Selena Kuznikov HBO broadcast its first women’s boxing bout, between Kali Reis and Cecilia Brækhus, in 2018. Just six years later, Reis is one of the stars on HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country,” where she plays Detective Evangeline Navarro alongside Jodie Foster. That could very well be the first time any HBO lead was first seen on the pay cabler in a boxing match.
“What’s really great about this whole journey is that things that are so far fetched are like not impossible in some part of my brain that understands that it’s a possibility,” Reis tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. “And I think that’s one of the many things that keeps me grinding so hard.” In the series, Reis plays Evangeline Navarro, a half-Dominican state trooper in Ennis, a fictional town in rural northern Alaska. Reis spoke to the Awards Circuit Podcast about her interpretation of the ending and whether she thinks Navarro is still alive.
Listen below! “Catch the Fair One,” which follows a young Native American woman trying to find her younger sister in a sex trafficking ring, was the first film Reis had ever starred in. She says Josef Kubota Wladyka, writer and director of the movie, reached out to her because of her advocacy for missing and murdered Indigenous women. Reis, who is Indigenous and Black, says boxing, at that time, wasn’t feeling like an outlet for her.
She was pondering picking up acting, and felt that if it was meant for her, it would find her. Then, a week later, Wladyka sent her a DM on Instagram asking her if she had ever thought about pursuing acting. “He kept telling me, ‘you got that something, you got that sauce K,'” Reis says of Wladyka.
