Roland Kickinger Is Cast as The T-800 in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins
It has just been revealed who will play Arnold Schwarzenegger's former iconic character. According to Clinton News-Record, former Austrian bodybuilder Roland Kickinger will play the T-800 (the same model that Schwarzenegger portrayed in all three previous films) in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. WARNING: There may be some potential spoilers in Kickinger's quotes below, so read at your own risk.
"There's a very strong scene in the film where John Connor for the first time meets the Terminator, and he doesn't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy," said Kickinger.
"It's Arnold's character in the first Terminator. That's basically my role, but 20 years before, so it establishes how the Terminator [came] about."
This isn't the first time Kickinger has stepped into the California Governor's shoes, though. He portrayed Schwarzenegger himself in the 2005 biopic, See Arnold Run.
