When Orion Studio executives were casting the first Terminator movie some forty years ago, they wanted the role of the murderous cyborg to go to O.J. Simpson. However, director James Cameron (pictured on the right above) decided that the public would not be able to accept in its mind the concept of Simpson being a killer, so he instead picked a monosyllabic Austrian actor whose prior screen experience consisted primarily of wearing a loincloth while decapitating bad people. It turned out, of course, to be an inspired choice.
