Actor Lance Henriksen has had a long history with the Aliens and Aliens Vs Predator movie franchise. Today Destructoid reports that the actor will lend both his voice and likeness to the upcoming new Aliens Vs Predator game from publisher Sega. His role, while technically new, is actually somewhat familiar to fans of the franchise.

Besides Sigourney Weaver, Henriksen is the only actor to appear in more than one film in the Aliens series. In Aliens he was the good hearted android Bishop and in Alien 3 he was the android's human but evil creator (known in the credits only as Bishop II). He also crossed over into the first Aliens Vs Predator movie playing the role of Charles Bishop Weyland, the human billionaire and and the co-founder of the Weyland Yutani Corporation, the corrupt company mentioned in most of the Aliens films.

His new role in the Aliens Vs Predator FPS game, developed by Rebellion, is that of Karl Bishop Weyland, the descendant of his character in the first AVP movie. Yes we know; we need charts and graphs to keep up as well. Henriksen is no stranger to voice work in games; he handles the voice of General Shepard in Modern Warfare 2 and is narrating the Holonet timeline videos on the Star Wars: The Old Republic web site.
