West Toluca Lake, CA -- New California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has been teased for the way he pronounces the name of his home state, but that's nothing compared to the giggles he caused with some of his past accent antics.

Hollywood dialect coach Robert Easton worked with "Ahnuld" to tone down his Austrian accent for "Conan the Barbarian" and says it so thick that the actor once asked for a "crap cocktail" in a seafood restaurant.

Easton quickly corrected the action star, letting him know that "crap" really meant "schiza," but that wasn't the last time he had to help Arnie.

While the two were working on the movie "Red Heat," he had to teach Arnold how to deliver the line "This man has no pulse" -- which came out of Arnold's mouth as "This man has no balls."

Easton thinks Arnold's accent serves him just fine these days, demonstrating a directness that helped him win the Governor's office.
