Tracer brings a battle-tested presence to Lioness, fitting neatly into an acting career packed with military, law enforcement, and action-heavy roles.

Why Tracer From Lioness Looks So Familiar

Max Martini, known for his role as Tracer in Lioness Season 2, has a long history of playing military and law enforcement characters. He served in Delta Force A and was once the partner of Congresswoman Hernandez in the series. Martini's portrayal of Colonel Henderson in 1998's Saving Private Ryan, seasoned Pan Pacific Defense Corps soldier Herc Hansen in Pacific Rim, Navy SEAL commander in Captain Phillips, and real-life former U.S. Marine Mark Oz Geist in 13 Hours all contributed to his recognizable military background.

Additionally, Martini has had guest appearances on various CSI shows, 24, Criminal Minds, and Lie to Me. Prior to Lioness, Martini was a regular on the spy thriller Level 9 and had a recurring role as Detective Don Ellis on Bosch: Legacy Season 2. He also joined NBC's One Chicago franchise as Deputy District Chief Cranston in Chicago Fire Season 14.

Martini's most substantial military role was his starring turn in The Unit, a CBS series from 2006 to 2009 where he played Mack Gerhardt, a skilled master sergeant. Despite the show's cancellation after four seasons, Martini's experience in military-themed projects continues to enhance his portrayal of Tracer in Lioness.
