Dyson's death is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in a movie.
How did he die…or dy?

Dyson's death is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in a movie.
I've been real into movie reactions lately. You can watch someone's reaction to a whole movie or a clip of different people reacting to the same scene. The Dyson death reactions is just a reminder of how devastating that whole party of the movie is.

Nope. Speed was his best role, you imbecile

He was an asshole in Speed.

Yep, totally agree!

Yes!! He will always be remembered as Miles Dyson, chief engineer of Cyberdyne Systems.

I'm a bit disappointed that he didn't reprise his role in Genisys. Until the credits rolled, I never realized Courtney B. Vance was playing Dyson in the movie. Had the filmmakers hired Morton, I would have recognized who he was right away.

I wonder why not Joe Norton should reprise his role as Mile Dyson in Terminator Genisys? He survived because of cyberdyne system did not destroy in 1994 (plot of Terminator 2: Judgement Day) when Kyle and Sarah jumped to 2017 in time travel in Terminator Genisys. Also Devaughn Nixon (little Danny in T2) should play adult Danny Dyson (Mile's son) in Terminator Genisys as he is already young adult. All actors and actresses are different except only one is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

For me, he'll always be Henry Deacon. It's odd. I remember Miles Dyson just fine. I first watched the movie 20 years ago, when I was young. And I only just discovered Henry was Miles today despite being able to picture Miles if somebody mentioned him. So he
should
be Miles for me, but he's stuck being Henry. There are worse legacies. Like, say, being best remembered for "Blues Brothers 2000". Another role of his which I just discovered today as well. Granted, I've only seen it once, so that's forgivable.

He'll always be Scratch's Assistant to me. He ate that role up.
Even when I see T2 I'm waiting him to bust out "Hell hounds on your trail, boy - hell hounds on your trail!"
'Then' and 'than' are different words - stop confusing them.

Agree! he may forever be Miles Dyson to us.

Hell Hounds got you Willy Brown!!

He was once asked to appear on Greg Gutfeld's Red Eye in character as Miles Dyson but refused. It would have been a very cool episode to watch .:)

Joe Morton is such a great actor. some may know him as Mac from Speed, or the brother from another planet or Sherman Reese in The Astronaut1c84's Wife but he IS Miles Dyson. EVERY role he's in is awesome!
"I am the ultimate badass, you do not wanna *beep* wit' me!" Hudson in Aliens.

Until I watched Eureka, he was always that crazy scientist from Smallville.
Now he'll always be Henry.

StrangeI'd forgotten he was in Terminator 2. I haven't seen it for so many years. For me the role I always associate him with is the Brother from Another Planet. Amazing, memorable performance and
the man doesn't utter a single sound in 2 hours.
Admittedly, I need to see more of his work.

Miles Dyson indeed
sorry I tuned you out

I'll always remember him for "Blues Brothers 2000." He did such a wonderful job with his songs on the soundtrack.
Thanks, Joe!
Don't ask me what I think of you;
I might not give the answer that you want me to.

• Fleetwood Mac, "Oh Well"

Yeah, perhaps a little more fortunate distinction title than one of those guys that are in everything (like James Cromwell). Although I've watched him hundreds of times as Miles Dyson in Terminator 2 (my favourite film) I think I like him best on Smallville, he brought an impressive level of energy and eccentricity to the role of Dr. Hamilton. Also great in Of Mice & Men. Terrific actor.

Good call on "Executive Decision". I had forgotten about his role in that movie.
btw, I use Henry Deacon's quote from Eureka in my signature. It just about sums up the scientific process and can be applied to life in general.
"Mistakes make exceptional possible. Sometimes the wrong path leads to the right path."

I just saw one of the other movies, beside T2, where he is left to deal with a bomb - "Executive Decision". There is at least one other movie where he plays that equivalent role.

Like many other actors, this man's defining work are his collaborations with the great John Sayles. The Brother from Another Planet and Lone Star.

Finally saw Brother from Another Planet. He did an excellent job, but he'll always be Miles Dyson to me too.
