  • Orion executive Mike Medavoy proposed OJ Simpson as the Terminator and Arnold as Kyle Reese; Cameron rejected Simpson as too likable at the time and the pursuit image as racially wrong.
  • Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson reportedly declined the Terminator, while Tom Selleck was considered because the machine was originally imagined as an ordinary man able to blend in.
  • Sting is the one Kyle Reese alternative treated as credible and exciting, though Michael Biehn is defended.
  • Lea Thompson, Geena Davis, Rosanna Arquette, Madonna, and Jennifer Jason Leigh are discussed for Sarah; Rosanna Arquette is the panel’s favorite alternate, while Hamilton remains perfect.
