The rumour of the day is that Austrian bodybuilder and former Mr. Universe Roland Kickinger is being approached to play Conan. So they'd be trying to hit par for the course. Kickinger has already played some small bits in other films, including having played Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He'd be campy too, I'm sure. I haven't seen him onscreen so I dunno. Maybe the rumours are floating around simply because he's an Austrian bodybuilder and has been onscreen before. *Shrugs* Oh...but apparently he's 5" taller than Arnold, so there's that.
See him act here: http://www.kickinger.com/video/video2.html
