The Austrian Oak, looking unstoppably strong and amazingly fit, as demonstrated in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines", turns 56 today! At TAFs, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank Arnold for the dedication and hard work he puts forth for his fans.

Arnold embodies a consistent strength rarely seen in Hollywood leading men of today. It may be argued that he is the Charlton Heston or the John Wayne of our modern era. He is the "big man" on screen who is sure to come through in a pinch and save the day. The world craves these heroes. It will be impossible to find a replacement for Arnold, when his acting career is over. Let's hope that isn't for a long time to come!

It has been our pleasure to follow Arnold's career since the inception of TAFs and we look forward to many more years of reporting his endeavors. Officially, we'd like to see Arnold stay in the movies, but we will stand by and support whatever decision he makes with regards to politics.

Also, we'd like to shout a big "THANK YOU!" for Terminator 3. What a treat and what a ride this action film has turned out to be! Arnold has done the near impossible by giving us three action films from three different decades in which he successfully portrays the SAME character! At TAFs, we recognize the significance of this feat. The training and dedication that Arnold put into preparing for the third Terminator film is more than admirable - it's inspiring!

There is much more we could (and will) say on behalf of our favorite action star, but for now we'd simply like to end with "Happy Birthday Arnold!" And we wish you many more to come!
