Arnold Schwarzenegger

Schwarzenegger's commercial high-water mark was his return as the title character in 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which was the highest-grossing film 1991. In 1993, the National Association Theatre Owners named him the "International Star the Decade." His next film project, the 1993 self-aware action comedy spo Last Action Hero was released opposite Jurassic Park, with the box fice suffering accordingly. His next film, the comedy drama True Lies (1994) was a highly popular spy film, and saw Schwarzenegger, reunited with James Cameron, appearing opposite Jamie Lee Curtis.
Shortly thereafter came the comedy Junior (1994), the last his three collaborations with Ivan Reitman and again co-starring Danny DeVito and also for the second time featuring Pamela Reed. This film brought Schwarzenegger his second Golden Globe nomination, this time for Best Actor – Musical or Comedy. It was followed by the action thriller Eraser (1996) and the comic book-based Batman & Robin (1997), where he played the villain Mr. Freeze. This was his final film before taking time to recuperate from a back injury. Following the critical failure Batman & Robin, Schwarzenegger's film career and box fice prominence went into decline.
Several film projects were announced with Schwarzenegger attached to star, including the remake Planet the Apes, a new film version I Am Legend, and a World War II film scripted by Quentin Tarantino that would have seen Schwarzenegger play an Austrian for the fourth time (after Stay Hungry, Junior and Kindergarten Cop).
