Darren McGavin, TV's "Night Stalker" is in the beginning of that film. He also starred in "A Christmas Story".

Winnah, winnah, chicken dinnah! Reps on recharge!
My prediction is that within the next ten years, we will be watching movies with former actors re-animated with computer generation. Arnold would be a prime candidate since he is so physical (versus dramatic) and he could still voice himself.
Hollywood will have to do this to save the action genre because all our modern action heroes suck compared to Arnold, Sly, VanDamme, etc.
...even Statham and VinDiesel are getting old with really no one in sight to take up the action mantle.
Imagine a terminator reboot with Arnold in his prime...

Arnold had a cameo in Salvation courtesy of CGI.
How Old School Effects Brought Schwarzenegger's T-800 Back from 1983
How the new Terminator Salvation movie used 25-year old props to recreate the T-800.
Warning, spoilers ahead.
By Erik Sofge
October 1, 2009
When Arnold Schwarzenegger's face appears onscreen in Terminator Salvation, it's precisely as it should be: wide, menacing and trapped in 1983. If the first three Terminator films were a flipbook portrait of an action star entering middle age, the fourth installment resets the iconic actor's cinematic clock with a climactic fight scene that blends the latest digital effects with a prosthetic prop that's been shelved for a quarter-century. The result is the resurrection of the killer robot that launched a franchise—and a feat of time travel that's worth the price of admission.
Schwarzenegger's digital cameo comes late in the movie (spoilers ahead), as human resistance leader John Connor (Christian Bale) duels what is, for his time period, a brand new kind of android assassin, the T-800. For Connor, this particular model of Terminator was a formative childhood figure. First, a T-800 was sent back through time to the 1980s to kill Connor's mother, before he was even born. In 1991, another one appeared, this time serving as a combination bodyguard (against the liquid Terminator T-1000), robotic pet, and de facto father figure. Finally, an updated version showed up in 2003, to save the predestined messiah figure one last time. Now, in the year 2018, a freshly minted T-800 is trying to kill John Connor, closing this bizarre Freudian loop (or is it wormhole?). Getting the face right was crucial, not just for the scene's dramatic impact, but for the meta-movie thrill of seeing Schwarzenegger at his most iconic—without the actor-turned-Governor even showing up on set.
If the cameo has a death mask quality to it, there's a reason—the basis of the digital model wasn't Benjamin Button-esque retrofit of Schwarzenegger's present-day face, but a life mask created in 1983 by Stan Winston Studios. "We dug out our original cast from the first Terminator movie, and created a new, cleaned-up, properly textured life-size bust," says John Rosengrant, the animatronics and special makeup effects supervisor for Terminator Salvation. Rosengrant has worked on all of the Terminator movies, and his company, Legacy Effects, is essentially a renamed version of Stan Winston Studios (the name is a reference to Winston, the legendary visual effects wizard who died last year). Although Salvation director McG told the Los Angeles Daily News that "it's the Schwarzenegger created from the scans from the first picture," Rosengrant points out that taking 3D scans wasn't an option 25 years ago, when the state-of-the-art in prosthetics required building a cast of Arnold's head out of dental alginate. Along with that vintage lifemask, Legacy had inherited extensive photographic reference of Schwarzenegger from 1983, taken to help Winston's team recreate accurate details (such as eyebrows, hair and skin tone).
Rosengrantz sent those photos, as well as castings taken of the new bust his team created, to Industrial Light & Magic, which handled the movie's digital effects. That period-accurate reference, he believes, helped create a visual that's as effective as it is unnerving. "I was trained as more of a traditional artist, and sculptor, and portraiture is always about the sum of the parts and the details," Rosengrant says. "If you don't have everything landing in the right place, any mistakes become monumental. And that becomes magnified when you're dealing with a face that's as recognizable as Arnold's."
This combination of traditional and computer-generated effects is more clear-cut in some of the movie's other robots, such as the T-600 android, an even bulkier predecessor to the bodybuilder-size T-800. Legacy created a fully animatronic, 7-ft. 4-in. T-600 for some shots, as well as a costume that featured blue-screened sections, which ILM turned into see-though gaps in the robot's clothing and rubbery flesh. Rosengrant's team also used blue-screen strips in Marcus Wright's (Sam Worthington) makeup, again allowing metallic components to be digitally inserted. But in a movie full of new, lethal robots, from swimming, insectoid "hydro-bots" to a towering humanoid model that stuffs humans into an airborne cattle car, it's the return of the T-800 that inspires real dread. That Arnold's Cold War-era face doesn't utter a word is all the better—science fiction's best impression of the Grim Reaper is back. And, for once, he doesn't have to announce it.f

Yup. Arnold was just 22 years old. He could actually have been 21. The film was released in 1969 while Arnold was born July 30, 1947.

Newp.
That was the other movie I searched for on YouTube but couldn't snag a good image from the video. Does fit the four-syllable clue, though.
That CGI Arnold Terminator is wicked!
Agreed!

Released in 1979, this comedy is nearly two hours in length and has a huge cast of many names I'd bet you'd recognize.
