Schwarzenegger Returns To Acting In Animated 'The Governator'

NEW YORK (AP) —  With his years as governor behind him, Arnold Schwarzenegger will soon return to his acting career in a new animated TV series.

The planned action-comedy cartoon is called "The Governator," according to A Squared Entertainment, a partner in the venture. It will focus on a superhero living a double life as an ordinary family man. Schwarzenegger will provide the voice of the title character.

Comic-book legend Stan Lee is another partner in the project, which will be officially announced Monday at the MIPTV trade show in Cannes, France.

The series is planned as the first stage of a franchise that could also include comics and films.
