Colin Donnell plays faux reverent in new show, Irreverent; discusses journey from criminal to Convent

Colin Donnell (best known from Arrow, Chicago Med) has returned to the small screen one again in Peacock's latest hit, Irreverent. Donnell starts as Paulo, who we meet in the middle of an exchange. This James Bond-like moment gets ruined and, through the chaos, leaves Paulo stuck fending for himself in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Donnell said it was so much fun playing Paulo and breaking down who he is as a character, adding that he had to balance out the action with the comedy. Donnell credits many of his co-stars and the writers behind the show, saying their talent makes him look good. Donnell is joined by a slew of known actors and first-timers, including P.J. Byrne, Wayne Blair, Kylie Bracknell, Tegan Stimson, and Calen Tassone (to name a few). Donnell said he hopes fans stick around because everyone in this town has a secret.
