10 Things You Didn't Know About Arnold Schwarzenegger

10. He Was Originally Wanted For The Part Of Kyle Reese

Arnold Schwarzenegger has become so synonymous with the Terminator that it's impossible to imagine him playing any other role in the franchise. Yet it could have been very different - if the producers had their way Arnie would have ended up playing the hero, Kyle Reese. "The more I read the script, the more I remembered I got fascinated by the Terminator €” the bad guy €” which I thought was the real cool guy," Schwarzenegger said when discussing the early development of the film. After seeing an early concept painting for the T-800 his mind was made up. "I looked at this painting and I said, 'I am the Terminator'." It's hard to imagine a Terminator movie with Arnie as a regular human being. As to who would have played the robot had he taken the part of Kyle Reese, that's something we can only speculate on.
