Biography
Canadian actor Michael Ironside has specialized in tough, steel-fisted villainous film roles. Ironside played the ruthless brain-splitting cult leader in Scanners (1981), the unethical cop in Cross Country (1982) and the megalomaniacal cyborg in Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1984), among other wicked characterizations. He was also seen as Dick Wetherly in Top Gun, 1986's biggest hit, and as General Katana in Highlander II: The Quickening, 1991's biggest disappointment. He also appeared in such TV series as "E.R." and "Seaquest DSV:2032."
Came to notice in the Canadian sci-fi horror classic Scanners (1981) in which he played the mind-controlling, head-blowing megalomaniac Daryl Revok, which led to a dynamic, infamous career of out-and-out baddies or edgy anti-heroes.
Has a daughter Findlay (born 1998) by second wife Karen.
His brother is a high school shop teacher in his hometown of Toronto, Canada.
Father of Adrienne Ironside.
Said in an interview he is mostly recognized by the public from his voice over work in the Splinter Cell (2002) (VG) series.
His daughter Adrienne is from a previous marriage.
Moved to Los Angeles, California, USA in 1982.
Is, to the day, 30 years older than Christina Ricci.
Was for some time attached to play the title role in RoboCop (1987), but the crew had to give up on the idea when they realized that he would have to have a much smaller frame to fit into the costume envisaged.
