In the firstTerminatormovie, Schwarzenegger played the T-800 as a villain trying to track down and kill Sarah Connor.
InTerminator Salvation, Schwarzeneggers likeness appeared for an uncanny-valley cameo.
InTerminator Genisys, he played a Terminator named Pops, who raised Sarah in an alternate timeline.
Hes been so integral to the franchises success thatevery attempt to replace Schwarzenegger asTerminators starhas been futile.
ButSchwarzeneggers most important role in theTerminatorfranchise wasnt a Terminator at all.
It shows off the bulky T-1 models before introducing Sergeant William Candy, played by Schwarzenegger.
Candy is the human model for the initial humanoid Terminator models.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machineswas the firstTerminatormovie with no involvement from the franchises creator, James Cameron.
Theres a bizarre but hilarious gag thatCandy is dubbed with a cartoonish American accent.
It explains why the Terminators look like the Austrian Oak in the goofiest way possible.
Wait, Is Sergeant William Candy Actually Canon To Terminator?
The scene isnt actually a part ofTerminator 3s final cut.
Its a special feature on its DVD release, but its not technically listed as a deleted scene.
The series explores themes of fate, artificial intelligence, and the moral implications of technological advancement.
