What does a producer do when his next big project is a TV series based on a very popular film that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger? Should he cast a similar type or go in a different direction? “True Lies” showrunner Matt Nix laid it on the line: “There was no universe where we’re gonna cast a giant muscled man with an Austrian accent. That just doesn’t exist.”
“True Lies,” which premieres on CBS Wednesday at 10 p.m. is about a suburban couple that is at the doldrums in their marriage, and the wife (Helen) is concerned her husband (Harry) might be having an affair only to discover that he is in fact an international superspy. The discovery shakes up their marriage, but also reinvigorates it, especially when she is brought into the spy agency, and her life changes dramatically.

Steve Howey landed small roles on TV throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s before ultimately securing the recurring role of Van Montgomery on the WB sitcom "Reba" from 2001 to 2007. Howey's role on "Reba" helped propel him into the spotlight, which led to his performances in films like "Bride Wars" and shows like "Psych" in the mid to late 2000s. Arguably, Howey is most known for his role as Kevin Ball in the acclaimed Showtime series "Shameless," which he starred in from 2011 to 2021. Up next, Howey is starring in the CBS action series "True Lies," which premieres on the network and Paramount+ on March 1.
Outside of his lengthy acting career, though, Howey has maintained a private personal life. The actor's only public relationship has been with fellow actor Sarah Shahi, whom he was married to from 2009 to 2021. Following his divorce from Shahi, Howey appears to be single and focused on his career at the moment,...

It's hard to believe that the show about our favorite dysfunctional family just went into its ninth season. For nearly a decade, we've tuned in to Shameless to watch the Gallaghers attempt to navigate their controversial schemes and unfathomable debacles. We've seen the craziest plot lines, from Frank Gallagher attempting to seduce his own daughter to Liam's kidnapping. It's safe to say the show is a nonstop shock fest, and we expect season nine will feature no shortage of unimaginable drama and cringeworthy twists.
Through the years, we've watched Lip Gallagher and Kevin Ball glow up into two sexy studs, but the entire cast has truly undergone a complete transformation. While we continue to enjoy the season nine antics, we're looking back on the cast through the years, and you won't believe the changes. Keep reading for the side-by-side comparisons.
