ATrinidadian actor is making his television debut in Shonda Rhimes\u2019s new Netflix series Inventing Anna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kieron J. Anthony stars in episode eight of the series in which he plays a psychiatrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inventing Anna is based on the true story of socialite Anna Sorokin aka Anna Delvey, who swindled her way into the American elite society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The series began on Friday and stars Ozark actress Julia Garner, Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black), Anna Chlumsky (My Girl) and Katie Lowes (Scandal), among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anthony\u2019s scene was spent entirely with Garner. He told Loop News that the role boosted his confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJulia Garner is an Emmy winner for Ozark. All my scenes are just with her one on one. I kept thinking they are trusting me enough to do this with this Emmy winner, let me trust in myself too, they wouldn\u2019t have chosen me if I couldn\u2019t match her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said when he revealed at the end of the scene that this was his first TV gig everyone was shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anthony, 32, auditioned for the show after his agent presented the opportunity to him and he trained with his acting coach in preparation for the audition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process took place in the early stages of the pandemic and Anthony, who contemplated returning home, said he is fortunate that he remained in New York where the series was shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acknowledging the strength of Netflix as a platform, Anthony said budding actors always hope to book television series to get their name out there and to get solid footage for their reels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
