Ironically, Bennett did always remind me of Freddy Mercury, but somehow gayer.
I thought they could have picked a better and more sinister looking bad guy. Bennett was so gay he made Richard Simmons look like the punisher.
I always wondered why they didn't instead go with classic 80's bad guy actor Brian Thompson.

I think that Arnold was insecure and he didn’t want any tough looking guy to be his advisory.
Arnold wanted no competition from any other alpha-male types.
Look at Terminator 2. One of the most massive sequels in movie history. And Arnold wanted a relatively unknown actor to play the T-1000 role. WTF.
Imagine if Val Kilmer or Jean Claude Vandamme played the T-1000. Or even Mr T or Brian Bosworth.
Terminator 2 would have been even better than it was! Robert Patrick did a great job, but he was an odd choice to play the new and improved Terminator role.
