This month, however, Kickinger begins filming what is likely the role of his life to date, as his portion of Terminator Salvation begins to take shape.

“There’s a very strong scene in the film where John Connor for the first time meets the Terminator, and he doesn’t know if he’s a good guy or a bad guy,” said Kickinger.

“It’s Arnold’s character in the first Terminator. That’s basically my role, but 20 years before, so it establishes how the Terminator [came] about.”

Schwarzenegger, “20 years before,” is roughly how Hollywood has seen Kickinger to date. Time will tell if the protege remains in his mentor’s hulking shadow, or manages to emerge.
