Jill Wagner discusses ‘Lioness’ role and past hosting career

Actress Jill Wagner, known for her role as CIA operative Bobby in the Paramount+ series ‘Lioness’, has recently drawn attention for her previous career as a co-host on the ABC obstacle-course competition series ‘Wipeout’, which aired from 2008 to 2014.

Wagner shared on social media that she enjoys the ability to transform into different characters, noting that her diverse filmography includes roles in ‘Teen Wolf’ and various holiday films.

In discussing her current work on ‘Lioness’, Wagner also shared insights into working with creator and director Taylor Sheridan. She recounted a challenging experience during the third season where Sheridan requested she rework a scene using her non-dominant hand with only ten minutes of preparation. Co-star Laysla De Oliveira noted that Sheridan’s tendency to change plans on the spot requires actors to remain highly adaptable.
