First they announced Paula Malcomson as the female lead on BSG prequel Caprica, and now Joseph Adama (father of Galactica admiral William Adama, and grandfather of Lee “Apollo” Adama) has a face.
According to SciFi Wire, Joseph Adama will be played by Esai Morales. His characer will be a:
“deeply passionate man with a strong sense of justice — and someone you wouldn’t want as your enemy”
This isn’t Morales’ first foray into the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Most recently, Morales played the role of Major Edward Beck on Jericho, although I’ll forever remember him as Richie Valens’ brother Bob in La Bamba. I think he’s a fine choice for this role, and is definitely of comparable talent to Edward James Olmos. Are you pleased with the casting choices for Caprica so far?
Comments
Esai Morales is one of those choices that no one seems to think of, but when it is made everyone goes “oh yeah; he’s PERFECT for the role.”
At least, that’s how I feel.
