However, Gunner will stop at nothing to get his boys back safely as he faces not only a criminal cartel, but also the FBI and local law enforcement as he uses his special training to bring his family back together.

While Joseph currently works as a real estate agent, he’s done the footwork to become a working actor just like his Terminator dad.

Last year, Baena landed his first major role in John Malkovich’s upcoming sci-fi film Chariot.

He also starred in Bully High and an episode of Scam Squad. Baena’s acting career is definitely off to a good start as he has five upcoming movies including Gunner and another action movie titled Called To Duty which is currently in post production.

Celebrity dad Schwarzenegger shares Baena with Mildred Baena, who used to be Schwarzenegger’s housekeeper.

The news of the affair between Arnold and Mildred only came out in 2011, although Baena was born in 1997.

Arnold has four other children: Katherine, Patrick, Christopher and Christina. He shares them all with his ex-wife Maria Shriver.

Joseph appeared on Dancing with the Stars last season and it clearly did his body some good.
