Arnold Schwarzenegger

Following his arrival as a Hollywood superstar, he made a number successful films: Commando (1985), Raw Deal (1986), The Running Man (1987), and Red Heat (1988). In Predator (1987), another successful film, Schwarzenegger led a cast which included future Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura (Ventura also appeared in The Running Man and Batman & Robin with Schwarzenegger) and future candidate for governor Kentucky Sonny Landham.
Twins (1988), a comedy with Danny DeVito, was a change pace, and also proved successful. Total Recall (1990) netted Schwarzenegger $10 million and 15% the gross, and was a widely praised, science fiction script directed by Paul Verhoeven, based on the Philip K. Dick short story, "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale". Kindergarten Cop (1990) reunited him with director Ivan Reitman, who directed him in Twins. The movie also featured actress Pamela Reed.
Schwarzenegger had a brief foray into directing, first with a 1990 episode the TV series Tales from the Crypt, entitled "The Switch", and then with the 1992 telemovie Christmas in Connecticut. He has not directed since.
