Character Bio
A quick talking lone wolf with his own ideas on how to best handle dangerous situations, Jesse Porter (Coby Bell) is the kind of guy Michael would rather have as a friend than an enemy. While trying to access classified information, Michael inadvertently burned Jesse and got him fired from his government post, which made their relationship tense...to say the least.
Jesse began his career in the field but was quickly deemed too reckless in his pursuit of justice. Because of this, Jesse was reassigned to a Counterintelligence Unit, where his enthusiasm for seeing bad people punished would be put to far better use.
As a Counterintelligence Officer, Jesse became an expert in reading spies. He earned a reputation as someone who could pull the truth from even the most seasoned professional liar. His intensity and passion for justice make Jesse a very valuable asset to Michael's team—and perhaps also the most dangerous.
