Trivia
Daughters: Sage Ariel (12 October 1999), Alcamy (b. 1987).

His father was a fisherman nicknamed 'Icewater.'
Parents divorced when he was two.

Served in the Navy.
There was talk of having him reprise his role as Detective Vukovich in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. The idea was to have his character bound in a wheelchair (after having survived the events of the original film). That idea, however, was eventually rejected.
Was considered for the title role in The Terminator, but was ruled out when it was decided that Arnold Schwarzenegger (who was reading for the role of Kyle Reese) would be the perfect choice as the Terminator.
Has had at least two franchise characters written for him over the years. James Cameron originally wrote The Terminator character with him in mind, as did Victor Salva with the Creeper from the Jeepers Creepers movies.
Dropped out of school at 12.
In addition to having faced off against lethal aliens in the "Alien" and "Predator" films, he has also appeared in a film about more benevolent aliens: Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
As a young man, he hitchhiked across the United States.
He was James Cameron's original choice for the title role in The Terminator when the concept was for a machine that could blend into a crowd. Cameron had even made concept drawings of Henriksen as the Terminator. When the concept was changed, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast, Henriksen was re-cast as Det. Vukovich. When Cameron made Aliens, he cast Henriksen as Bishop, an android.
With his role in Alien vs. Predator (2004), he joined Bill Paxton as the only other actor in Hollywood to have been killed by an Alien, a Predator, and a Terminator.
