Arnold Schwarzenegger Confirms He will Return to Acting; Here Are 30 Roles He Should Consider

The days ahead just got a little brighter: Arnold Schwarzenegger has confirmed via Twitter that he will return to acting now that his gubernatorial term is finished! But, not so fast -- Arnold needs to choose his next roles very carefully. Since he took over California, he's gone from bona fide icon to bona fide mega-icon. Rehashing the same roles he was taking before office (Collateral Damage, anyone?) won't do him or us favors. And yes, doing the same types of movies in 3-D is still a rehash. For longevity's sake, he needs a role that will blow minds, that will make everybody rethink what they thought they knew about him -- a role like one of these.

(As always, please do chime in with roles you'd like to see The Governater take for his comeback.)

30. A used car salesman

29. The president

28. A hacker (I see amazing potential for a comedy/thriller here.)

27. An ER surgeon with a pain killer addiction

26. A tortured painter

25. An Irish Catholic priest

24. A school janitor who gets teased by all of the students

23. Count Dracula

18. A workaholic trying to connect with his teenage daughter

17. A truck driver

16. A hard-boiled social worker with a heart of gold

12. A gym teacher

11. A schizophrenic
