While the world waits with bated breath to see whether or not Christian Bale<\/a>, who turns 34 in January, will play John Connor in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins<\/a><\/i>, I figured I\u2019d round up some pictures of the various other actors who have tackled the role so far. Here they are, arranged from the youngest to the oldest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: Ever since Terminator 2: Judgment Day<\/a><\/i> (1991) established that it is<\/i> possible to change the past, or the future, or the present, or whatever, several different timelines have branched off from that film. Indeed, the film itself originally had an epilogue that took place a few decades into the future, but it was cut from the final release. So I have numbered the timelines based on the order in which they were filmed.<\/p>\n
