John Boylan
Biography
Prior to emerging onto the Hollywood scene as the reptilian leader of the Sleestaks in “Land of the Lost” (2009), character actor John Boylan had established himself as a well-known and respected performer in his native Canada. For over three decades, he was a near-constant presence in Canadian films and television shows, including several prominent cult classics like David Cronenberg’s classic sex-horror epic “Rabid” (1977). Despite his late prominence in the United States, Boylan was a steady, but unfamiliar presence on American television, appearing in a series of small screen movies and television series throughout the 1990s and 2000s. He finally made inroads with a popular supporting role as a racist cop in the stoner comedy, “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” (2004), which introduced Boylan to a wider audience. But it was his unrecognizable turn as the bug-eyed Sleestak that helped propel the talented Canadian into a bigger, brighter spotlight.
