Ha! Spitfire, great question there
Two of my heroes, albeit in very different spectrums of their craft.
I admire Arnie due to his absolutely unwavering determination to succeed in everything he ever did. Seven times Mr. Olympia, Mr. Universe also. Then branching out into some very successful movies and finally becoming a very popular Governor of California. He's a nice guy too.
David Gilmour (lead guitarist with Pink Floyd, for those not in the know) has had an equally wonderful career and has made a lot of money from his music. He's also a great chap and has an exquisite lifestyle.
I'll plump for Gilmour I think as there would be less competition. Schwarzenegger had to constantly better himself in bodybuilding, then do what film producers would tell him and finally answer to political demands.
Both are naturally gifted in their own fields but Gilmour has nobody to look up to. He just plays as he wishes.
