Apparently one of the most common Terminators, the T-101 is played in all three films by film star Arnold Schwarzennegger. He apparently has likings for sunglasses and clothes that fit perfectly. In bizarre coincidences, the T-101 has died in every film. First, crushed by a press in a factory by Sarah Connor. Second film, he could not "self-terminate" and was lowered into a vat of molten lava by Sarah Connor. Third film, he sacrificed himself to kill the Terminatrix and save the lives of John Connor and Kate Brewster.
