It marks the Marvel star’s first time as one of the bosses on a television series.Although the shoots on the show based on Jack Carr’s bestselling novel were long, and for much of the cast playing members of the military physically taxing, the cast had nothing but praise for their co-star and EP.“What you see is what you get in terms of his great attitude and his enthusiasm,” Jeanne Tripplehorn, who plays Defense Secretary Lorraine Hartley in the series, told TheWrap.Tripplehorn, whose character interacts with Reece as he starts following up on his hunch, said there was a few-month period where she didn’t see Pratt as he filmed more intense material. Despite the emotional demands and physicality of that time, she said her co-star returned for their later-episode scenes with the same enthusiasm he started with.“He energizes everybody by his presence, but I didn’t know what I was going to find four months later, three months down the line,” she continued.
