#4 I enjoyed him in the campy Albert Pyun directed film Knights(1993) where he played a vigilante post apocalypse cyborg.

#6 So I have to ask. Kris was a paratrooper and ranger, no easy feat. Then he went to flight school. All of this took quiet a bit of time, let alone his combat experience. Why did he get out? Was it the music? I have a lot of respect for him, just wondering.

#7 49 Pan, IIRC he did it as sort of an FU to his father.

#8 Pan, I read something this am that said he quit because they assigned him to teach literature at the Point. Family seriously miffed but according to the article he didn't resign to annoy them, He resigned because the Army annoyed him.

#9 Funny. Whenever they talk about his film credits, they never mention "The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea"... a vehicle to allow Sarah Miles to take her clothes off,... again.
