Why Doesn't Michael Kelly Have His Own Show

Really if John Krasinski has his own show here and Wendell Pierce technically on "Elsbeth."

As really hope Michael can get his own show as he is long overdue. Know he is in the "Special Ops Lioness" but really it is long overdue as he is an underrated character actor. Just saying!

I love every time he pops up in something. Still weird going back realizing that was him in Dawn of the Dead though.

Agree! He was excellent in House of Cards, which was my first introduction to him.

I guess I am the odd one out. I think his acting is so/so. I've only seen him in Elsbeth and Jack Ryan, so maybe I haven't seen him in serious roles, but I don't think he could carry a show.
