Bob Morley, who’s in his sixth season as Bellamy Blake on The CW’s “The 100,” is set to make his directorial debut with Tuesday’s new episode of the post-apocalyptic series.

While chatting with International Business Times at New York Comic Con last year, the actor and first-time director opened up about the opportunity.

“I wouldn’t want to do it anywhere else, first time directing,” he told IBT. “I’ve been on this show for six years, known this crew for six years, and the cast are like some of my best friends, and I can’t imagine a better place for me to kind of try and achieve those goals.”

He continued: “Everyone’s very supportive. It’s very heartwarming to know that [show creator] Jason [Rothenberg] and the writing team and everyone else has that belief in me to do it. It’s definitely not easy, and it’s definitely terrifying, but we’re such a family up there, and we kind of have to be with the amount of stuff we’ve all gone through.”

When all was said and done, Morley said he “couldn’t imagine a better place” to be making his directorial debut.

“The 100” fans will get to see the product of his work when the episode, written by Charmaine DeGraté and titled “Ashes to Ashes,” airs tonight.

In Season 6, episode 11, “Bellamy and Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) must work together to save their friends,” the synopsis reveals. Plus, Echo (Tasya Teles) must face her past.

See Morley’s directorial vision come to life when “The 100” airs on The CW on Tuesday at 9 p.m. EDT.
