Nick Santora says that Arnold Schwarzenegger is an inspiration to him

The ace writer and producer revealed  in a statement that the legendary actor was a major source of motivation to him during his childhood.“I grew up watching Arnold Schwarzenegger movies – I’d hit my dad for a few bucks so I could run to the movies and see the world’s biggest star on the big screen,” Santora said. “So creating the first scripted TV project for Arnold is incredibly exciting to me.”
