Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has portrayed robots both killing and kindly, will host an upcoming TV special about the screen's top 100 heroes and villains.
An American Film Institute poll asked voters to choose among 400 nominated characters from American film history and decide which should be considered wicked or virtuous.
Schwarzenegger's T-800 killer robot is nominated twice, once for the attacking character he played in the 1984 original ``The Terminator,'' and again for ``Terminator 2: Judgment Day,'' in 1991, in which he played an android who was a protector.
The show is scheduled for June 3 on CBS television and will feature interviews with actors including Kirk Douglas, Susan Sarandon, Glenn Close, Harrison Ford and Christopher Reeve.
AFI has sent ballots to nearly 1,500 directors, actors, studio executives, critics and others in the entertainment industry.
Some characters are nominated en masse, such as the zombies from 1968's ``Night of the Living Dead'' and ``The Wild Bunch'' cowboys from director Sam Peckinpah's 1969 western.
