Oh, dude, that's a good one! So, technically, Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't an extra in Scarface. He was actually considered for the role of Tony Montana, which eventually went to Al Pacino. Can you imagine Arnold saying, "Say hello to my little friend"? Like, that would've been a totally different movie!

No, Arnold Schwarzenegger was not an extra in the movie Scarface. Schwarzenegger is a well-known actor and former bodybuilder who has starred in numerous films, but he did not appear in Scarface. The lead role in Scarface was played by Al Pacino, not Schwarzenegger.

No that wasn't Arnold. In 1970 Arnold was in Hercules In New York, plus 10 more movie/TV jobs, including CONAN THE BARBARIAN by 1982. Scarface wasn't until 1983. What established actor do you know that does background extra work? Pause the film and look closely. It's not Arnold.

I've heard this for decades & just accepted it, but it's not him. Scarface was shot in 1983. Arnold's 1st movie was in 1970 "Hercules In New York", he was 23yrs old. In 1982 he shot "Conan The Barbarian". And he was RIPPED! Not him.

1982 Arnold shot the Movie "Conan The Barbarian". A major film. No actor does background work after a block buster movie. It's not him. And doesn't look like him.
