Just read this too

One of the biggest questions swirling around TERMINATOR SALVATION has been: how are they going to deal with T-800 character Arnold portrayed in the first three films? Would he/it appear at all? If so, would he/it be a CGI Arnold, an actual cameo by Arnold himself, or...what?

Now we have that answer, thanks to an article published yesterday in the Clinton News Record. Seems the role has been recast & will be assumed by another Austrian bodybuilder named Roland Kickinger.

Kickinger has numerous credits under his belt (ranging from LETHAL WEAPON 4 to HOME IMPROVEMENT to...believe it or not..TEAM KNIGHT RIDER) and once trained with Schwarzenegger - even playing him in a recent A&E biopic.

SPOILERS BELOW!!!

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.”

I actually think Kickinger does kind of look like Arnie particularly from the first Terminator film so I think it could be a good solution...I thought though that they would have went with CGI...for me its the story and plot and the war action with John Connor against the robots that is the important bit

That's a crafty way of getting round Arnie not being in the film! He does look like a young Arnie and it's spooky he's an Austrian bodybuilder too

....wonder if he sounds like Arnie?!

I wouldn't be surprised if he did sound like him too

not that I can't see him saying all too much
