@@ClearYourMindTravel And Macaulay Culkin was also considered for the role of John Conner but his parents refused because of all the swearing John does so the part went to Eddie Furlong instead.
Billy Idol was a good choice too, he had the look and "bad vibe". Idol played "Cat" (Jim Morrison's drinking buddy) in The Doors movie the same year. But Patrick did an amazing job and wrote history cause of destiny.
@ThePitchblue Considering that Billy was Cameron's original choice before his accident, yeah. Macauley Culkin was also considered for the role of John Connor, but his parents refused because of all the swearing John does.
Played the roll so outstanding. Such a slick smooth guy and fitted the role perfect, great villian too. No other terminator villian actor has come close, apart from arnie in the first.
Wish he had not been killed so early on in Die Hard 2. I know William Sadler was the main baddie but it would have been nice to see Patrick's character briefly go toe to toe against McClane.
Robert Patrick is always going to be unforgettable as the T-1000, but I could actually see Billy Idol playing the role very well too. He has the attitude that could translate to a villain like that. I like Billy's music, and wish I could have seen a version of the movie where he played the T-1000 too.
Billy Idol was already very established. If he got the role instead of Robert, the latter might have remained a minuscule actor for the rest of his career. Still, it would have been interesting to see if Billy Idol could nail the role as well as Robert Patrick eventually did. I was only 10 years old when T2 came out and I just couldn't get over how stunning he was.
Ironically, Eddie Furlong was also unknown before T2 and Macaulay Culkin was originally considered for the role of John Conner but his parents refused it because of all the swearing John does.
I'm sure Robert's striking good looks in addition to his talent sealed the deal in getting him the T-1000 role. If he was ugly or just not that physically appealing, people might not have been as fascinated by his character.
I don’t think I could have taken it seriously if Billy Idol had played the T1000. Apart from perfect jawline, he just doesn’t have ‘it’ that Robert Patrick did.
Billy Idol has played villains in other movies successfully. Cameron wouldn't have chosen him for the T-1000 role before his accident if he didn't think Billy Idol had what it took.
Yes I had a behind the scenes magazine of T2 in the summer of 91 and some of the drawings were of a thin blonde guy with normal street clothes as the T1000 . Meant to be Robert Patrick was amazing in the role he captured Kyle Reese and the original 84 terminator into one . He looks like the protector character but he is the fierce killing machine.
Robert wasn't blond, though. He was a light brunet. Cameron actually wanted an actor with a more delicate build to play the T-1000 so that people wouldn't suspect how strong it was.
Back In Terminator 2, Regarding Robert Patrick as the T-1000, Let's just.. *Say, that was a nice character,* but nowadays regarding Robert as the T-1000, He simply. *Doesn't give a shit.*
Funny you say that because I was only 10 when T2 came out, younger than Eddie Furlong yet I was way more fascinated by Robert even though he's technically old enough to be my father. To my eyes, Eddie was simply cute but I just couldn't get over how gorgeous Robert was, lol.
Robert was very handsome as a young man. If you're talking about today, he actually looks a bit worn down because of heavy smoking and drinking but still better than a lot of other aged celebrities.
Love all the terminator..I have nightmares about terminators and they're the only nightmares that scare the crap outta me. Ig cause maybe it could really happen one day. Idk
What is that ring on his right hand? I've seen him wear it in many videos. Is it the terminator skull head because it looks like it.. does anybody know?
Not only was Billy Idol going to play the T-1000, he was going to have a mustache. It's mentioned in the script and you can see it in the storyboards. There's one brutal scene where the T-1000 tracks down Sarah in the desert after they left and he murders Enrique and his wife. The last shot in the scene was to be her point of view as the T-1000 points at her and forms a spike that fills the whole frame before going to black.
I really wish we could see those early storyboards with Billy Idol as the T-1000. It sucked that he had an accident but if it wasn't for that, the world might not have known about Mr. Patrick and how wonderful he was and still is.
Billy Idol was already pretty established and didn't need the role to further his career. I believe that Robert was a struggling young husband and father trying to make ends meet for his family so he needed the T-1000 role much more and if he didn't get it, who knows where he'd be with his acting career today.
Say... that's a nice bike.
Legendary
Robert Patrick played the rol as T-1000 amazingly!! Terminator 2 is the best movie!!
Yes, he felt so scary and dangerous. He was an EXPERT to create this intense presence.
So you've seen all?
agreed
No the first
@xtrmst_01, what are you talking about?
T1000 - he played it brilliantly.
Perfect casting!!! One of the greatest villain in the history of movies

