He Changed His Acting For His Debut.
There were no “The Terminator” or “Pumping Iron” in Arnold’s first big-screen appearances. A fantasy comedy called “Hercules in New York” was playing in 1970. Because of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s fantastic physique, the film primarily focused on him as the lead actor. There seems to be some doubt that even if he had the physical appearance of Hercules, he would have been able to win the audience over. To begin with, they posited that Schwarzenegger’s name would be difficult for the general public to pronounce. That’s what they figured right away.
As a result, the media dubbed the bodybuilder “Arnold Strong.” In addition, all of his lines had to be dubbed because of the intensity of his accent. Even as a child, he had a distinct Austrian accent, and it only grew stronger in the 1970s. He is a native of Austria, where he was raised.
