Arnold Schwarzenegger is an Austrian bodybuilder who became an action movie icon in the 1980s. Schwarzenegger's first film, Pumping Iron, earned him the attention of the American public in 1977. In it, the many-times bodybuilding champion showed a sly wit and an ability to psych out his fellow competitors. Some of these character traits have been adapted and enhanced in his starring roles in blockbuster action movies.

He overcame a thick accent and impossible name and with the role of "Conan the Barbarian" (1982) was launched on the road to super-stardom.

[R]ecounted muscly action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger in a recent speech referring to his mother's concerns over his fascination with bodybuilding. Frau Schwarzenegger needn't have worried. Young Arnie's obsession was to propel him from his humble origins as an Austrian farm boy to one of the world's most popular action heroes. Born in 1947 and growing up in an isolated village, Arnold got into bodybuilding – working out five hours a day – as a ticket to a better life, eventually winning the Mr Universe title at the age of 20 in 1967, and repeating the feat another four times in a row. Then, after scooping the Mr Olympia accolade on no fewer than six occasions, he turned his attention to pursuing the American dream. Arriving in the US in 1968 with $20 in his pocket, he got off to an inauspicious start.
