Preparing himself to star in ALIEN VS. PREDATOR, actor Lance Henriksen spoke with Fangoria about the upcoming project. Henriksen, who first faced one-half of the extraterrestrial foes in James Cameron's ALIENS, let go a slight story spoiler that fans have wondered about ever since it was announced that he was cast in the picture.

"I don't play Bishop in this movie, I play the man who created him," the actor revealed to Fangoria. Henriksen plays Charles Wayland, a billionaire that shares one of the same surnames of the company that's been behind the human casualties in the first three ALIEN pictures, Wayland-Yutani. Ever since the name of Henriksen's character was announced, ALIEN fans have been wondering if Charles Wayland would be connected to the Weyland-Yutani corporation -- and if there was more to the casting of the same actor who played the part of the synthetic Bishop in ALIENS and one of the ruthless company's founders. Henriksen's revelation means there is more to this role, and his playing of it, than meets the eye.
