Fans who waited with bated breath for the release of NBC's new spy-thriller, 'The Enemy Within', have not been disappointed at all, and are all praise for Coral Peña, who plays an ambitious CIA analyst in the series.

Along with her role in the new series, Peña, in an EXCLUSIVE with MEA WorldWide, told us a bit about her work on 'The Post', where she worked alongside screen legends Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. Peña's Anna Cruz is an ambitious CIA analyst enlisted by FBI Special Agent, Will Keaton (Morris Chestnut), to assist in the hunt for a former Russian SVR agent turned rogue operative who’s responsible for the deaths of her fellow CIA officers.
