James Cameron's 1994 action comedy film 'True Lies' starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Harry Trasker, a man leading a double life: at home he is a boring computer salesman to his wife and daughter, but in reality he's an agent for the U.S. government's counter-terrorism task force. With his work distracting him from his home life and his wife flirting with another man, Harry's faced with his most dangerous mission yet. This year marks the film's 20th anniversary, so join us for a look back at the cast of this hit film and see what they're up to now.

Arnold was previously known as a comedian, and had gotten his start writing on 'Roseanne,' where he also appeared on some episodes and began a notorious relationship with the show's star, Roseanne Barr. In 1994, Arnold was just making more of a name for himself, and had a short-lived television series of his own that year called 'Tom.'

Now: Arnold went on to appear in films like 'Nine Months,' 'The Stupids,' and 'McHale's Navy,' and gave it another go with television in 1997 with the series 'The Tom Show,' which was canceled in 1998.
