Little known fact: before he was shredding balls like wheat, Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds was best known for yucking it up Hillbilly style in James Cameron’s underwater epic The Abyss. Hinds was a natural as Appalachian oil-rigger Sonny Dawson, and masterfully imbued the character with every ounce of his proud Alabamian upbringing. The film would go on to win the Academy Award for best visual effects, due in part to the CGI technology required to cover up the actor’s extensive face tats.
Also in The Abyss, a young Jamie Hyneman as Lieutenant Hiram “Hot” Coffey, the psychotic SEAL with HPNS. (Get it? Cameron named the jittery, high-strung guy COFFEY. He so subtle.) As you can see, the future Mythbuster had already perfected his patented scowl and taken to wearing brimless hats. His mustache, however, had yet to come into its own.
Oh yeah- and if those aliens were so smart, why didn’t they know their technology would fuck with the subs electronics? The whole incident could easily have been avoided. Jerks.
Unless we’re watching 2 different movies I believe Michael Biehn played Lt. Coffey, not Mr. Hyneman.
Nope. Although the resemblance is uncanny, that’s a common misconception.
Are we both talking about the same film? If you’re referring to the James Cameron film, with all due respect, I think you’re wrong. After going back and watching, the credits indicate Michael Biehn. Third name in, between Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Leo Burmester.
That’s a typo.
It is not Jamie Hyneman from Mythbusters. Im watching Mythbusters as Im typing. All I had to do is compare 3 things to confirm it. Eyes, ear and nose… And they all have a different shape!!
Hope you do find a real picture of him in his younger days cos I wanna see what he looks like without that beret LOL
