O.J Simpson was going to be the Terminator. He was cut because the director couldn't imagine him as a ruthless killer!

Originally the Terminator was supposed to look like an average man, someone who could blend into a crowd. An actor they wanted to play this version was former NFL player and movie actor O.J. Simpson. James Cameron passed over O.J. Because he couldn't imagine such a nice guy playing the part of a ruthless killer.
