Matthias Hues
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthias Hues (born February 14, 1959 in Waltrop, Germany) is a sportsman turned actor.
His impressive stature has made him a staple of genre releases geared towards the video and cable markets.
The first role Hues received in Hollywood was a part in the film No Retreat, No Surrender 2. The script was rewritten at the last minute when Jean-Claude Van Damme refused to reprise his role, and his character was made into Hues’ Yuri.
His most famous role was as an alien in the 1990 film I Come in Peace in which he uttered the famous line, “I come in peace.” Since then, Hues has appeared largely in action films as henchmen or as intimidating villains in B-movies. He has also played one of the Klingon generals in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Hues has also possibly been cast as Fujin in the third Mortal Kombat movie; however, rumors about this film’s details have repeatedly proven to be unreliable.
