Thanks to PerroFlaco for this piece of trivia!
Did you know that Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't get to do the German dub of his own role in The Terminator? The film studio thought his rural Austrian accent didn’t match the tough-guy role, and employed a German voice actor instead.

Do you feel like they made the right choice?
Here are some interviews with him in German:

And here are some one liners from the German dub:

Arnold Schwarzenegger: He wanted to dub his own voice for German versions of the Terminator films, but the film studio thought his rural Austrian accent didn’t match the tough-guy role and employed a German voice actor instead.

Haha, I didn't know that! I found an interview where he speaks German, and it does indeed sound very little like a tough-guy xD

Out of curiosity to hear it in Spanish. He was always dubbed by the same actor, the great Constantino Romero (Darth Vader, Clint Eastwood)

Terminator

Interesting! I know neither German nor Spanish, but the Spanish dub sounded more tough imho :-)

That's funny. Based on the description I expected his German accent to be much different for some reason, but nope he definitely has his iconic voice still. Prefer his over the voiceover, but I also don't speak German so.... :D
