Christopher Lawford has passed away at the age of 63. He was the nephew of John F. Kennedy and was of course connected to Arnold Schwarzenegger via family and marriage to Maria Shriver.
TMZ reports:
Actor Christopher Lawford, the son of Peter Lawford and Patricia Kennedy, has died … TMZ has confirmed.
Christopher Lawford played an aide to General Robert Brewster (David Andrews) in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (credited as Chris Lawford in the movie).
In the movie General Brewster and his team were under pressure to regain control of the military after an outbreak of a computer virus left the United States open to attack, with governmental pressure and panic; a software program called SkyNet was launched in conjunction with Cyber Research Systems (an offshoot of the defunct Cyberdyne Systems) to eliminate the virus and regain control of all military systems but instead unknowingly Brewster had enabled the real enemy complete control (the machines) as SkyNet saw humans as the real threat.
RIP Christopher.
