Michael Berryman was born September 4, 1948.
Michael John Berryman is an American actor. Berryman was born with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia which is a rare condition leaving him with no sweat glands, hair, fingernails or teeth. As a result of this condition, his unusual physical appearance has allowed Berryman to make a career out of portraying characters in horror movies and B movies. He came to prominence with his roles in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest in 1975 and The Hills Have Eyes in 1977. He has appeared in several television shows, such as episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and The X-Files.
Berryman played Pluto in Wes Craven’s 1977 horror film The Hills Have Eyes and the 1985 sequel The Hills Have Eyes Part II. He has also made appearances in the science fiction and fantasy movies My Science Project (1985), Weird Science (1985), Armed Response (1986), Evil Spirits (1990), The Guyver (1991) and “Brutal” (2007). He appeared in the 1975 Academy Award-winning drama One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. His time on set for The Hills Have Eyes proved difficult for him, since during the 4-month shoot, temperatures in the desert routinely surpassed 100 degrees, and without sweat glands, he had to take special precautions in order to avoid suffering heat stroke.
He had a role in The Crow (1994) as “The Skull Cowboy”, Eric Draven’s guide to the land of the living. Berryman’s scenes were cut from the original theatrical release, but can be found on some DVD releases under “Deleted Scenes”.
He has appeared in episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and The X-Files. He appeared in the 1985 Mötley Crüe video for “Smokin’ In the Boys Room”, as well as the introduction to the band’s song “Home Sweet Home”. He also portrayed the devil in two episodes of Highway To Heaven: “The Devil and Jonathan Smith” (1985) and “I Was a Middle-Aged Werewolf” (1987).
Berryman starred in the British-Canadian horror film Below Zero (2012).
