Lance Henriksen playing The Terminator...
I was at a fan expo, and Lance Henriksen was there. One of the questions that was asked to him in the Q & A, was to tell everyone about how he was considered for The Terminator.
He said that that that was all just a false rumor that got started though, and that he was never considered for The Terminator. He said he went to audition but was turned down and never considered. However, I watched this youtube video on The Terminator, and at 13:40 into the video, it's mentioned how Henriksen was considered and there was even storyboard art of him done for the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jchs6orHkBE But now I don't know what to believe. If Henriksen was being honest, and that hew as never considered for the roll, why would they do storyboard artwork of him as the Terminator then? Does anyone know for sure? |
I'd take that video with a pound of salt. There are no references first off. Second, anyone since could have created fan art to claim it was storyboard work. But to be clear he didn't claim storyboard or even concept. Instead he just used the generic term "artwork" which could be for anything, from anyone, from any time. I'd trust the actor who was there than a random YouTube character without sources.

pretty interesting Terminator- Turned it down Mel Gibson Tom Selleck Chevy Chase Not picked OJ Simpson Lance Hendrickson Sarah Conner Turned it down Tatum Oneal Debra Winger Melanie Griffith Passed over Glen Close Genna Davis Jennifer Jason Leigh Jodie Foster Kyle Reese Arnold Schwarzenegger Right now my mind is just swimming with the idea of Arnie and Jodie Foster running away from Chevy Chase |

I believe the earlier idea was that the Terminator would be a "normal sized man with a slight strangeness to him" kind of role which you could argue is something they return to with Patrick as the T-1000. |

Yeah it seems like the original concept was Kyle Reese was this big hulking dude, Sarah Conner was basically a child and Terminator is this normal but somewhat creepy soldier. |

Really though I suspect the biggest reason Arnie got it is that he's actually a very good physical actor who brings out the mechanical nature of the character in the way he moves well. It was the same with Patrick, there's a certain sinuousness to the way he moves that plays equally well with the T-1000. |
