Earl Boen has died. A veteran character and voice actorsBoen will be most familiar to film audiences for his role in the first three Terminator <\/em>movies, playing the endlessly tormented Dr. Peter Silberman in The Terminator<\/em><\/span>, T2: Judgment Day<\/em><\/span>and Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines<\/em><\/span>. With a track record spanning sitcoms, dramas, video games, action movies, and pretty much anything else an actor might’ve put his talents toward in the second half of the 20th century, Boen accrued almost 300 credited roles across a 40-plus year career. per variety<\/em><\/span>, he died this week in Hawaii, after being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer last year. Boen was 81.<\/p>\n

boen made his name first and foremost in TV comedy: His early picture, from the mid-’70s onward, is dotted with many of the biggest sitcoms of the era, including MASH<\/em>, Three’s Company<\/em>, Barnaby Jones<\/em>, and more. Even as a young man, Boen’s hangdog face and gift for the dour made him a regular presence on shows looking to inject a little wry, glum wit into their ensembles for an episode; although he occasionally settled into a longer role (including a single-season stint on It’s A Living <\/em>in 1981), Boen would remain a \u201cfreelancer\u201d for most of his career.<\/p>\n

A brief foray into sci-fi movie in 1980 would pay big career dividends, though; Battle Beyond The Stars<\/em><\/span> <\/em>might mostly be remembered today as Roger Corman’s shockingly blatant attempt to rip-off Star Wars<\/em>but it was also where Boen\u2014playing the lead member of a crew of pancake makeup-covered clones\u2014first worked with its art director, an amateur filmmaker and model maker named James Cameron. Four years later, Cameron would cast Boen in his feature film debut, The Terminator<\/em>.<\/p>\n
