Meet SSR Chief Roger Dooley!

Before S.H.I.E.L.D., the Strategic Science Reserve helped to keep the peace in an ever-changing world…and now fans will get to meet one of the organization’s first leaders in Marvel’s Agent Carter, debuting on ABC in 2015!

Joining the cast of the highly-anticipated new Marvel television series is Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire, Silver Linings Playbook) in the role of the tough but fair-minded SSR Chief Roger Dooley, the man who will oversee the previously announced Agents Carter (Hayley Atwell), Thompson (Chad Michael Murray) and Sousa (Enver Gjokaj).

Marvel’s Agent Carter, starring Captain America’s Hayley Atwell, follows the story of Peggy Carter. It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy must balance doing administrative work and going on secret missions for Howard Stark all while trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life–Steve Rogers. Inspired by the feature films Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, along with the short Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter.

Starring Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, Chad Michael Murray as SSR Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj as SSR Agent Daniel Sousa, James D’Arcy as Edwin Jarvis, and Shea Whigham as Chief Roger Dooley, Marvel’s Agent Carter was written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Executive producers are Tara Butters, Michele Fazekas, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Chris Dingess, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Joe Quesada, Stan Lee and Jeph Loeb.

Marvel’s Agent Carter is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.
