Condola Rashad Has Always Been the Secret Assassin of 'Billions'
Condola Rashad’s Kate Sacker is an ace. From Season 1 of Billions, back when she was the Assistant United States Attorney to Paul Giamatti’s Chuck Rhodes, Kate’s acuity was obvious. She could trade barbs and deep-cut pop-culture references with the best of them. She soaked up Chuck’s battles with the billies, namely with Damien Lewis’ Bobby Axelrod, until they ran him out of town at the end of Season 5. And then, as Chuck’s mission against the moral sliminess of benevolent wealth, represented by Corey Stoll’s Mike Prince, turned into a gnashing crusade in Season 6, she did what was previously unthinkable in the Billions-verse: going over to the private sector to head Prince’s legal counsel as he made a bid for New York to host the Olympics in 2028. Chuck did not mince words over his distaste for her decision, pitting the two against each other in tense, venomous face-offs over who’s in the moral right.
