Poll
Question:
Which one is cooler?
Option 1: Lance Henriksen
votes: 10
Option 2: Michael Fucking Ironside
votes: 19
Inspired by some recent movie watching, and my "Who's Cooler: Ian Holm/Brian Cox" thread ages ago.
Lance Henriksen was Bishop. He's got Terminator under his belt. The Millennium TV series. He was Frank fucking Black, was in The X Files, has done a ton of Sci-Fi B movies. He's got a shitload of video game voice work on his CV: Mass Effect, AvP, Call of Duty, Chronicles of Riddick.
edit: Lance was also in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, if you remember.
Michael Fucking Ironside. Starship Troopers. Total Recall. Scanners. Goes back to the original V TV series. Col Archwood on Community. Was on ER for a time in cool recurring role. Has done his share of video game voice work: Splinter Cell, Red Faction. Was in the pretty intense nobody-saw-it-but-it-was-cool-as-shit film with Christian Bale in The Machinist.
As badass as Lance Henriksen is--and I think he's more of a total actor overall--my vote goes to Michael Fucking Ironside. Dude, he was Jester.
Never heard of either of them. Useless without pics.
Sigh.
Michael Ironside is much better as a bad guy.
Lance. He does pottery.

Well, in this case it might jog the memory, though I'm not sure that's what Marty had in mind.
I saw The Machinist. I'm still confused by it.
My vote goes to Ironside.
Lance Henrikson, though it's close. Millennium pushes him ahead by a hair.

Don't know either of them, and this is as good a reason as any other to throw my vote one way or another.
So, Lance. :)
Raz will have to think on this.
Tough question. Michael Ironsde is pretty typecast in his roles - see Starship Troopers, Total Recall, V. Love him in his roles, but he's mostly playing the same character (for which we all love him).
Henriksen is much more versatile, and his roles are, on the whole, more memorable to me (I especially liked him in Jum Jarmusch's Dead Man). So he gets my vote by a very slim margin.
Only one of them was in the Right Stuff.
Of course the other one was in Scanners.
Tough choice.

Yeah, I gotta agree. Ironside is more intense, and probably more badass, but Henriksen is a better actor, and far more versatile.
Tough choice, but I gotta go with Ironside due to the fact that he was in V.
Michael Fucking Ironside clearly has the cooler name.
Michael Fucking Ironside was in the cinematics of Command and Conquer 3, too.
But it's really a tough question.
I say more badass, Michael Fucking Ironside; cooler, Lance Henriksen.
L.
Voted Ironside. Bishop was a pussy.
Michael Ironside. TOTAL RECALL BITCHES.
The old one. The new one looks like ass. Fuck all Timmay driven reboots.
They have nothing to do with Timmayism, they are all driven by post-economic crash fear.
Timmay tards with short attention spans are a bane upon mankind.
I don't know who they are without pictures, but I do want to see the new V series with that chick from Firefly.
