Book Michael Kelly
Michael Kelly is an American actor celebrated for his chilling turn as Doug Stamper, the fiercely loyal chief of staff in Netflix's political drama House of Cards, a role he played across all six seasons. He has become a fixture of the espionage genre, playing CIA officer Mike November on Prime Video's Jack Ryan and returning for Jack Ryan: Ghost War (2026), and starring as CIA deputy director Byron Westfield on the Paramount+ thriller Lioness. Earlier television credits include FBI agent Ron Goddard on The Sopranos, the miniseries Generation Kill and the period drama Taboo, and he also appears in The Penguin. Horror fans remember him as CJ in Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake, and his film résumé includes Invincible (2006), Changeling (2008), The Adjustment Bureau (2011), Chronicle, Man of Steel (2013), Now You See Me and Everest (2015). Known for intense, controlled performances and a quietly commanding screen presence, Kelly brings serious prestige-drama credibility to any panel, screening or conversation about the craft of acting and the world of political and spy storytelling.
