The Terminator: Almost Played by The Juice?
Believe it or not, Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't always destined to be the iconic cyborg assassin. Actor O.J. Simpson was actually considered for the role of the Terminator in James Cameron's 1984 sci-fi classic.
Arnold himself revealed this surprising fact in a 2019 interview, stating that Simpson was even the "first cast Terminator." Apparently, Cameron even drew concept art featuring Simpson's face for the character. Schwarzenegger has a copy of this artwork hanging in his office, a reminder of the film's alternate casting path.
Studio executives reportedly saw potential in Simpson, likely due to his imposing physique and athletic background. However, James Cameron ultimately felt Simpson wouldn't be believable as a relentless killing machine. This decision proved fortuitous, as Schwarzenegger's stoic portrayal and imposing presence became synonymous with the Terminator.
The idea of Simpson as the Terminator remains a fascinating alternate reality for fans. While it's hard to imagine the film without Schwarzenegger, the casting story underscores the director's creative vision and the impact casting choices can have on a movie's legacy.
