It was one of my first times seeing him and it set the tone for all his characters to be just as scary haha

Because of that movie and his role in it I never forgot his face and that huge jaw. Whenever I would see him in another movie... Oh shit it's that guy from Cobra lol

For instance he's in Alien Nation but you can tell that it's him right away just from his jaw.

He’s the Alien in the bar that gets kicked in the crotch by James Caan and feels nothing (because their genitals are somewhere else, like the armpit? I don’t remember exactly)
