Why didn't you go out for this?’ And my sister's like, ‘You need to call your agents right now. This is ridiculous that you're not in on the show and that you didn't even audition.’”

Schwarzenegger continued to share that when the confirmation popped into his mail box, he couldn’t hold back his tears, and the first person he shared the news with was his fiancee.
