Top Five: Alternate Men To Play A T-1000
3) Billy Idol
Rock star Billy Idol was actually one wrong traffic manoeuvre away from playing the T-1000. He was Cameron’s first choice to play the role in Terminator 2, his face even appears in the 1990 story boards. But after a woman (typical!) broke his leg early 1990 in a car accident while he was riding his bike, Cameron had to go to plan B (Robert Patrick). And you know, I totally see it. I think Cameron would’ve made an incredible T-1000 out of this guy. The X-Factor is there. You can read the whole story on this, Idol’s missed chance as the T-1000 by clicking here. Sometimes apparently surreal choices work out exceptionally. After all. the best T-800 was an Austrian body builder. Billy Idol as a Terminator? Could’ve worked, definitely…
