Before Harry Hamlin was considered for the role of Perseus, other runners-up were Malcolm McDowell, Michael York, and Richard Chamberlain. Arnold Schwarzenegger (who was fairly unknown at the time) was briefly considered, but producer Charles H. Schneer felt that, with the exception of Hercules, Greek heroes were athletic, but not overly muscular, relying more on cunning than strength. He also felt that casting a very muscular actor was a cliché, hearkening back to the Italian sword and sandal movies of the 1950s and 1960s.
