Which actor played Miles Dyson in Terminator 2: Judgment Day?

Joe Morton played Miles Dyson in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Dyson is a Cyberdyne Systems engineer whose work on the recovered Terminator technology helps lead to the development of the neural-net processor that becomes the foundation of Skynet. Sarah Connor initially sees him as a direct cause of the coming catastrophe and attacks his home.

The character’s role changes as the story develops. After learning the consequences of his research, Dyson helps Sarah, John, and the T-800 destroy the laboratory and the technological evidence that could produce Skynet. His decision gives the film one of its most important moral turns.

Joe Morton’s performance is sometimes confused with the actors who played other major human figures in the franchise. Michael Biehn played Kyle Reese in the first film, while Edward Furlong played John Connor in Terminator 2.
