10 Characters From The Simpsons Who Were Total Rip-Offs

3. Rainier Wolfcastle Is An Animated Arnold Schwarzenegger

From his muscle-bound good looks to Austrian accent to his over-paid action movie roles, Rainier Wolfcastle is the spitting image of former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, the two are separate individuals, as both are seen in The Simpsons' Movie: Wolfcastle is seen in the "mob carrying torches" seen, while Schwarzenegger is the President of the United States (looking and sounding exactly like Wolfcastle, with slightly-darker hair and more age lines on the face.) For awhile, Wolfcastle was simply known as "McBain," a Die Hard-like action-adventure movie cop character from movies of the same name. When a movie also known as McBain was released in America in 1991, The Simpsons writers were not granted permission to continue using the name; "Rainier Wolfcastle" was introduced as the actor's real name. Both names have since been granted permission for use.
