"The Matrix" franchise star Carrie-Anne Moss and Arnold Schwarzenegger had never shared the screen before the Netflix series "FUBAR." The duo had never even met, beyond Moss spotting the hard-to-miss former "Governator" of California at a Los Angeles Starbucks more than a decade ago.
"He had these security people, and they all looked so cool," says Moss. "Now that was a real star sighting."
Moss, 57, comes face-to-face with Schwarzenegger, 77, in Season 2 of the action comedy series (streaming June 12) when the two titans finally get to tango, literally. They dance passionately after Moss steps into the cast as Greta Nelso, an East German spy and former flame who returns to CIA veteran Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger).
"Once we were working together, it felt like it was meant to be," says Moss.
"FUBAR," Schwarzengger's first scripted TV series, takes its title from a profane military reference for "fouled up beyond all recognition" and features the unkillable star, still in the spy game. Luke leads an improbable CIA team that includes his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro) while patching up relations with his ex-wife Tally (Fabiana Udenio). Critics panned Season 1's fest of action scenarios and line replays (like the "Predator" classic "Get to the Choppa!"). But it was unfiltered, gleeful Ah-nold.
