Biography

Arnold Schwarzenegger is an Austrian and American actor and former professional bodybuilder who was born in Thal, Austria. He started weight training as a teenager and won the Mr. Universe title at 20 and Mr. Olympia seven times. His role in the bodybuilding film Pumping Iron (1977) helped launch his acting career. His breakthrough came with Conan the Barbarian (1982), and he became a major action star with The Terminator (1984) and its sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). His other notable films include Commando (1985), Predator (1987), Twins (1988), Total Recall (1990), Kindergarten Cop (1990), True Lies (1994), and Jingle All the Way (1996). He won a Golden Globe for New Star of the Year for Stay Hungry (1976) and was later nominated for Junior (1994). He also directed episodes of television and a telemovie.

Did you know?!

  1. First role

    Schwarzenegger aimed to shift from bodybuilding to acting, and he reached that goal when cast as the title character in Hercules in New York (1970). For the film he used the stage name "Arnold Strong".

  2. A role that slipped away

    Schwarzenegger tried out for the title role in The Incredible Hulk, but his height kept him from winning the part. Lou Ferrigno later got the role of Dr. David Banner's alter ego.

  3. A role that slipped away

    Schwarzenegger turned down a lead role in The Rock, a well received box office hit. In the decades that passed, he came to regret that decision.

  4. A first

    Schwarzenegger returned in 1970 and won the competition, becoming the youngest ever Mr. Olympia at 23, a record that still stands today.
