De inmiddels bijna bejaarde Robert Patrick schitterde in de jaren negentig in Terminator 2 en zijn rol als T-1000 maakte hem een pop culture icoon. Tegenwoordig is zijn acteer carrière zo goed als dood en draaft hij nog op in de serie Scorpion waar in hij pijnlijk acteert. Terminator 2 heeft een rerelease gehad en daarom had de website Coming Soon een interview met hem en daar van kan je hier onder een stukje lezen.

CS: Well it's interesting because through the years it has become such an iconic classic. At the time when it was made, James Cameron was really taking a huge gamble because this was the most expensive movie of all time. The first "Terminator" was a success but it wasn't like "Star Wars," it wasn't a huge blockbuster, and Cameron was coming off "The Abyss," which had disappointed. Did you feel any of that pressure during the shooting?

Robert Patrick: Oh yeah, without a doubt. Look I was a complete unknown when I got cast. I worked with Roger Corman and on "Die Hard 2" and done a couple plays. I could feel the pressure all around. There was pressure put on myself because I didn't want to let anyone down: I didn't want to let Jim down, I didn't want to let Arnold down, I didn't want to let myself down. I wanted to do the job. I had been given this wonderful gift of an opportunity to play the T-1000 and I wanted to take full advantage of it and do a great job. Certainly a man like Cameron was a visionary. Cameron is one of those guys that understands that you've got to get in there, you have got to get in the ring and fight, you've got to make mistakes, you've got to take your hits. You've got to hit back, you gotta be willing and courageous and bold enough to do things that will make people stand back and look at you in awe. And that's what you've got to be willing to do. You don't get to have a breakout hit, and you don't move cinema forward by playing it safe. You do it by being bold and having the confidence, and the cojones to gamble and reach for the stars. And that's what Jim is. He is a visionary filmmaker and he doesn't sit back and wait to see what people are going to say about it. He just goes and pushes for it. Everybody can sit back and see what he does, just sit there and go, "Wow this guy is an amazing filmmaker."
