- He almost didn't get the role of Kyle Reese in The Terminator (1984) because at his first audition he spoke in a Southern accent. He had just come another audition for a stage production of "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" and had not been able to shake the accent, and the producers didn't want the character of Reese to seem regionalized. After calling and talking with Biehn's agent, they gave him another audition and he got the part.
- Children with Marsh: Caelan Michael (b. 1992) and Alexander (b. 19 March 2003).
- In James Cameron's The Terminator (1984), he gets bitten on the hand by another character. He has suffered the same on-screen injury in every James Cameron film he's been in: in The Terminator (1984) he is bitten by Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in Aliens (1986) it's Rebecca "Newt" Jorden (Carrie Henn), and in The Abyss (1989) Virgil "Bud" Brigman (Ed Harris) does the honors.
