The son of the legendary Arnold, Patrick Schwarzenegger inherited his father’s tough charisma. A climax for his character, all fired up!
Lizzie Broadway is Emma Meyer
From Shameless to NCIS via Bones, actress Lizzie Broadway is a must-see on the small screen, with a stellar performance in Gen V. The height of it all is when you know your character’s powers!
