Leo Oliva is shipping out soon…

The Cuban-American actor has landed a recurring role on the upcoming fifth season of TNT’s drama series, The Last Ship, which will premiere sometime next year.

Co-created by Hank Steinberg and Steve Kane, the postapocalyptic naval drama stars Eric Dane, Adam Baldwin and Bridget Regan.

The series details the aftermath of a global catastrophe that nearly decimates the world’s population. Now, CNO Captain Tom Chandler (Dane) and his crew must confront the reality of their new existence in a world where they may be among the few remaining survivors. Doherty will play Clayton, a cadet at the U.S. Navel Academy who becomes Chandler’s protege.

Oliva is Pena, the scariest of Octavio’s special operators.

Oliva recently booked guest spots on Amazon’s I Love Dick, CBS’ Scorpion and NCIS: Los Angeles.
