Schwarzenegger Tweets He's Returning To acting

LOS ANGELES — After seven years in the California governor's mansion, Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to his old day job: acting.

Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter that he's ready to start considering film roles again.

The former governor tweeted Thursday night: "Exciting news. My friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today."

Creative Artists Agency is a leading Hollywood talent agency.

Schwarzenegger's personal aide, Daniel Ketchell, confirmed the tweet Friday morning.

Before leading the state of California from 2003 to 2010, the former body builder was the star of such blockbusters as the "Terminator" franchise and "True Lies" and comedies like "Kindergarten Cop" and "Twins."

Watch almost any American movie or TV show, and you'll see the solution to any problem is invariably a GUN.

The lousy actor becomes a lousy governor and is now going back to being a lousy actor, at least he's consistent.

Schwarzenegger is a very successful and fortunate person to have accomplished great things in his life. Someday, many look forward to seeing him hopefully run for president , if possible !

"Schwarzenegger Tweets He's Returning To acting" Shouldn't the word "acting" be in quotes in the headline? Apparently the headline writer has never seen any of his movies.
