Arnold Schwarzenegger used to be a bodybuilder with a thick Austrian accent when he knocked at the footsteps of Hollywood. Naturally, he was criticized and rejected as people believed that bodybuilders can't act. Some of his earlier work was laughed at and severely ridiculed. But then he created his own genre of roles as the muscle man. His rise to stardom is amazing as he has done some classic roles in films, like – The Terminator, Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Judgement Day, Total Recall and many others.
