Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger (born Thal, Austria, July 30, 1947) is an Austrian
bodybuilder, actor and a politician, currently serving as the 38th Governor of
California.
As a young man, Schwarzenegger gained widespread attention as a highly
successful bodybuilder, and later gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film
star, perhaps most famed for his role in the The Terminator series.
Schwarzenegger was nicknamed "The Austrian Oak" in his body building days,
"Arnie" during his acting career, and more recently "The Governator" (a portmanteau
of Governor and Terminator, referring to his internationally popular film
role).
Schwarzenegger is a Republican, and was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a
special recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis. Schwarzenegger was
sworn in on November 17, 2003, to serve the remainder of Davis' term.
Schwarzenegger was then reelected on November 7, 2006, in California's 2006
gubernatorial election to serve a full term as governor by defeating Democrat Phil
Angelides, who was California State Treasurer at the time.
Schwarzenegger was sworn in for a second term on January 5, 2007.
In May 2007, he was named as one of the Time 100 people who help shape the
world.
