Richard Lynch (February 12, 1940 – June 19, 2012) was an Irish-American actor best known for portraying villains in films and television.
His film credits included The Sword and the Sorcerer, Invasion USA, The Seven-Ups, Scarecrow, Little Nikita, Bad Dreams, God Told Me To, and Halloween. He appeared in science fiction productions, including Battlestar Galactica (as Wolfe) and its sequel series Galactica 1980 (as Commander Xaviar). He also appeared in such shows as Starsky and Hutch, T. J. Hooker, Blue Thunder, Airwolf, The A-Team, Charmed and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Richard Hugh Lynch was born on February 12, 1940 (sometimes incorrectly cited as 1936) in Brooklyn, New York to Irish Catholic parents. His younger brother is actor Barry Lynch. Lynch served in the United States Marine Corps for four years.
Lynch's distinct scarred appearance made him a popular nemesis, and he can be seen in more than 100 film and television performances. The scars came from a 1967 incident in New York's Central Park in which, under the influence of drugs, he set himself on fire, burning more than 70 percent of his body. He spent a year in recovery, quit drugs and ultimately began training at The Actors Studio and at the HB Studio. He often played a "heavy" in features, including Scarecrow, which marked his film debut, The Seven-Ups, Bad Dreams, and Little Nikita.
The Germanic first or given name Richard derives from German, French, and English "ric" (ruler, leader, king) and "hard" (strong, brave), and it therefore means "powerful leader". Nicknames include "Dick", "Dickie", "Rich", "Richie", "Rick", "Ricky", "Rickey", and others.
"Richard" is a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Dutch. It can also be used as a French, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian name.

Full Title according to the VHS box: "Choppers Wars: The Integral Role The Helicopter Played During The Vietnam War". Here is a rare Huey documentary from 1988. Released by Karl James Productions, Inc., this is a rare bird indeed. It is narrated by the late B-Movie actor/badguy Richard Lynch (the guy from 1985's Invasion USA as Col. Rostov, the antagonist to Chuck Norris' character). This docu is basically about the UH-1 Huey, and in some spots the data and facts are spot on, and in others it's meh. Fake sound effects are par the course. It doesn't have the level of production value as some Wings or History Channel docu about the Huey or Vietnam, but Chopper Wars is pretty entertaining overall. I'm wondering if this video may be one of the earliest "Nam-era Copter documentary" before the ...

The intrepid cast members face their deepest fears and tackle everything from wild animals to rock rappelling as they journey through some of the world's most unforgiving wildernesses. Pushing their minds and bodies to the limit to complete their journey, they experience the excitement of being dropped into uncharted territory and tackling the wilderness head-on, which is daunting and draining, but also very empowering.
