It's not very often that actor Robert Patrick gets nostalgic for old roles, but playing his popular killing machine from 1991's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" might be too good to pass up.

James Middleton, executive producer of the upcoming Fox series "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," said his people were very seriously considering trying to get Patrick back, according to Daily India.

"We absolutely thought about that," Middleton told reporters at the recent Television Critics Association press tour in California. "We love Robert Patrick. We studied his performance as a Terminator, and think he's a fantastic actor and we have talked about him a lot."

It's unclear whether or not Patrick -- best known for roles in shows like "The X-Files" and "Stargate: Atlantis" -- will actually appear on the series, or if he would even reprise the T-1000.

"We don't know what we have for him, but love him as an actor," Middleton said. "We have talked about having echoes of the films in a lot of ways, including actors from previous movies."

"The Sarah Connor Chronicles" stars Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker and Summer Glau, and will premiere in 2008 on Fox.
