John Connor's Dad: Bale Rant "Kinda Sad"

Fighting against Skynet is one thing -- but when it comes to screaming at a DP on set, certain "Terminator" stars don't always have each other's backs.

Michael Biehn: Click to watch
Michael Biehn, who played John Connor's dad in the original "Terminator," says Christian Bale's "T4" tirade never would have flown with him -- and that Bale's gotta remember he's only playing "f**king John Connor."

16. Why are people still talking about this? Christian Bale is an excellent actor, and I don't blame him one bit for the tirade. It takes intense concentration to stay in character, especially if it's a dramatic scene and I would fly off the handle too if someone was sneaking around in the back knocking things over and ruining the moment. Every movie he's done he's absolutely put his all into the role and in my opinion he's never done a bad film. I even liked Equilibrium and (shudders) Newsboys. I'm not going to lie though he seems like a pent up person, not a bad person but well deserving of a vacation!

17. Hey TMZ I have some friends who worked with Bale on the Terminator movie as electricians and said that the DP (Director of Photography) that Bale went off on is a complete douchebag and fully DESERVED the ass whipping Bale gave him. According to my sources he is always walking around during takes and generally not respecting the actors moment when the film is rolling. This is a huge no-no on the set and Bale finally freaked out on him only after he was adjusting a light during a take.

19. I loved him in "Tombstone"! He played Johnny Ringo perfectly. You could just see the madness in his eyes.

21. First of all,this prick is jealous because he has'nt gotten any work since Terminator,and he's obviously bitter because he was not asked to reprise his role for Terminator Salvation!!!!!!! So I can see why he jumped at the op to dis my favorite actor. If they had a show called, "Where The F*ck Are They Now? He and Brandon Routh would be the first guests on the damn show!!!! "He would'nt have talked to me like that?" Oh please,say that to Christian's face,you freakin HAS BEEN!!!!!!! Thanks for your opinion,now hurry up and get back to Mickey D's,your break is up!!!!!!!

23. He was in Grindhouse (2007) and also did a great job in that. He's definitely one of the great under appreciated action heroes.

24. I love how he says, "He wouldn't talk to me that way"...sure he would. And you wouldn't do anything about it either, but talk to the paparoo about it later on the street, like you are doing now, so that you can get some publicity. What celebrity does that now? It's not the Today Show or Oprah, it's TMZ for crying out loud. He's giving them an interview? On the street, in the rain, about the govenator? Hahahaha!

Ummm....you realize that #21 could not possibly be Bale. Every other word is not the F-word. And you know how Bale gets when he gets upset. And that person is clearly upset. However....Bale's Mistress does have a point. Biehn is late for his shift. LOL

27. Really cool guy. I like "real people" like him.

28. Biehn is awesome! He was great in the first (and best!) Terminator and also Aliens and every other movie he's been in. He still looks fantastic. I like Bale, too - he's an intense guy but no one on the crew deserves a tirade like that, how embarrassing, in front of everyone! I would have walked off the set and filed a lawsuit. John Connor's dad, you rock!

29. More, please!!!!

I want to see more of this man. Christian Bale can go talk to a wall.
