In addition to writing the autobiography, he is also still making films and working on environmental issues. Here, he is seen speaking at an energy forum in Austria in June.
Schwarzenegger was governor of California from 2003 until January of this year. A Republican, he often butted heads with the White House of President George W. Bush and has long been critical of the more conservative wing of the Republican party.