Robert Patrick and movie Casting
destiny for some people:
1) to become a good example for others
2) to become king/emperor
3) to become T-1000 legend
It's so strange to see Terminator T-1000 smiling
Try watch the making of Terminator 2 you definately feel more strange that T-800 and T1000 when they during an interview.....
I think he smiled when talking to John's foster parents in that one scene
@@colonel_koopa Maybe a half-smile lol
I think R.Patrick had the most coolest movie role ever in movie history, playin' Terminator T-1000 in T2
Wow billy idol was going to be T-1000. Surprised i never heard about that.
Billy idol?
Don't let James cameron cast, he damn near picked oj Simpson for the terminator and Billy idol for the t-1000... Ugggghhhhhh
Well Al Pacino was considered for the role of Han Solo.

people shit on Billy now that history has been written, but I also believe he would be fine as t1000.
I heard Blackie Lawless was up for it at one point too. That would’ve been interesting too.
@xtrmst_012I think Ray Liotta would have fit the part better. He did a great job playing a psychotic cop in Unlawful Entry.
@ThePitchblue Considering that Billy was Cameron's original choice before his accident, yeah. Macauley Culkin was also considered for the role of John Connor, but his parents refused because of all the swearing John does.
@xtrmst_012 you need to see more of his films.
As well as Terminator; Judgement day, he has played villainous roles in other films like Die Hard; die harder and The Faculty.
Robert also plays funny and dumb villans as well.

You know an actor is good when he/she can play a character who is just the opposite of who they really are.
@@Elly3981 yes agree with you there
@@david1golfer Robert is actually a sweet and funny guy in real life. He's also a real prankster too.
Imagine you get a role and they tell you "hey you need to be more intimidating than Arnold Schwarzenegger"... and you pull it off.
Yes. A man who has a more delicate build than Arnold manages to look more intimidating.
Wish he had not been killed so early on in Die Hard 2. I know William Sadler was the main baddie but it would have been nice to see Patrick's character briefly go toe to toe against McClane.
I agree. He didn't even speak in Diehard 2.
@@larrypurnell3573 Yes, he did. Not much but he did have a line or two.
An iconic role and performance in an iconic movie.

What I like about his T-1000 he has a square face, very clear cheeks and easily tell it's a robot villain. Aviator sunglasses fits well with him too.
No one would ever be close to this robot. Sir Robert. I saw all the other parts. This man was extremely bad ass. Lots of respect
What about that Asian dude in Genesys ?
@@toosweet6046 are u serious
he was for T2 what Heath Ledger was for The Dark Knight. Unreplacable!

Yes, I would like a tea 1000 please thank you.
No deal
Who is your terminator, and what does he do?
Im a friend of John Kimble,and was told thats hes here
What happend to the Terminator you lobotomized? Did he get a recall?
SAYYY! THATS A NICE BIKE 🏍
Probably his most famous role, the T-1000
Great underrated actor! My favourite movie villain ever, from my all time favourite movie!
Terminator 2 >>
robert played T1000 so well perfectly cast and an amazing villain in an epic movie
They picked the right guy. He made this movie along with Cameron’s vision.
Robert Patrick had the look, The Charisma, the walk and run. That role was custom made for him perfectly..
I'm sure Robert's striking good looks in addition to his talent sealed the deal in getting him the T-1000 role. If he was ugly or just not that physically appealing, people might not have been as fascinated by his character.

@@Elly3981 And the accent?
@@southlondon86 What about it?
@@Elly3981 A Cockney accent appropriate for a Terminator?
@@southlondon86 Terminators are supposed to have accents lol?
Robert would've made a great Coach Buzzcut in a live action Beavis & Butthead movie
Boy did we dodge a bullet there! XD
Robert Patrick's T1000 also inspired Albert Wesker appearence from Resident Evil series.
Hope billy made a full recovery but robert was the perfect actor to play the T1000. He was scary good in that role.
Thanks to Billy's accident sorry to say we got one the most iconic villains in cinema history 👌
Alright mate
James Cameron described that the T-1000's prototype should be in assassinator type, sharp and razar style. Robert can perfectly suit it, always be.
What a class act. Loved that finger wag at the end.
One of my favorite actors. Fire in the sky!
T 1000
Call to John. I know this hurts.
The thought of Billy Idol as the T-1000 is a fucking joke, I'm glad he got hurt so Robert Patrick could get the role.

