Correct Answer: Hercules in New York
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
