FUBAR’s Monica Barbaro Says Arnold Schwarzenegger Has a Particular Way of Working on Set

by

As a seasoned movie enthusiast who has had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of Hollywood stardom over the years, I find myself captivated by Monica Barbaro’s journey from television to the silver screen. Her experiences working with two of the most iconic action stars of our time, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Cruise, offer a unique insight into the diverse working styles that have defined their respective careers.

Over the past few years, the career of actress Monica Barbaro has soared, transitioning significantly from television to film with a standout supporting role in “Top Gun: Maverick”. She also played Joan Baez opposite Timothée Chalamet in the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown”. Although she’s not entirely abandoned television, she discussed her experiences working alongside action legend [actor’s name] on “FUBAR”, and compared his approach to that of Tom Cruise during the filming of “Top Gun” in a recent interview on Collider’s Ladies Night.

On this show where I work, Arnold Schwarzenegger portrays my father in an inspiring yet unique manner. Despite being a dedicated worker, he maintains a relaxed attitude towards many aspects of life and doesn’t ask too many questions. Instead, he seems to gather only the information necessary for his tasks. At times, I feel that I might be overly curious or share too much, but he sets clear boundaries at work which I believe is beneficial for him, allowing him to excel in various other areas as well. Interestingly, while we’re not polar opposites, observing their approaches during my time working with them has been quite enlightening, showcasing how drastically different methods can coexist and still produce remarkable results, even in the realm of 90s action stars.

Barbaro portrays Schwarzenegger’s daughter in the series “FUBAR“, and over eight episodes during the first season, she’s been getting accustomed to his work methods. The show revolves around a father-daughter duo who hide their jobs as CIA agents from each other until they are compelled to collaborate when their secret is exposed. As they deepen their professional bond, they simultaneously uncover aspects of one another while executing perilous missions.

Hollywood Stars Have Their Own Way of Working

When actors such as Schwarzenegger and Cruise reach superstardom, productions often adapt to their preferred methods of work. Their significant influence within the industry reshapes work processes to accommodate the multiple roles they’ve amassed throughout their careers. Tom Cruise, a meticulous and record-setting filmmaker, is younger than Arnold Schwarzenegger, which could account for his hands-on approach in managing his films. Beyond being on-screen talents, figures like Schwarzenegger and Cruise are also producers, business administrators, unofficial stunt coordinators, creative directors, and self-contained economies – not just men of business, but men who represent a business.

In a short while, you’ll see Barbaro and Schwarzenegger back on screen again, as production for Season 2 of the series “FUBAR” started in May. This season will also welcome Carrie-Anne Moss from “The Matrix” to its cast. Previously featured actors such as Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Milan Carter, Barbara Eve Harris, Fabiana Udenio, Andy Buckley, and Jay Baruchel are all set to return to the show.
