Arnold admits that his first desire was to play Kyle Reese. “Medavoy came up to me at a screening and told me that they already had the Terminator cast with O.J. Simpson”, said Arnold. On the other hand, Cameron was also not having him in plans for the part until the two met one day for lunch. “I went to lunch to pull ‘creative differences,’ but I actually liked him.” It was then that he made a decision of having Arnold as T-800.
