I’m a huge Lance Henriksen fanboy. I began my fascination with the actor, like a lot of people, with his iconic role in ALIENS. A few years later, I became hooked on his series Millennium, and started watching the rest of his movies, including (what became one of my all-time favorite vampire movies) Near Dark.
