In an attempt to rebel
against the typecasting, the late 1980s became something of a career slump for him.
As producer / star he pushed
against typecasting in the 1991 medical thriller Extreme Measures, where he was excellent as an ER doctor who uncovers a ghoulish conspiracy involving exploitation of the homeless.
Back in the day some four years ago when Hein and I were actually speaking to each other, I suggested the newly - minted executive guard
against typecasting himself with self - serving repetition.
