Now, during an interaction, Steve spoke about working with Selena and her acting skills.

As per the FemaleFirst website, the veteran actor stated, "I knew Selena but didn't know her work. Though I dance around the house to her music all the time. But I didn't know her theatric(al) work."

Steve added that he searched about Selena on the Internet and thought she is a beginner and a young actor. The actor then said, "And then she's done more movies than I have."

The Pink Panther actor revealed that he is very much interested in the true crime genre. Steve said, "I'm interested in the solving of a crime. But I decided that it was important to play it straight. It still looks like a spoof."

The show is about three strangers who are obsessed with true crime.
