Heléne Yorke joins ‘Graves’

Heléne Yorke & Callie Hernandez Join Epix Comedy Series ‘Graves’

Masters Of Sex standout Heléne Yorke & Callie Hernandez has booked series regular role opposite Nick Nolte in the Epix original series Graves, a single-camera half-hour political satire produced by Lionsgate.
Yorke will play Olivia Graves, who was the “perfect” darling of the country as the First Daughter growing up in the White House. After the recent exposure of her Congressman husband’s infidelities, she finds herself moving back home, where, as her life spirals out of control, she struggles beneath the ever-present burden of her iconic parents.

Hernandez will play Samantha, a tattooed, free spirit who’s waiting tables in a small Santa Fe coffee shop when President Graves enters her life and finds her take on the world to be what’s lacking in his. Becoming his muse, Samantha is often along for the journey with Graves and Isaiah as he seeks to right his self-perceived wrongs.

In Graves, 25 years after his presidency, former Commander in Chief Richard Graves (Nolte) has the epiphany that his policies have damaged the country for decades and so, with his young assistant (Skylar Astin), he goes on a Don Quixote-like journey to right his administration’s wrongs just as his wife, the former First Lady, decides to follow her own political ambitions.

Yorke, repped by Gersh and Regarding Entertainment, has recurred on Showtime’s Masters Of Sex as Jane Martin, the seemingly unassuming hospital secretary who became Virginia Johnson’s (Lizzy Caplan) first major recruit for her sex study with Dr. William Masters (Michael Sheen). She can next be seen in the upcoming feature The Night Before. She also is set to reprise her role from the Vimeo comedy series High Maintenance in the upcoming new episodes for HBO.

Hernandez’s recent credits include the Robert Rodriguez pics Sin City: A Dame To Kill For and Machete Kills. She’s repped by CAA and Management 360.
