Film debut of Edward Furlong. He won the part of John Connor after being discovered by Casting Director Mali Finn. She had been looking for a 'streetwise kid', but none of the young professional actors who had come for a screentest had been convincing enough. She widened her search to the Boys' Club of Pasadena, California, where she found Furlong. Like John Connor, he had never met his father and was no longer living with his mother. When she approached him, he gave her the right amount of attitude, convincing her that he could be perfect for the role. Although his first audition did not go well (he felt a bit intimidated by the presence of Linda Hamilton), both Finn and James Cameron were impressed by his raw talent and ability to summon emotion on command. After some training with a dialogue coach and displaying a chemistry with Arnold Schwarzenegger, they were convinced he was the right choice.
