“Covert Affairs” star Piper Perabo loves portraying a character with negative shades.

Perabo, who won praise for playing Juno, the evil head of a private intelligence corporation in South Korea, in spy thriller series โButterflyโ, said the experience was “fun and relaxing”.

“Playing the villain is so much fun… I think the villains in Hollywood keep that secret to themselves so that they donโt have to give up the great parts,” the 48-year-old actor said in an interview.

Also starring Daniel Dae Kim, the series made its debut on Prime Video on August 13.

“I think itโs so relaxing. The getaway car pulls up to you, thereโs no running. You have an endless supply of weapons. Itโs very relaxing,” she added.
ย
Directed by Kim Jin-min, Jann Turner, and Kitao Sakurai, the series comprised six episodes and got mixed responses from the audience.

It is based on the graphic novel series of the same name, and follows David (Kim), Junoโs former partner, who comes out of hiding to save his daughter, Rebecca (portrayed by Reina Hardesty).
ย
The back story follows David leaving Rebecca in Junoโs care nine years earlier, after one of his missions goes wrong and he has no option but to fake his death.

Speaking of character, Perabo said, “I like how clear Junoโs sense of purpose is.” “I always think of her like when you were a kid and youโre on the athletic fields and thereโs this parent on the sidelines whoโs screaming at their kid and just humiliating them and pushing them. Thatโs who I think Juno is,” she added.
