Michael Barryman is a character actor who is most well known for his work in "One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest" and, "The Hills Have Eyes". He has done several other films and some television. He was born on September 4, 1948, and has been acting since 1975. He was born with a rare genetic condition called hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, which means he is absent hair, sweat glands, or fingernails. He also developed craniosynostosis when young and had to undergo cranial reconstructive surgery.
His father was a U.S. Navy neurosurgeon who was deployed to the Hiroshima fallout zone in the wake of the atomic bombing.
He is 76 and lives with his wife on a fruit orchard and horse ranch in California.

At least he is blessed with a good life. I wonder if his genetic problems could be the result of his mom being with his dad in that fallout zone.

The chromosomal changes could have happened on the father's side of the equation, y'know.
