Cameo Role For Gov. Arnold

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to the big screen next year to make a cameo in a comedy written and produced by friend Tom Arnold.

During an appearance Monday on "The Best Damn Sports Show Period," a television show on the Fox network co-hosted by Arnold, Schwarzenegger said he's in the upcoming movie "The Kid and I."

Schwarzenegger didn't reveal what role he would play in the movie, slated to be released sometime next year.

The film, directed by Penelope Spheeris, centers on an actor played by Arnold and a teen stricken with cerebral palsy who dreams of starring in an action film. The movie also stars Joe Mantegna and Shannon Elizabeth.

Arnold said Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred alongside Schwarzenegger and Arnold in 1994's "True Lies," will also make a cameo in the film.
