Scootray Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 According to IMDB, which I'd believe over Wikipedia any day, the answer is Jrgen Prochnow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvin Starclusk Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Surely it must have been Seagal? Any man who can utter the words "I'll tell you a funny story. When Bruce Lee's boy died, I went to the funeral..." must surely be considered too nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester1470 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Del's right, Lance Henrickson (who was great in Millennium) was also a strong contender and was cast I think until the studio bosses convinced Cameron to use Arnie, Henrickson's still in it as a cop, and got his role in Aliens because he was taken off the lead in Terminator.

CheersStuartStuart - Del is right indeed.I knew about Henricksen or (Lance "Aliens" Henricksen as he's referred to in movie mags), so I was surprised to see Simpsons name metioned. I just thought it was ironic that they considered him "too nice to play a cold-blooded killer" when 10 years later he (allegedly) became just that.Henricksen would have made a good Terminator, but I guess Arnie's bulk and Teutonic monotone won the day - and he was great!My mates and I reckoned that the name "Sarah Connor" - was in-joke by the director and scriptwriters as An-nee is completely incapable of pronouncing it "I am looooking foh Say-a Co-nna" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
