He has hardly any dialogue, and is only in the action sequences, with Hamilton and Biehn on screen far more, and doing most of the acting. Sure, its since been repackaged as a star vehicle, but prior to that he'd only been in the Conan movies and various projects related to his status as a bodybuilding champ.
I think a better description is it was the film that *made* him a star, since a monosyllabic killing machine is a role he was born to play...GWO
You're probably right in this respect. I'll amend accordingly. sjc
