1 Comment
Eion Bailey played such an important role, a very physically taxing role, brutal actually, on Covert Affairs, a series that lasted 5 years, and its rarely mentioned on lists of previous acting roles. I just don’t understand it. I’ve seen him in none of the other shows listed but saw his face on his first Hallmark show and recognized him immediately. I’d like to see that part of his career honored.
