The action legend was part of True Lies, in which Arnold took on the role of Harry Tasker. The movie performed remarkably well on the screen, and following its success, CBS announced a series with the same name.
The upcoming series will not feature Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his character will be played by Steve Howey. As reported by Variety, Howey was signed to play Harry, the elite secret agent in the series.
Howey, best known for his Showtime show Shameless, is said to be perfect for playing agent Harry after looking at his past roles, including his amazing work in the 2018 action comedy Game Over.
Steve Howey has taken on roles in television shows such as Reba, and he is also known for his movies, including Supercross, DOA: Dead or Alive, Something Borrowed, and many others.
