SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Art will imitate life when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger spends a few hours playing himself later this year in a movie by Sylvester Stallone.
Stallone's publicist, Sheryl Main, revealed more details Tuesday of Schwarzenegger's rare big-screen appearance. The governor said he has done just three cameos for friends since becoming governor in 2003.
Shooting on the film, "The Expendables," will begin March 28 in Brazil and move to New Orleans for two months. Main says the governor will shoot his scene in Los Angeles.
His role will be a familiar one: California governor.
Stallone writes, directs and stars in the movie, a film about a group of mercenaries trying to overthrow a South American dictator. It also stars Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke and Forest Whitaker.

To be fair, he's a complete dick as governer (he's as environmentally friendly as salt rain on the planet of the slugs), but at the same time, he is crap in the films he was in when he was YOUNGER, for god sake.

Looks like he's going to stick to that"I'll be back" quote, though....

Here's one little question I have about his status.
If you watched a number of films featuring Schwarzenegger, you'd notice a bit of a connection between his characters.

The Terminator series: Bloodthirsty killer android.
Predator: Large-gun toting marine.

I don't think any of his films have featured him playing a successful political role.....
Unless you count his The Simpsons counterpart, McBain...but then, even in that he just got manipulated.


I would never have voted to have him in power. It sounds to me like it's a little publicity stunt for the people of California.

Shelton calls him the Governator....

Really though, if it was Britain, I'd say it was a joke. America? They probably do think he IS the Terminator or something.

Crimson, I just want to point something out. Your signature is a little big.

Normally I wouldn't mind, but the picture is going to give me nightmares.

Only in America...

Arnie quote time!

The public doesn't care about figures." -discussing his economic views

"Don't worry about that." -on the environment

"Well, there was no sex for 14 days." -on getting the cold shoulder from his wife after backing President George W. Bush at the Republican Convention


Looking like / being a movie star doesn't always make a bad politician. I'm still not convinced Obama wasn't in I Am Legend. And no, I'm not saying that because he's black, I'm saying that because he IS Will Smith. Just listen to the voice!

[When asked about his character in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)] "He's black."
XD Sam should be president. He'd be waay better than Will Smith.

Yes Samuel, and Chewbacca shits in the woods. Is the Emperor a Sith?
