James Cameron's sci-fi masterpiece is a rich, character-driven action film like no other, but that doesn't mean every single character in it is worthwhile.

Reinforcing the persistent cinematic stereotype that foster fathers and step-dads are total douchebags, John Connor's (Edward Furlong) whiny, lazy foster dad Todd (Xander Berkeley) didn't seem to much care for John or his dog Max, and was basically just set up for a gory demise once the T-1000 (Robert Patrick) arrives on the scene.

Cause Of Death: Stabbed through the throat by the T-1000, which is disguised as Todd's wife Janelle (Jenette Goldstein), after he interrupts the T-1000's phone call to John and complains about Max. No complaints here.
