October 3, 2016: Cameron Cuffe Lands Lead Role on "Krypton" TV Series
Posted by Neil Cole
Variety reports that relatively unknown British actor Cameron Cuffe has been cast in the starring role of Seg-El on the SyFy Channel's upcoming "Krypton" television series:
Destined to be the ancestor of Jor-El, the future father of Superman, and Kal-El, the future Superman,, Seg-El is the scion of the once prosperous El family and is blessed with an intuitive brilliance for all things technical. He is now living in Krypton’s lowest caste after his family was stripped of its rank.
Cuffe recently appeared in "Florence Foster Jenkins" which starred Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant and will star on the ITV upcoming drama "The Halcyon" in a recurring role. Following graduation from The Lir Academy in Ireland, Cuffe appeared theatrical productions of "The Vertical Hour" and "City of Angels."
"Krypton" will be executive produced by David S. Goyer ("The Dark Knight", "Da Vinci's Demons") alongside Damian Kindler ("Sleepy Hollow") and Colm McCarthy ("Peaky Blinders") who will direct and co-executive produce the series pilot. The pilot script will feature an original story written by Goyer and Ian Goldberg ("Once Upon a Time").
Production on the pilot episode will take place in Montreal while the series is expected to premiere on the SyFy Channel later this year.
