Piper, as you may know, appeared in many films and TV shows before he died last year and the role he will be remembered for is the one on John Carpenter’s They Live. His role as John Nada was more than a role of some typical badas* and he could very easily carry his weight with most of the 80s action characters. He also made a great guest stint as a professional wrestler/weirdo on a couple of episodes of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
