ought he was fab as Overdog in Spacehunter:Adventures in the Forbidden Zone !!!
Wait - does this mean you've seen Terminator 4? Because if not, what if he's terrible in it? Then you'll look silly.
as if he didn't look terrible in Highlander 2.
Generally though he does well. My favourite role of his is Darkseid.
Red JimSmash, you're taking this post too seriously. :)
ha, fantastic!
Don't forget Tyler, from Heavy Metal 2000.

He bought a Shelby Mustang from my uncle many many years ago, and signed my mom's VHS copy of Top Gun.
I'm really surprised that no-one has mentioned:
Sam Fisher
Michael has provided the voice of a character played by millions of gamers worldwide.
Great list! I find Ironside dreadful, yet always smile when he pops up in a movie. :)
I always liked him when he donned a wig and played animation executive Linda Simensky:

What about the Watchers?!?! And Major Payne! LOL I love Michael Ironside!
