James Remar Biography

James Remar was born December 31, 1953 and is an American actor. He has appeared in at least 98 different media projects including movies, video games, and TV shows.

Remar was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Remar has spent the majority of his film career playing villains.

Remar was cast as Corporal Hicks in the 1986 science-fiction/horror film Aliens (co-produced by Walter Hill), but was replaced by Michael Biehn shortly after filming began due to "creative differences" with director James Cameron (at least one piece footage featuring Remar made it into the final version of the film, when the marines enter the processing station and the camera pans down from the Alien nest, though Remar is not seen in close-up).

Other notable films include Drugstore Cowboy, Fear X, Boys on the Side, Hellraiser: Inferno, The Quest, Wedlock, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, Blade: Trinity, 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Girl Next Door and in 1998 he played the policeman that kept following the woman around in Psycho, he was also the star of the 1986 film Quiet Cool.
