Michael Kelly Discusses His Role as CIA Deputy Director Byron Westfield on ‘Special Ops: Lioness’

Actor and Emmy Award nominee Michael Kelly joins us to discuss his role in the hit Paramount+ espionage series ‘Special Ops: Lioness.’

“Absolute A-game. I was blown away. Like, I always carry my sides to set. And this was one of those, you know, set up around a long table with Zoe, Nicole, and Tyler, the four of us. The scene was pages long. And you’d usually just carry your sides to rehearsal. And I get in there, and I’m there early. I’m sitting at the table waiting for everybody else, and I’m just flipping through my sides. I knew it; like, I worked my ass off on it. And I knew, you know, your first day, you’ve got to go in really prepared. And I see Nicole and Zoe both walking in without sides. And I take my sides, and I quickly stick them under my CIA folder. I was like, I’m not going to be the only guy here with them.
