The Clinton News-Record has revealed that former bodybuilder Roland Kickinger will play the T-800 in Warner Bros. Pictures' Terminator Salvation, coming to theaters on May 22, 2009. Kickinger talked about his role in the film, quotes that should be considered spoilers:

This month, however, Kickinger begins filming what is likely the role of his life to date, as his portion of Terminator Salvation begins to take shape.

"There's a very 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," said Kickinger.

"It's Arnold's character in the first Terminator. That's basically my role, but 20 years before, so it establishes how the Terminator [came] about."

He is taller by 3 inches and outweighs Arnold by almost like 100 lbs. if I'm not mistaken. So he is bigger than Arnold ever was. He looks probably as close as anyone ever will, I can see it, the film should be good, despite McG's crapy style of filmmaking, god help us and thanks for Bale maybe being the only salvation this film has.

Yeah he played the younger Arnold in See Arnold Run, also from Son of the Beach and a few episodes of Shasta McNasty. Interesting choice.

He's a unknown actor to me, much like arnold was when he was 1st Terminator. This could launch this guys career much like it did to arnolds

he also played the HUlk in the Disaster Movie... doesn't look like he has an impressive filmography, but i guess any built guy can play a terminator... as longs as they can look robotic.
