AVP reveals him to be the human inspiration for the Bishop android in Aliens, also played by Henriksen.
The connection trips up a little, however, when it comes to Alien3, in which Henriksen portrayed an additional character who claimed he was the human inspiration for Bishop and who in the extended DVD cut bleeds red, thus making clear he can't be an android, as they bleed only white.
