News > How "Terminator Salvation" Is Dealing With The Arnold Issue...

One of the big questions fans have about "Terminator Salvation" is what will happen with Arnold's character the T-800. Ain't It Cool reveals Austrian bodybuilder, Roland Kickinger, will play the T 800. 

A direct quote from Clinton News Record, makes it official.

"This month, however, Kickinger begins filming what is likely the role of his life to date, as his portion of Terminator Salvation begins to take shape. “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.”"

Kickinger has numerous credits ranging from LETHAL WEAPON 4 to HOME IMPROVEMENT to…believe it or not..TEAM KNIGHT RIDER. He even trained with Schwarzenegger and played him in a recent A&E biopic.
