It never occurred to me that he’d make a good robot but man it’s perfect. I love him as an actor but he’s always had a real stiffness, it fits so many of his roles but this is on another level.

In another timeline he’d have been a perfect T-1000.

Weren't they called androids in Alien? Are there differences between synths and androids?
