Roland Kickinger

Roland Kickinger has officially announced that he has landed the coveted title role in the upcoming Terminator Salvation films. He explained that he'll be playing the role originated by Arnold Schwarzenegger "in the first Terminator ... but 20 years before, so it establishes how the Terminator [came] about."...

He further elaborated that there was a particularly "strong scene in the film where John Connor for the first time meets the Terminator, and he doesn't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy."

Turns out that it won't be the first time Kickinger does an Arnie impersonation: he starred in an A&E Schwarzenegger biofilm in 2005 titled See Arnold Run. And, he's had the one-on-one experience to do it right, as the pair were former training buddies back in their body-builder days. Like Arnold, Kickinger was also born in Austria, and both have held the title of Mr. Universe.
