Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger (born July 30, 1947) is an Austrian and American actor, businessman, former politician, and former professional bodybuilder, known for his roles in high-profile action films. He served as the 38th governor of California from 2003 to 2011. Schwarzenegger began lifting weights at age 15 and won the Mr. Universe title at age 20 and, subsequently, the Mr. Olympia title seven times. He is tied with Phil Heath for the joint-second number of all-time Mr. Olympia wins, behind Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney, who are joint-first with eight wins each. Nicknamed the "Austrian Oak" in his bodybuilding days, he is regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders ever. He has written books and articles about bodybuilding, including the autobiographical Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder (1977) and The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding (1998). The Arnold Sports Festival, the second-most prestigious bodybuilding event after Mr. Olympia, is named after him. He appeared in the bodybuilding documentary Pumping Iron (1977), which set him on his way to a film career. After retiring from bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action star with his breakthrough in the sword and sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian (1982), a box-office success with a sequel in 1984. After playing the title character in the science fiction film The Terminator (1984), he starred in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and three other sequels. His other successful action films included Commando (1985), The Running Man (1987), Predator (1987), Total Recall(1990), and True Lies (1994), in addition to comedy films such as Twins (1988), Kindergarten Cop (1990) and Jingle All the Way (1996). At the height of his career, Schwarzenegger was known for his rivalry with Sylvester Stallone. He is the founder of the film production company Oak Productions. As a registered member of the Republican Party, Schwarzenegger chaired the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports during most of the George H. W. Bush administration. In 2003, he was elected governor of California in a special recall election to replace Gray Davis, the governor at the time. He received 48.6 per cent of the vote, 17 points ahead of the runner-up, Cruz Bustamante of the Democratic Party. He was sworn in on November 17 to serve the remainder of Davis' term. He was reelected in the 2006 gubernatorial election with an increased vote share of 55.9 per cent to serve a full term. In 2011, he reached his term limit as governor and returned to acting.

Suggested by lllaryn
Destroyer Barbarian is a modern sword-and-sorcery fantasy epic set in a brutal world of war, monsters, and dark magic. The story follows a feared wandering warrior known only as the Destroyer Barbarian, played by Dave Bautista, whose reputation comes from destroying tyrants and conquering warlords across the land. When an ancient sorcerer begins conquering kingdoms and raising monstrous armies, civilization is pushed toward collapse. Entire cities burn while creatures like dragons and giant serpents appear across the world. The Destroyer Barbarian travels to stop the threat, but during his journey he encounters a legendary warrior thought to exist only in stories: Conan, portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, returning as the original barbarian hero from Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. At first the two warriors clash in a brutal duel, each testing the strength of the other. But when they learn the true scale of the sorcerer's plan—to awaken an ancient god and rule the world—they realize the war cannot be won alone. Together they lead a final assault against the sorcerer’s volcanic fortress, battling monstrous creatures and undead armies in a massive war that will decide the fate of the world. In the end, Conan recognizes that a new warrior has risen to carry the legend of the barbarian forward, while the Destroyer Barbarian walks away from glory, continuing his path as a wandering force of destruction against evil.
