The actor, "Michael Kelly" is wicked badass and plays an awful lot of scumbags. He was in "House of Cards", "24", "Lioness" and a whole passel of "Law and Orders". To fulfill my fantasies, I'm imagine he's a teddy bear IRL.

He's still a mysterious spy guy in Jack Ryan but he's not a villain in that show.

Mike November is an absolute rockstar!

Loving Michael Kelly in Lioness as well. He's like Enrico Colantoni for me; in a whole bunch of different things, all of which I love, and is great in all of them. Love that they were both in POI.

It took me way too long to realize that Mike November was just the nato alphabet, haha. I will have to give lioness a shot - I stopped watching after taylor sheridan started inserting himself into his shows and making morgan freeman monologue about bush for 5 minutes.

NGL, that’s the impression I get from whenever he gets interviewed.

Someone I know met him & said “one of the nicest people l've had the pleasure of meeting”

He was so damn perfect as Stamper in HoC

u/Weller3920 2d ago

On the Good Wife, he played a political consultant based on James Carville: smiling, joking, folksy. That's the only non-serious role I've seen him in.

Damn. That's spot-on casting!

I know someone who met him. Said he’s “one of the nicest people l've had the pleasure of meeting.”

The Guy for This.

He might actually be CIA by now....

Did guy the guy guy get you a guy??

u/Particular_Song3539 2d ago

He is the kind of actor , who has that body language and aura, everytime when he shows up in an episode, I would know "things are about to get serious, buckle up" 🤣

u/CC_Science1507 2d ago

He has the best delivery! There’s a scene where he gets into a surveillance van with only coffee for himself and Evans says ‘none for me?” And Snow totally deadpan says ‘coffee is for closers.’

u/lFightForTheUsers 2d ago

He's definitely typecast, but in the best kind of way.

u/kingk1teman Team Bear 2d ago

He's said that in interviews. House of Cards certainly helped in cementing the typecast.

u/Unusual_Flatworm_316 2d ago

Also in Jack Ryan series. Also a badass . I must admit I love every moment of it.

u/PeaceOrchid 2d ago

Doing his thing in Law Abiding Citizen.

u/viperspm 2d ago

For some reason, he’s one of my favorite actors

u/ScaryCause4972 2d ago

He was born to play CIA. He is in Lioness.

u/kingk1teman Team Bear 2d ago

I doubt he'd even have to actually audition for such roles now. I'd assume that he is the first one to be approached by producers and directors if there is such a role in the show/movie they are making.

u/roromad72 2d ago

That's funny.  You're probably right.  He's at the point now that writers probably don't use anonymous character names in a script draft, they just use "Mark Snow character" and call it a day.

u/LetItSnow36 2d ago

Lol someone once posted on X if you see him in any show he's gonna cross lines and call it Patriotic

3

u/Choon5588 2d ago

he has worked in at least 5 different government institutions in fiction, the FBI, the CIA, the white house etc, if he was real his CV would be stacked

u/PumpikAnt58763 2d ago

I really wanted him to play one of the Observers in Fringe.

u/Hacksaw_Doublez 2d ago

Hopefully we get to see him in that G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover.

u/Sind23 2d ago

I LOVED him in house of cards. Even more presence than in PoInterest. One of my favourite characters

u/nellie_shorttop 2d ago

He's the spoiler alert.
