Michael Berryman

Michael Berryman is a wildly unique and unforgettable actor, born on September 4th, 1948 in Los Angeles. Suffering from a condition called ectodermal dysplasia, he has no sweat glands, hair, or fingernails.

You might at first glance misjudge him – failing to see the talented actor inside. He looks less like an actor and more like the sort of guy who invites a date back to his parent’s basement to show off his Klingon costume.

But that would be underestimating this artisan. He is one of the most prolific character actors in Hollywood history.

His unique visage and unparalleled work ethic have produced one of the most prolific movie careers imaginable, starring in such mainstream films as One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) and the 1985 John Hughes directed movie Weird Science, and following that up with cult favorites like The Barbarian Brothers and Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991).

Berryman is an animal lover, living on a wolf sanctuary for over a decade, and is married.
