This is not the first time we will see the Australian actor in the role of a detective. In his 1994 comedy thriller, True Lies, Schwarzenegger played a detective as well, which was a role that has still stayed with the fans. So much so that fans think that the show will be similar to the same. However, Schwarzenegger has admitted that there lies a connection between the two in a recent interview.
