"CONAN" STAR PLAYS "TERMINATOR"

While promoting Conan the Destroyer, body-builder turned actor Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed his desire to play different types of roles, and not just ones that force him to walk around half nude, flexing his muscles.
   "Conan fits right into my image as an athlete," Schwarzenegger told The San Diego Union-Tribune. "I don't want to erase that image, but build on it.  To do that, I had to get into big, commercial pictures with a big studio (Universal) and producer (Dino de Laurentiis) behind them. We will do a third Conan next year, but I also want to do other parts. I don't want to be trapped in one, like Sylvester Stallone or Christopher Reeve. I just finished Terminator, playing a villain who is half robot. I get to wear uniforms in that, because the muscles are not so important."
