Arnold Schwarzenegger, 79, shares fit-physique birthday photos
On Arnie's birthday, a great Arnie story. When they were doing localized language dubs for THE TERMINATOR he asked if he could dub himself in German. They told him no. When he asked why, they said "Sorry, Arnold, but you sound like a farmer."
Bailey G. Albreit2So he probably couldn't have been an actor in Austria, Germany, or Switzerland because he sounds like a country bumpkin in his native tongue?
TKarney2Flip side... when he went home, as Governor all the people who came to hear him speak were gobsmacked, because they'd never heard him; and all had the mental image of the voice actor who dubs his lines.

Bill Stewart1Watched the German-dubbed version of My Cousin Vinny on an airplane. The judge's voice was done by a Bavarian. Vinny was some fast-talking northerner, iirc Berliner. I'm in a band that plays a lot of German/Austrian music, and even the city Austrian dialects are way different from Hochdeutsch.
