like he has aged. God is timeless, and Lance is timeless.

2) That voice. Need I say more? You know when God created the earth, He did it in a totally kick ass voice and not some wimpy ass one.

3) Gray hair, it's a trait of wisdom. And God=wisdom

4) Lance did battle with Satan as Frank Black on Millennium. Hello, God does that on a daily basis!

5) Badass, plain and simple

6) On the seventh day, God rested. Two weeks before that, Lance Henriksen created God.

Lance rules! He's great in everything that he's done and I wish he'd get better roles.

I knew you would be on board Jigsaw!

- I just read on IMDB that Lance is rumored to be involved in Alone in the Dark II. I take everything on IMDB with a grain of salt, but oh Lance, please don't let this be true!

- In what may be the most bizarre thing ever, he is currently starring on a Brazillian soap opera. How I would love to be able to see that!

- Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud will be released on October 2. It would make a great birthday present for me..... (No so subtle hint there) :)

I think this is a good thread for me to bitch about the fact that Pumpkinhead has never seen a widescreen DVD release, ever. MGM needs to get on that, seriously.

I agree. That, and Pumpkinhead is also deserving of a 20th Anniversay DVD next year, with a Widescreen transfer and lots of extra material.

Audio commentary by Lance would just be dreamy....:shy: I could listen to him read a phone book or a menu all day and never be bored... What? Sorry, I snapped back into it.

I still have the first release of Pumpkinhead that came out with Lance on the cover. I was quite saddened when they replaced it with that hideous looking one. My friends at The Exchange used to kid me about my crush all the time. Somebody brought in the Pumpkinhead with Lance on the cover, and my coworkers kept it behind the counter. Everyday Lance would have a new quoted post it note saying something like, "Ash, we belong together," or "The time has come...for you to marry me." It was a lot of fun. :)

I love Millennium
(check the avatar, its from the opening credits)
It was my all time faves for TV shows.
The first season was excellent.


I even check his low budget "Bigfoot" movies when they come out.

great actor.

Lance not only created God, he created Chuck Norris.:D

Lance is just awesome. He's the one actor I've always wanted to meet. Hopefully I can make it to a convention he's at in the future.

He's one of those actors that you can turn on the TV, flip through twenty channels, and find something he's in. And that's not a bad thing either.;)
