One of the greatest twists in the original 1979 Alien isn’t just that there are murderous aliens on the loose with acid for blood, but that you might have a secret robot at your job that you didn’t even know about. As Ash in Alien, the late, great Ian Holm brought a crucial layer to the believability and thrill of the classic film. Not only was the horrible Xenomorph on the loose, but one synthetic crewmember wanted it there.
