‘Special Ops: Lioness’ on Paramount+ is an action-thriller series starring Zoe Saldana, Laysla De Oliveira, Michael Kelly, Morgan Freeman, and Nicole Kidman. The series, which was created by Taylor Sheridan, follows Joe, the station chief for the Lioness programme, as he trains Cruz, a recently hired female Marine officer. As the story goes on, Cruz meets Joe’s team, including Bobby, who soon establishes himself as a helpful character for the new hire. Viewers must be interested in finding out more about Bobby and the actress who plays her given her significance in the narrative. In any case, here is all the information you require for Bobby in “Special Ops: Lioness.” Spoilers follow!
Who is Bobby?
The first episode of “Special Ops: Lioness,” titled “Sacrificial Soldiers,” features Bobby’s introduction. She is present in the opening scene, which depicts a failed mission in Syria that results in the loss of one of Joe’s field personnel. Bobby is properly introduced later in the episode when Cruz Manuelos joins the group. Bobby is the head of the CIA-affiliated Quick Reaction Force (QRF) group for the Lioness programme. She appears to be a skilled markswoman and acts as the squad’s calming influence. Joe and Cruz are the only two women in the team.
Cruz is transferred to the squad in the second episode, “The Beating,” where she tells Bobby about the unjust and illegal SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) exam that was administered to her. Bobby becomes upset as a result and assaults the officers in charge of Cruz’s SERE test. The altercation at the bar helps Cruz and her new comrades, particularly Bobby, get closer. Bobby is a skilled and cunning field agent, but she also has empathy for her coworkers and other people off the field.
Why Plays Bobby?
Bobby is portrayed by actress Jill Wagner in “Special Ops: Lioness.” Wagner became well-known during her time as a field agent on Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg’s reality prank show ‘Punk’d’. As the host of the game programme “Wipeout,” she garnered even more notoriety. With her recurring appearance as Larrin in “Stargate Atlantis,” which was well-received by viewers, Wagner made the transition from unscripted to scripted television acting. However, Wagner’s portrayal as Kate Argent in the supernatural adolescent drama “Teen Wolf,” in which she appeared in 20 episodes over the course of six seasons, is likely what makes her most well-known. The ‘Mystery 101’ franchise of made-for-television films on the Hallmark Channel is among Wagner’s more recent credits.
It is safe to conclude that Wagner’s portrayal of Bobby is a significant departure from the roles she has portrayed in the past. Wagner also appears to have changed physically in order to portray the tough-talking QRF team commander. In an interview, Wagner claimed that she put in a lot of work to be in shape for the part, working out for an hour and a half every day to look like her character. According to Wagner, her part in “Special Ops: Lioness” is less lighthearted and more serious than any of her past roles. Along with the show’s creator Taylor Sheridan, co-stars Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman, and Wagner herself, the series also counts these individuals as executive producers.
