From Tv Addict
Think you have what it takes to play Lee Adama’s Grandfather? Or more importantly the inner strength and fortitude to travel to nerd SCI FI Conventions for the rest of your career? Find out for yourself by checking out this just released casting breakdown for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA’s highly anticipated prequel series/TV-movie CAPRICA.
Please note: By reading the following casting breakdown, you’re agreeing to fork over 10% of your earnings to theTVaddict.com as his much deserved ‘management’ fee. Remember, I made you and without this post you’d still be working at the Coffee Bean, or worse, California Pizza Kitchen!
[DANIEL GRAYSTONE] In his early 40s, a spectacularly wealthy computer engineer / designer, Daniel is married to Amanda and the father of Zoe — but his extensive business interests leave him little time for his child, whom he still sees as a little girl in pink shoes. Busy trying to design an intelligent robot, Daniel is devastated when Zoe is killed in a suicide bombing, and has no idea that his daughter had a complex, very secret life. After learning that his own wizardry with computer technology was exceeded by his own child, who found a way to upload her personality into an online avatar, Daniel realizes that with a little stolen technology, and with a little intellectual elbow grease, he can create a robotic version of his dead daughter — and in doing so, he creates the first Cylon…SERIES REGULAR - SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.?
[JOSEPH ADAMS] In his 40s, he is a Tauron, an off-worlder who has emigrated to Caprica; his hair is already starting to go iron-grey and his entire demeanor is that of someone who’s already put on more miles than most men his age. There’s a gravitas to Joseph, an intelligence, and a strong sense of someone you wouldn’t want as your enemy. He has risen above the traditional Caprican prejudice against Taurons, and has become a powerful, influential defense attorney, with powerful ties to the Tauron crime underworld. His wife and daughter are killed in the same blast that takes out Zoe, and he bonds with the much-wealthier Daniel in a common grief. A man who has done a few crooked things in his life (largely in order to use his position to protect his fellow Taurons), Joseph reluctantly agrees to assist Daniel in his grief-fueled efforts to create robotic versions of both their children — but after stealing vital technology from a Tauron computer developer, Joseph is ethically appalled by the robot version of his dead Tamara, and repents his actions. Left with a 9 year old son to care for, Joseph reaches out to young William, revealing to him that his last name is really Adama…SERIES REGULAR - SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. HOWEVER, PREFER LATINO.?
[AMANDA GRAYSTONE] In her late 30s, Daniel’s wife, she is a successful surgeon with a volatile streak to her, who has married well and dearly loves her daughter. Devastated after the death of her daughter Zoe, Amanda turns for consolation, not to her husband but to an ex-lover, Tomas Vergis, a Tauron who is one of her husband’s competitors. Furious with herself for having cheated on her husband, Amanda in fact is something of a double agent, plucking information about Vergis’ intellectual property from his blabbing mouth and taking it home to Daniel to use as he sees fit…SERIES REGULAR - SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.?
[SISTER CLARICE WILLOW] In her mid 30s to 50s, dressed in the traditional clerical robes of an Athenian High Priestess, Sister Clarice is the headmistress of the Athena Academy, a private religious school, where Zoe, Lacy and Ben are all enrolled. A gracious, eloquent, thoughtful woman who grew up in a slum and has seen it all, she’s elegant and sophisticated — and utterly duplicitous. In fact, she is a closet monotheist, and has taken the best and brightest of her students and shared her own (illegal, closeted) beliefs with them — only to see her efforts literally explode in her students’ faces…SERIES REGULAR - SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.?
[ZOE GRAYSTONE / ZOE-A / ZOE-R] 16 going on 40 (18 TO PLAY 16), with severe hair and makeup, Zoe is the daughter of Daniel and Amanda Graystone, and she’s a girl with many secrets. A computer genius like her father, she has found a way to enliven a holographic avatar of herself, by uploading all her memories and DNA into the hologram, thus creating her online twin, Zoe-A. A closet monotheist in the polytheistic culture of Caprica, and obliged to perform her religion in private, she tries to leave the planet with her boyfriend, Ben, only to be killed when Ben suicide-bombs them both into oblivion. But Zoe-A is left behind, a baffled, grieving digital duplicate of the real, flesh and blood Zoe. With the collaboration of Daniel and Joseph, Zoe-A is downloaded into a robotic brain, thus becoming the first Cylon: Zoe-R…SERIES REGULAR - SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.?
[WILLIAM ADAMS] 9 years old, Latino, Joseph’s sole surviving child, William is inward and withdrawn in the best of times, and grows more taciturn after the death of his mother and sister. Barely aware of his father, whose work kept him away from the family, William is a stoical Tauron who keeps his deepest thoughts to himself and rarely smiles. Promised a closer relationship by Joseph, he is taken aside, taught the basics of his Tauron heritage, and told that his Tauron name is William Adama…7 / 13 SERIES REGULAR -TO PLAY EDWARD JAMES OLMOS AT 9 YEARS OLD.?
[BEN STARK / BEN-A] 16 years old (18 TO PLAY 16), with close-cropped hair, Ben has an intensity to him, a sense of a kid who’s gone someplace far away and may not be coming back. Zoe’s boyfriend, he is a fanatical monotheist; he introduced her and Lacy to his cult, and induced them both to flee Caprica with him. But Ben is a little crazy, and he’s fleeing Caprica in a different way than he promised: by blowing up their train with a suicide bomb. He later is revealed to have his own uploaded avatar, an on-line twin named Ben-A, whom only Sister Clarice can contact…7 / 13 SERIES REGULAR - SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.?
