An Austrian bodybuilder who decided to retire from the sport he dominated and move into acting, becoming one of the biggest stars in movie history, and sprinkling in being the Governor of California. Oh, and a really hard to spell last name, which most Hollywood types would just change.

The answer is: Hercules in New York. The man who conquered bodybuilding and wanted to become an actor got his first big break when he landed the lead role in 1970's Hercules in New York.But true stardom was still a ways off — his accent was so thick that they had to dub over all of his lines, and he was credited as "Arnold Strong." But by the early '80s, things started to take off and haven't really slowed down since.Source
