Brian Thompson Actor

While still in school, Thompson was cast in The Terminator where he and Bill Paxton had minor roles as punk thugs. He followed that up with roles on Moonlighting, Otherworld, Street Hawk, and Knight Rider before landing the role in the Sylvester Stallone vehicle, Cobra (1986). Although the film was critically panned, it was a commercial success. The New York Times wrote of Thompson’s portrayal, “the archvillain, a character that is a cross between a James Bond fantasy villains such as Jaws and a raging psychopath, delivers a scorching monologue – a feat of linguistic sophistication that Cobra would have a hard time matching.”

Thompson landed another comedic role on the large ensemble series Key West, in 1993, which was filmed on location in the Florida Keys. The series lasted for 13 episodes. He played a new-age sheriff, which Thompson stated was the favorite role of his career. The character uttered the introductory line, “I’m Sheriff Cody Jeremiah Jefferson. I’m a direct descendant of Wyatt Earp and the Lone Ranger. My personal heroes are Ted Nugent, Buddha, and Davy Crockett. I am the last real lawman and the first peace officer of the 21st century.”

Thompson started his tenure on The X-Files in 1994 and followed that with roles in the science fiction fantasy series Seven Days, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Charmed. He made dozens of appearances in other series and films in between these. Thompson appeared in Dragonheart as the commander of the armies of David Thewlis’ villainous king in 1996. The fantasy film was a moderate success and starred Dennis Quaid and Sean Connery.

Thompson released The Extendables, a film he produced, wrote, and starred in and released via iTunes. He stated that it contained true-to-life instances from his own career through a parody of movies like The Expendables.
