'Drastic times call for drastic measures': Troy Doherty teases 'The Last Ship' S05 and his superhero ambition

Troy Doherty dishes it all to Meaww: From gearing up the intensity in 'The Last Ship' S05 to sneak peek into the drastic times and personal ambitions for a superhero role.
PUBLISHED SEP 11, 2018

Postapocalyptic naval drama 'The Last Ship' has set sail for its fifth and final season amidst newer threats - one that could translate into the next world war in the altered universe created by TNT. Since the very first season, in fact, the show has pushed the envelope when it comes to the high-octane drama and the endurance power of each and every character, a challenge that Clayton Swain aka actor Troy Doherty has willingly taken upon himself. 

His earnestness to actively involve himself with the pandemic at hand not only gets him noticed but also puts him at the center of all action. Moving into the final season, though, this Tom Chandler protégé will have bigger battles to fight - if not with "fists or words," at least with his mind. He knows he is smart and that he shouldn't be underestimated, especially in the face of the brand new situation involving the latest virus attack.
