A former body builder and Mr Universe winner from Austria has been cast as the new Terminator in the upcoming film 'Terminator Salvation'.
Canadian paper the Clinton News-Record interviewed Roland Kickinger, who confirmed that he would play the T-800 in the new blockbuster.
Kickinger said of the role: "It's Arnold's (Schwarzenegger) character in the first 'Terminator'. That's basically my role, but 20 years before, so it establishes how the Terminator [came] about."
The paper says that Kickinger emigrated from Austria to the US 13 years ago and has already starred in the spoof 'Baywatch' series 'Son of a Beach' and also played Schwarzenegger in the TV biopic 'See Arnold Run'.
'Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins' opens in cinemas on 22 May 2009.
