Zoe put self-doubt aside to star in 'Special Ops: Lioness'

The Hollywood actor has starred in three successful film franchises: ‘Avatar’, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Star Trek’

Zoe Saldaña has starred in three successful film franchises: ‘Avatar’, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Star Trek’ and yet when Taylor Sheridan approached her to lead his new TV series, ‘Special Ops: Lioness’, she said no.

“I have ADD and I’m dyslexic, so learning a lot of dialogue was always very daunting. I never thought that I’d ever get to be a part of projects where dialogue and writing are so important to the whole story. I tend to run away from that. I have a hard time focusing, which is why the action genre was always appealing to me,” said Saldaña in an interview before the start of the actors’ strike.
