{{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.
Line 46 ⟶ 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]].
* ''The Last Stand'' -- His first role in his return to acting
Other:
Line 58 ⟶ 61:
* [[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.
