Richard Lynch...A Face You'll Never Forget
Richard Lynch was a superior actor who elevated nearly any movie with his presence. But what set him on a path to cinematic immortality was an accident in Central Park in 1967. He set himself on fire in the middle of an LSD trip. Massive reconstructive surgery followed. This left him with a distinctive scarred appearance, and made him an ideal candidate for being cast as villains in sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and action films. He also became a favorite among cult film fans. His films while polarizing, were entertaining to his loyal followers. Also, most all of his films had an abundance of great leading actors too. All loved working with him. Richard, who passed on June 19, 2012, is gone, but not forgotten. Which one of his many Movie or TV roles on this list is your favorite?

As Anne tells his anxious followers that he didn't make it, he walks up behind her, and they believe that it is a miracle. Duncan is appalled that an Immortal would violate the rules like that and goes looking for Kirin, who he once knew as Cage, an Immortal who always put his greed ahead of the good of mankind.

In flashback to 1937 Spain, Duncan is covering the Spanish Civil War with Cage, who sells out the partisans to the fascists. In flashback to 1975 Cambodia, Duncan is trying to get a group of orphans out of danger, but Cage refuses to unload his drugs from a chopper to evacuate the children.John Kirin / Cage
