#SPOTTED: GABRIEL LUNA IN TORONTO FOR “UTAP”

Austin’s Gabriel Luna is in Toronto working on an upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger TV Series titled “UTAP” (title subject to change) for Netflix. The eight-episode Series (at 60 minutes each) also stars Jay Baruchel, Monica Barbaro, Fortune Feimster and more, with Schwarzenegger not only starring-in but also serving as Executive Producer. The Series centers on a father (Schwarzenegger) and daughter (Barbaro) who both secretly work for the C.I.A., and upon them learning of the other’s involvement with the agency, they have to work together as partners.

Luna, known for his memorable work in Terminator: Dark Fate (starring alongside Schwarzenegger), True Detective and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., stars in the new Series as “Boro,” an incredibly charismatic, Oxford-educated businessman, who’s chosen to apply those skills to a career in the illegal arms trade.

So amazing seeing Luna out and about grabbing dinner in the west-end. Despite playing some badasses on-screen, he is the nicest! So gracious! Have been hoping to run into him forever. Absolutely cannot wait to see this new Series, which happens to be Schwarzenegger‘s debut in a TV Series!
