Kids who grew up in the 80s, were spoiled with action heroes. Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Van Damme... the list goes on. But when Michael Biehn stepped on screen as Kyle Reese in The Terminator, fans thought a new legend had arrived. He had the looks, the intensity, the talent... and to be honest, better acting skills than most of his muscle-bound peers. For a moment, it felt like the birth of Hollywood’s next big star.

So, what the heck happened to Michael Biehn?

But his story isn’t all tragedy, because against the odds, Biehn is still here, still working, and still surprising fans in ways no one saw coming.
