As an intense, versatile actor, Lance Henriksen has starred in a variety of films that have allowed him to perfect his talents and make a name for himself in the horror/science fiction community.

He has played a clean-cut FBI agent, a psychotic motorcycle-gang leader, a soulless, murderous vampire, a desperate father and a burned-out, world-weary homicide detective. But Henriksen is perhaps best known for portraying the android Bishop in Aliens (1986) and Alien 3 (1992). He would then go on to play Charles Bishop Weyland, the man Bishop’s appearance was based on, in Alien vs. Predator (2007).

Henriksen has been nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in Millennium and received a Life Career Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.

In addition to his acting career, Henriksen is an accomplished painter and potter. He resides in Southern California with his wife Jane and their daughter Sage

Ripley is now sent out to aid a team of rugged space marines to find out if there are aliens, or any survivors, on the desolate planet.

Hoping the mission will help Ripley rid her of her painful memories, she soon discovers that she has been thrown back into her worst nightmare, times one hundred.
