Ash is a fictional character in the film Alien (1979) portrayed by actor Ian Holm[1] who, while known in the UK as a stage actor, was at the time unknown to American audiences. Ash serves as the secondary antagonist of the first film.[2] The character is the science officer of the Nostromo, who breaks quarantine by allowing Kane, a member of the crew, back on board after he has been infected by an alien life form.[1] It is later discovered that Ash is not human as he appears, but a Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2[3] android, a sleeper agent who is acting upon secret orders to bring back the alien lifeform and considers the crew and cargo to be expendable.[1]
