You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger star in the ’80s than Arnold Schwarzenegger, both literally and figuratively. In the ’70s, he built a reputation for himself courtesy of his impressive physique, with one of his earliest cinematic roles being as Hercules in Hercules in New York. However, all of his lines were dubbed by another actor, so he didn’t get to showcase much more than his looks. Then, in 1982, he debuted as the titular character in Conan the Barbarian, which more adequately demonstrated his screen presence. He went on to reprise the role for the sequel Conan the Destroyer.
