Michael Ironside

"I like to play bad guys, since good guys are always beaten up several times during the movie. Bad guys are beaten only once, in the end." Ironside came to notice in the Canadian sci-fi horror classic Scanners (1981) in which he played the mind-controlling, head-blowing megalomaniac Daryl Revok, which led to a dynamic, infamous career of out-and-out baddies or edgy anti-heroes. Michael got his facial scar by going through a plate glass door while drunk. He felt it could help him get interesting roles, so never had plastic surgery to correct it. Ironside is a method actor who keeps in character between takes. Michael attended the Ontario College of Art and worked in the construction industry before beginning his acting career.

This seemed wrong so I've done what I could with what limited resources I have (Much of my time is with my family and newborn son). I'm sorry but at this time I'm in no position to forward any of your personal messages and/or queries to Mr. Ironside. Any suggestions/advice from kindred much appreciated. Thank you." -+-+-+-+-I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
