Vancouver Games officials say California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the onetime actor who starred in films such as James Cameron's The Terminator, will carry the torch this Friday, ahead of the 2010 opening ceremony.
The Great One's father, Walter Gretzky, will also take part in the torch relay in its final hours, running in Vancouver.
The star-studded lineup for the final days of the relay also includes astronaut Julie Payette, who will run Wednesday, and singers Jann Arden and Michael Bublé on Thursday.
Rolly Fox, the father of Canadian hero Terry Fox, will bear the torch Friday near English Bay, after Seb Coe, a former Olympian and chairman of the London 2012 organizing committee.
The 106-day relay is in Langley and Surrey on Monday, as it makes it way toward Vancouver for the start of the Games.
