In the nearly 20 years since "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" was released, Stahl has had a bit of a bumpy ride in Hollywood, even taking a self-imposed five-year hiatus from acting in order to deal with personal issues. But he returned in 2019 all bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and happy to reflect on the past.
Looking back on his "Terminator 3" experience while talking to Looper, Stahl had mixed emotions — and one thing he would have done differently.
"That whole experience was great for me," said Stahl. "But it's funny how you look back at certain times in your life, and you're like, 'I wish ...' You have — not regrets, but it's like, 'I wish I had seized that opportunity and been present.' The way we go about our lives, we're always on to the next thing, or our head is in the future. Sometimes it's a struggle to be present in the moment. If I could do it again, I would probably just enjoy that time more. Overall, though, it was a really exciting time and exciting film for me."
Stahl's latest project is the psychological horror film "What Josiah Saw," which is now streaming exclusively on Shudder.
