You mess with my state, this ring goes through your FACE
Austrian-born actor, former bodybuilder, and Governator governor Der Gouvernator of the state of California as of 2003, a fact that most non-Californians 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 series and Predator. 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 The Terminator out of him.

Also famous for his many Bond and Pre Mortem one liners; some of the cornier ones end up getting oft repeated for the sake of their corniness.

As shown by Commando, Kindergarten Cop and even Terminator 2, hurt a child or a teenager near to him and Schwarzenegger WILL fuck you up so bad that you'll need more than one coffin to be buried in. So Yeah, it's not like what you think he is...

As governor of California, a real-life case of Asskicking Equals Authority. If his political and business career are anything to judge him by, he's much smarter than people give him credit for. You know that vast fortune he has? Most of it didn't come from acting. He's also the biggest JFK fan known to man, being the man who paid thousands for a set of golf clubs used by JFK as well as marrying into the family...

Has gone on record as saying that when his gubernatorial term expires in 2010, he will not seek another, nor will he run for a House or Senate seat. This has led to speculation that he will return to films.

Not to be confused with The Ahnold, though he's the semi-Trope Namer.
