Michael Ironside

He's lived a full life

He's one of those B-list actors that was really very good and entertaining and made any film he was in better.

"Give me a little salute."

His head once exploded and he lost both his arms! And he has an insect allergy or something. But a great guy (extra great nowadays, apparently). nonetheless.

The man is 71 years old and has survived cancer three times. Hardly surprising he looks different.

Although it might be appropriate for him to change his name to Pillowsides these days, I've liked him in even some of the worst movies he's been in (e.g. Highlander II being about the worst of them, of course, but even something like the low-budget adaptation of Koontz's "Watchers" was somewhat enjoyable, in part because of him, although the dog helped too). I mean the man has 272 credits to his name for crying out loud. He wasn't very picky about his roles even back in his prime, but has worked steadily, and that deserves a lot of respect. He has a natural talent that works well for the screen, and elevates any movie by his mere presence.

i was happy to see him. he was great in 2015's turbo kid.
