HOLLYWOOD - Actor-turned-California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is using his political influence to try and terminate the ongoing Hollywood writers strike.

Members of the Writers Guild of America have been striking since Monday after talks between the union and studio representatives failed to resolve a dispute over royalties.

And Schwarzenegger is worried about the financial fallout the strike will have on California.

He says, "I'm talking to the parties that are involved because I think it's very important that we settle that as quickly as possible, because it has a tremendous economic impact on our state."
