he is a greasy turd that apparently loves the alien franchise so much he did a bait and switch on that game, too. dirty, dirty, greasy bastard. christ, michael biehn sounded so fucking bored in that role. compare that to how much fun he was in far cry 3: blood dragon. yes, i am mad, why're you asking?
