Trivia

Decided to become an actor at the age of seven after seeing Spartacus (1960).

Was the voice in the 2009-2010 Lexus car commercials.

Was originally cast as "Hicks" in Aliens (1986), but had to be replaced early into filming. He can be seen from the back as the Marines walk along a corridor, but only because the in-camera miniature of the set had been junked, and the scene was too expensive to re-shoot.

Gained a minor cult following after playing "Ajax" in The Warriors (1979).

He played an adoptive father 2 times. In Dexter, he was a cop trying to make the world a better place and raised a serial killer and trained him to kill the killers that the justice system couldn't catch. In Black Lightning, he played an agent for an evil organization who raised a superhero trying to make up for what he had done.

He was given an honorary name "Standing 20" during the filming of Windwalker (1980) by the Cheyenne.

His family surname was originally "Remarman". His paternal grandparents were Russian Jewish immigrants, while his mother was English.

Most of his characters are vicious and cocky, if not evil; in real life, however, he is known as a proud father and a loving husband.

Made an impressive Broadway debut playing Richard Gere's lover in "Bent" in 1979.

Enjoys photography, scuba diving, and golf in his spare time.

Has worked four times with Mario Van Peebles: in The Cotton Club (1984), Blowback (2000), Guardian (2001) and Sharpshooter (2007).

Trained at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse.

Grew up in Newton, Mass. Attended John Ward Elementary School.

The actress who handcuffed him to that park bench in The Warriors (1979) was Mercedes Ruehl, also in her second film. One of Ruehl's friends, who was a "Washington Post" reporter, wrote about seeing the film and being disappointed at her friend's harsh role.

Probably best known for the recurring TV role of "Richard," the compulsively philandering jet-set boyfriend of Kim Cattrall, in Sex and the City (1998).

Friend of Marcus Henderson.

Attended Newton North High School.

Born on exactly the same date as Jane Badler of V (2009) fame.
