Is there any news on whether Doctor Silberman will be making an appearance on this series?

Since this series is a an alternative continuation of T2 (that ignores T3) and T3 copped out on developing the Dr Silberman character by having himself believe that he was hallucinating (when he witnessed the T-1000) from being in a hostage situation, does anyone think that this series will be taking a different approach to his character (assuming that his character makes an appearance)?

Does anyone think that he'll be the same unlikeable stubborn doctor from T2 and work with the FBI or will he become a believer and ally to Sarah?

Edit: Update, I just read that the good doctor makes his series debute on episode 6 played by Bruce Davidson.

Why couldn't they get the original actor? :(

Possibly, the series wanted all fresh and new faces who aren't from the movies.

They would have tried to get the original actors, its what all the hardcore terminator fans wanted.
