Arnold Schwarzenegger is a self-made man in every sense of the word. Even after making a name for himself in the world of bodybuilding he still wanted more and decided to pursue an acting career. And although he faced up against some pretty big odds he still managed to make it happen. “It was very difficult for me in the beginning – I was told by agents and casting people that my body was ‘too weird’, that I had a funny accent, and that my name was too long. You name it, and they told me I had to change it. Basically, everywhere I turned, I was told that I had no chance,” he said about his early days in the industry. It just goes to show that it’s all about determination!
