| MICHAEL CONNELL BIEHN WAS BORN ON JULY 31st 1956 IN ANNISTON, ALABAMA. MICHAEL SPENT HIS FIRST 13 YEARS OF LIFE IN LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. THEN HE AND HIS FAMILY MOVED TO LAKE HAVASU CITY IN ARIZONA. MICHAEL WAS AWARDED A DRAMA SCHOLARSHIP AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA. HE HOWEVER LEFT 2 YEARS BEFORE THE END OF HIS COURSE TO PERSUE A CAREER IN ACTING. HE STARTED WITH SOME MODELLING, COMERICALS AND SMALL TV ROLES. HIS FIRST BIG ROLE WAS IN STANLEY KUBRICK'S "THE FAN" WHERE HE STALKED LAUREN BECALL. "THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE FOLLOWED IN 1983, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 1984 WHERE MICHAEL HIT THE BIG TIME. IN 1984, HE STARRED AS KYLE REESE IN JAMES CAMERON'S CLASSIC "THE TERMINATOR." HE BUILT A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH CAMERON, AND WAS LATER CAST IN CAMERON'S "ALIENS" IN 1986 AS CORPORAL HICKS, AND HE GAVE AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IN "THE ABYSS" AS PSYCHOTIC NAVY SEAL LT.

| IN 1990 HE STARRED IN ACTION MOVIE "NAVY SEALS" ALONGSIDE CHARLIE SHEEN, THIS MOVIE BECOMING A FAVOURITE AMONGST HIS FANS. IN 1991, HE STARRED IN THE MOUNTAINEERING SUSPENSE FILM "K2". IN 1993, HE TURNED IN AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AS THE EVIL JOHNNY RINGO IN "TOMBSTONE" WITH KURT RUSSELL AND VAL KILMER. SADLY, MICHAEL TURNED DOWN A ROLE IN "THE USUAL SUSPECTS" IN 1995, WHICH WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY GIVEN HIS CAREER MORE OF THE STATUS IT DESERVES. IN 1996, HE STARRED IN THE BLOCKBUSTER SMASH "THE ROCK" WHERE HE GAVE A DIGNIFIED PERFORMANCE AS COMMANDER ANDERSON. IN 1997, MICHAEL STARRED IN NBC's TV MINI SERIES "ASTEROID" WHICH WAS A HUGE SUCCESS, CAPTURING OVER 75 MILLION VIEWERS.

THE YEAR 2000 PROVED TO BE A GOOD YEAR FOR MICHAEL, HIS FILMS "CHERRY FALLS" AND "THE ART OF WAR" WERE BOTH RELEASED INTO CINEMAS WORLDWIDE. BOTH THESE FILMS PROVED TO BE A BIG HIT IN THE UK. IN 2001, MICHAEL'S FILM "MEGIDDO: OMEGA CODE 2" FELL AT THE CINEMAS DUE TO THE TRAGEDY OF SEPTEMBER 11th. HOWEVER, MICHAEL'S NEW FILM "CLOCKSTOPPERS" BY JONATHAN FRAKES LOOKS PROMISING.
