Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't wait long before deciding to get back into the game and has now given his agent the "green light" to start getting him acting jobs. 

"Exciting news. My friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today," Schwarzenegger announced via Twitter

The former governor left his post last month amid an estimated $25 billion California budget deficit, but he had kept quiet about whether his plans included more political ambitions or a return to acting. 

As governor, the 'Terminator' star did make a cameo appearance in last year's movie 'The Expendables' and that film's sequel, 'The Expendables II,' is scheduled for release in 2012.
