Finally, after being out of print for a decade, Harker Press has brought Lance Henriksen‘s autobiography, Not Bad For A Human, back to digital shelves. Co-written with author Joseph Maddrey, Not Bad For a Human was first published in 2011 and quickly garnered acclaim from critics and readers alike. Now, this new edition features a revised text, additional rare photos, and a new afterword.
With well over 150 films to his name, Lance Henriksen is a Hollywood icon. He’s best known as the empathetic android Bishop in Aliens and the intuitive criminal profiler Frank Black in the TV series Millennium. But, he’s also played gunfighters, gangsters, an astronaut, a vampire, a sadistic monk, Charles Bronson, and Abraham Lincoln. He’s mentored Tarzan, Evel Knievel, and the Antichrist, and fought Terminators, Aliens, Predators, Pumpkinhead, Pinhead, Bigfoot, Superman, the Autobots, Mr. T, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Steven Seagal. He’s worked with directors James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow, Sidney Lumet, Francois Truffaut, John Huston, Walter Hill, David Fincher, John Woo, Jim Jarmusch, and Sam Raimi. But this is just skimming the surface.
Henriksen is a true artist: a painter, a potter, and a creative collaborator who brings complexity and humanity to all of his work by drawing on real-life experiences that are often stranger than fiction. Not Bad For a Human celebrates the actor’s screen persona, film by film, and recounts the chaotic upbringing and early life experiences that shaped him, revealing the man behind the image.
Not Bad For A Human is available in paperback, hardcover, and eBook from Amazon.
