In an early draft of "Alien 3" written by William Gibson, Biehn's character Hicks (who had survived the events of "Aliens") was to become the protagonist, replacing Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver). Walter Hill and David Giler wrote the final script, which had Hicks killed off in the opening scene. Biehn, upon learning of his character's demise, demanded and received almost as much money for the use of his likeness in one scene as he had been paid for his role in "Aliens". Biehn reprised the role of Hicks by voicing the character in the video game "" and again in 2019 for an audio drama adaptation of Gibson's un-filmed script for "Alien 3" released by Audible. Biehn played the role of Johnny Ringo in "Tombstone" with the showdown scene with Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday.
