Biography
Born Henry Garfield in 1961, he started singing in the DC punk band, State of Alert, as a teenager. Then he changed his name and became legendary as a front man for Black Flag and his own Rollins Band. Rollins performs and records spoken word, and writes books for his own publishing company. He got his start acting in a movie short by underground artist Raymond Pettibon, but really started acting after doing several ads and MTV appearances. The tattooed, muscle-bound man with the gravelly voice was a natural for tough-guy roles, and soon found himself playing cops and bodyguards in Hollywood features. Rollins seems convinced that there's nothing he isn't capable of, and so far there's little to refute the claim.
