The Terminator has an iconic cast, but the original casting choices for Kyle Reese would have completely changed the movie and the franchise.
Kyle Reese is one of the main characters in 1984's The Terminator, and while he has gone on to become an iconic part of the franchise, the film's original Kyle Reese casting plans were wild. Michael Biehn famously played Kyle Reese in the original film, with him bringing life to the time-traveling freedom fighter and father of John Connor. However, things were almost completely different, as the original casting picks for Kyle Reese in The Terminator were pretty different.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT John Carpenter's The Terminator spawned a massive franchise from its humble beginnings, with the sci-fi thriller being a huge hit upon its 1984 release. The film follows Sarah Connor, a young woman who lives in 1984, as she is being hunted down by a killing machine from 2029 known as a Terminator. However, a young soldier from 2029 named Kyle Reese gets to Sarah first, helping her survive the Terminator's pursuit.
However, things completely changed for Arnold Schwarzenegger when he started discussing the film's villain with Cameron. Schwarzenegger and Cameron worked on how the titular Terminator would be portrayed, causing Cameron to realize that he would be perfect for the role. This was the perfect solution, as Cameron found a great part for Schwarzenegger, and Orion was happy because he was in the film.
According to ET, some other actors who were considered for the part were Kurt Russell, Mel Gibson, Tommy Lee Jones, Scott Glenn, Matt Dillon, and more. Interestingly, musician Bruce Springsteen was also considered for the part. However, similarly to Sting, he was too busy with his tours for The Terminator. The search for Kyle Reese was one of the most complicated castings in The Terminator, and Michael Biehn ended up being a great pick.
