Biography
Son physique imposant l'a souvent cantonné aux rôles de soldats ou de « méchant ». Il est ainsi coutumier des films d'action, mais a aussi joué dans des comédies. Il joue souvent des personnages liés à l'application de la loi. Son rôle le plus populaire reste celui du Sergent Mac dans Predator (1987). En 1991, il réalise Rage in Harlem, qui est sélectionné en compétition pour la Palme d'or au Festival de Cannes.Best films
