A bit more Michael Biehn

From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things
 Last October I did a post about one of my favorite actors, Michael Biehn who I feel really deserved to have gained more fame and better roles in Hollywood. I had these caps b of Michael from his rarely seen film 'The Martyrdom of Saint Sabastian.' thought I should finally post them.


 Michael Connell Biehn (born July 31, 1956) is an American actor and director. He is best known for his roles in James Cameron's science fiction action films The Terminator (as Kyle Reese), Aliens (as Cpl. Dwayne Hicks), and The Abyss (as Lt. Coffey). He has also acted in such films as Tombstone, The Rock, and Planet Terror. On television, Biehn appeared in the cast of the Emmy Award-winning 1980s television series Hill Street Blues and the short lived syndicated show Adventure Inc.


 Le martyre de Saint Sébastien 
(The Martyrdom of Saint Sabastian)
 1984 French TV Movie


 Sebastian, Chief Archer in the Roman Army, converts to Christianity. A favorite of Emperor Augustus, Sebastian's devotion to Christ eventually drives him to reject the Emperor's love, causing the Emperor to angrily order Sebastian to be shot with arrows by his fellow archers. The film retells this mystery play with a definite 'art-house' approach: an almost poetical use of language, singing, dancing, some homoerotic themes, and some special effects.
