{{quote|''"Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Governor of California. [[Sarcasm Mode|There's a perfectly ordinary]] [[A Rare Sentence|English sentence.]]"''|'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlLpCh-lE54 Dylan Moran]'''}}
Austrian-born actor, (he became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1983), former bodybuilder, and [[Fan Nickname|Governator]] of the state of [[California]] from 2003 to 2011, a fact that a lot of people in general find to be very funny. He broke into acting with an unfortunate ''Hercules'' movie, which he then followed with ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]''. He is now most famous for his roles in action films such as the ''[[Terminator (franchise)|Terminator]]'' series and ''[[Predator]]'', with characters [[Not Even Bothering with the Accent|that always have a thick Austrian accent]] (it has, in fact, become so iconic of him that he has a speech coach to help him maintain the accent after years in America). His comedies (and even his later action films) vary. He was also a lifelong friend of [[Stan Winston]], the master-puppeteer who quite literally made [[Terminator (franchise)|The Terminator]] out of him.

Not to be confused with [[The Ahnold]], though he's the semi-[[Trope Namer]].
-----
{{examples|Notable for:}}
* ''Pumping Iron'', a 1970's documentary about the pro bodybuilding scene.
* ''[[The Villain]]'' -- Handsome Stranger
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* ''[[Around the World in Eighty Days]]'' -- Prince Hapi
* ''[[The Expendables]]'' -- His last official film role while governor, albeit just a cameo. Also significant in that it is the first film he has ever shared actual screen time with 80's action hero rivals [[Sylvester Stallone]] and [[Bruce Willis]].

Other:
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
* ''[[The Governator]]'' -- As an [[Ink Suit Actor|animated version of himself]]... who's also a superhero.
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: He's said that "the rod was not spared" by his father, though also stressing that this was standard dicipline for the time. Still, the relationship between them was so bad that Arnold didn't go to his funeral.
* [[The Ahnold]]: The [[Trope Codifier]] and [[Trope Namer]]
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Damn right! He kicked ass even as a Governor of California.
* [[Badass]]: Oh so much that he is well known.
** [[Badass Grandpa]]: Would you believe he
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: He's not just smart and strong as two separate abilities. In [[Pumping Iron]] he actually mentions how he used his brain to help win bodybuilding competitions, by actively attempting to psych out the other competitors.
** The vast majority of his fortune is also from his investments and business ventures, not from his acting paychecks.
* [[Golden Mean Fallacy]]: During his second term as governor, he was pretty unpopular because other Republicans thought he was too far to the left, while Democrats thought he was too far to the right.
* [[I Am Not Leonard Nimoy]]: to the point that whole films have been made specifically to be Arnold does X: "[[Junior|Ahnold gets pregnant]]," "[[Jingle All the Way|Ahnold shops for Christmas toys]]," etc.