I don't know why but Robert Patrick still scares the hell out of me til' this day. T-1000 was traumatizing.
also amazing actor.
he is also one of my favorite actors.
Couldn't imagine anyone else than Robert Patrick for T-1000.
Ok we need a deep fake with Billy Idol
"Have you seen this boy"
Back In Terminator 2, Regarding Robert Patrick as the T-1000, Let's just.. *Say, that was a nice character,* but nowadays regarding Robert as the T-1000, He simply. *Doesn't give a shit.*
He is the perfect T1000
love this man.
Muito boa entrevista ...
for yours he was in my nightmares
Many times t1000 has chased me in my horrific dreams.... I couldn't run or breath... Then wake up suddenly and watch t2 next day
He's a great actor and very handsome. Those blue eyes are a thing of beauty. Couldn't take my eyes off of him or his eyes.
Funny you say that because I was only 10 when T2 came out, younger than Eddie Furlong yet I was way more fascinated by Robert even though he's technically old enough to be my father. To my eyes, Eddie was simply cute but I just couldn't get over how gorgeous Robert was, lol.
Holy fuck, Billy Idol? That would be a fucking comedy... maybe in Terminator: alternative, post-nuclear punk crap, but not T2, not the 1990s!!!
Robert is the sexiest and handsome boy even he has aged .
Robert was very handsome as a young man. If you're talking about today, he actually looks a bit worn down because of heavy smoking and drinking but still better than a lot of other aged celebrities.
Idol would have worked I think, but Patrick is perfect.
Franz Schubert as Robert Patrick

* T1000 talks about playing Robert Patrick
Cool American man! The generation of natural people. Not biebers from the 00.
In a strange twist of things, this is actually a T1000 who plays Robert Patrick….
Love all the terminator..I have nightmares about terminators and they're the only nightmares that scare the crap outta me. Ig cause maybe it could really happen one day. Idk
I think was better like this because if was Billy Idol people would focus on Billy Idol the singer and not on the caracter
Legendary performance Robert Patrick!
T-1000:" I know it's hurt's , call to John " 👈. Best Villain ever in terminator series 🔥❤️👍😊👏👏👏
Robert Patrick is a badass. Thanks for the nightmares!.
Unknown ?
"A sitting duck."

Nice.
Like I said I love all the terminators but the female one could have been better
Brilliant actor!!!
What is that ring on his right hand? I've seen him wear it in many videos. Is it the terminator skull head because it looks like it.. does anybody know?
Chrome skull ring.

Billy idol??
White wedding billy idol??
Total unknown? That’s why he was just a mere henchman on Die Hard 2 !
True, I just don't get it, Robert Patrick definitely looks awesome compared to other antagonists in Die Hard 2 but he was just a random guy and....
Class act.
Holy shit Billy Idol as the T1000? Whoa that would have been different!
Billy Idol as a Terminator? He was pretty badass back then, but come on... Robert Patrick couldn't have been more perfect.
Sometime the universe wants wat it wants. Billy was not to play the part it was to go to Robert

Can someone tell me how old Robert Patrick was when he played his part in terminal 2
30
Robert is a legend as T-1000, now he is looked like Christopher Walken
One of the scariest non horror movie villain
Ruthless villian.....he did 👌 ....india...Kerala....
Robert's Billy Idol accent was actually pretty good
Isn't Billy Idol British?
Billy idol ? Nah bro.
Esse filme vai ficar registrado na história do cinema!
Nice Bike
the robot
Why they didn't put him back in another one of the many terrible terminator movies to play another t-1000 is beyond me.
Well he did play in last action hero as t-1000😅😅
@sheldonjenkins3452 in Wayne's world aswell
Past tense of casting is cast.
His voice sounds like Michael De Santa for some reason
