Billy Idol Was Supposed To Play The T-1000 in 'Terminator 2'?

Apparently Billy Idol was originally cast to play Arnold Schwarzenegger's liquid metal nemesis in T2: Judgement Day.

According to Ultimate Classic Rock, the singer says a 1990 motorcycle crash mangled his leg and kept him from playing the villain in the Terminator sequel, and pretty much ended his movie career just as it was getting started. Idol ended up with a small role in Oliver Stone's The Doors, but he was supposed to have a much bigger part before the injury sidelined him. Robert Patrick, the actor who ended up playing the T-1000, has confirmed in interviews that he saw artwork of Idol as the character in the special effects workshop once he stepped into the role.

That was pretty much it for Billy Idol on the big screen. He went on to do a cameo as himself in 1998's The Wedding Singer and was reportedly close to another villain role in one of the Highlander sequels.
