Arnold Schwarzenegger Nabs First Post-Scandal Role

He's back!
Less than two months after putting his acting career on hold in the wake of his cheating scandal, Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on to the Western The Last Stand, Deadline reports.
Schwarzenegger will play a border sheriff fighting a Mexican drug cartel — a role that Liam Neeson was attached to play at one point. The film, which will mark the English-language debut of Korean director Jee-woon Kim, will begin production in September for a 2012 release.
