Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger blasted his way to stardom in blockbuster action films like the Terminator. When he did the unexpected and shifted into comedy, his fan base expanded. But his road to the top was not a smooth one.

He was a body builder from Austria with a thick accent, the funny sounding name, and almost no acting experience. And when he showed up in Hollywood and told people he was determined to become a star, he was laughed at. But what the experts did not know about this former Mr. Universe was that his most well-developed muscle was his brain. And with it, he orchestrated career moves that took him to the top.
