FUBAR stars Arnold Schwarzenegger (Schwarzenegger) and Monica Barbaro discuss the father-daughter dynamic in thier new netflix series, which marks Schwarzenegger's first leading TV role:
FUBAR follows Luke Brunner, a seasoned CIA operative who has been lying to his family for decades and is on the brink of retirement. However, before he can finish serving his country, he is shocked to learn that his daughter, Emma, has also been lying to him for years and is a CIA operative as well.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Well, I think it was just such a brilliant idea to do something, kind of a concept that comes from a very, very successful movie. True Lies was one of the biggest hits of the year directed by Jim Cameron and written by him. And so when David Ellison came to me with that idea to do a kind of action comedy like True Lies, but to do a whole eight episodes I was very, very excited about that and went all out and did it.
Monica Barbaro: I love that this story is just a father and daughter working out all of their issues, but in the setting of also trying to save the world. I think that just lends itself to a beautiful comedic tone that Nick Santora wrote so well, and we had a lot of fun with that. We give each other a hard time, so it makes it nice and easy to have that father-daughter chemistry on set.
So this is really unbelievable to have someone carry, Tom of course is the star, but I mean she was the one that kind of almost stole the show there, and she just really was shining all the way through that movie. And so when I heard that she's signing onto do this TV series, I was very excited about that because she was spectacular in that and to have someone like her be that good with action. So that to me was really important. And she came to the set.
