Myron Stark (portrayed by Todd Stashwick) was a minor antagonist in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Appearing in the Season 2 episode "Self Made Man", he was a Series 888 Terminator tasked by Skynet to travel back to 2010 and assassinate the then-governor of California. However, a malfunction had occurred in Skynet's time displace equipment and Stark was accidentally transported to the year 1920.
Stark arrived in 1920 during a speakeasy at Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles. When he materialised, the energy from his displacement sphere started a fire that led to the deaths of 43 people, including Will Chandler, the son of construction mogul Rupert Chandler. Rupert Chandler was to be responsible for the construction of Pico Tower where Stark's mission was to be carried out, but the death of his son caused Chandler to cancel the construction project and preserve the land in his son's memory. This decision jeopardised Stark's mission and so the Terminator took steps to ensure that its mission parameters were fulfilled.
Stark committed a series of robberies, stealing enough capital to fund his own construction business. He purchased numerous pieces of property and hired non-Caucasian labourers, paying them double the usual rate of competing contractors and even got personally involved with the construction projects, working side by side with his men. By 1925, Stark had completed construction of Pico Tower, the stage where his original mission was to take place. In 2010, Governor Mark Wyman was to make a keynote speech at Pico Tower and Stark would be there to kill him. Once the tower was complete, Stark had disappeared from the public eye, having entombed himself in his own building and gone into standby mode until his mission date arrived.
Termination[]
In 2008, Cameron and the librarian Eric had uncovered documents and film reels relating to Stark. Ascertaining that Stark's activities were the result of him being sent to the wrong time period, she visited Pico Tower after hours. She searched the empty building and found the hall where Wyman's assassination was to take place. She found a hollow wall and broke through it, discovering Stark inside. His resting place disturbed, Stark reactivated and fought against Cameron. Cameron defeated Stark by dropping an elevator on him, immobilizing him long enough for Cameron to cut open his head and remove his CPU chip.
