Watch for things to heat up considerably on tonight’s third season opener of USA’s hit drama COVERT AFFAIRS. When young CIA operative Annie Walker returns to the agency after a dangerous mission, things have changed…and not necessarily for the better. And, despite having to deal with complicated office relations, she continues to transform into an expert op with major martial arts skills. Created by CHRIS ORD and MATT CORMAN, the cast includes PIPER PERABO, CHRISTOPHER GORHAM, PETER GALLAGHER, DEVIN KELLY and SENDHIL RAMAMURTHY.

As WALKER, PERABO had to master a variety of martial arts moves and, during our recent interview, she talked about the rigorous training she goes through in order to do a lot of her own stunts.

The third season of COVERT AFFAIRS begins tonight on USA
