Dude's been a regular and reliable TV actor. Not a superstar but seems to be doing well. Now in a high rated terrible CBS procedural so he's set for life.

Liked him as a fireman and Johnny Cash's dad. He's a good and relatively well-known actor. And Faculty was awesome. Thread is pointless.
 
Doesn't Linda have like 500 million in the bank after divorcing Cameron ?

I'm surprised she appears in anything and turns up in random awful films.

Seeing that shes now doing the convention circuits at minor cons even signing autographs and taking pics with fans, I doubt it.

Wait... The Faculty is considered a great movie, right?!

I enjoyed him quite a bit on the X-Filea, especially in the enjoyable 8th season.

I just watched that pilot. Why the hell did Shepard just kill him instead of trying to get him out of there? Did he really just look at his big ole' eyes and say "he's telling me nonverbally to kill him?"

That's exactly what happened. It comes back later as well.

That's the last 1.5 years. What exactly are you looking for? He's getting steady work all over the place.

I have always wanted him to be the heavy the true heavy in a long run tv show. I think he does his best work in that type of character and would be really interesting.
 
I see someone mentioned it above, but he's in the CBS show, Scorpion. He's kind of a major character too and that show was renewed I believe, so he's got solid work.

He's had a decent career. Although I don't think it matters how good your performance is in The Terminator movies, only person who made a career out of it is Arnold...I could maybe make a case for Linda Hamilton too.

Kristanna Loken fell off way harder than Robert Patrick. Actually, it feels like that franchise has more career horror stories than successes.
 
His career is fine. It's just that nostalgia glasses for T2 prevent everyone from seeing that. It did probably block his access to other roles though, since typecasting as well as studios fearing 'overlap' is a real threat to a career. Or at least it used to be. These days that seems to be much less, but as a result performances tend to be more shallow as well, from my perspective.

He always reminds me of Ray Liota. He occasionally gets big budget work, but mostly does a lot of crap/supporting roles.
 
He was in a season of The Sopranos as a gambling shitbag dad so there's that.

I thought he was going to be the next Gary Oldman but it turns out Gary just turned it up and had a great career.
 
These threads always make me laugh. They reveal that 1) people have no idea how to simply use imdb, and 2) that they have no idea that some actors' careers aren't made of constant highs.

He was in (and sucked) in the TV version of Dusk 'til Dawn. Well, he was fine, but what they turned his character into wasn't.
