Following the recent casting of British actor Cameron Cuffe in the starring role of Seg-El on the upcoming "Krypton" TV series, Syfy has announced the additional supporting cast members and the roles they will portray.
Actors and official character descriptions are as follows:
Ian McElhinney (Val-El): Grandfather to Seg-El, Val-El is a rogue genius who believes that space exploration is a basic form of self-defense, and he has tried, without success, to warn the Kryptonian elite about the arrival of an ancient threat. Elliot Cowan (Daron Vex): The Chief Magistrate of Kandor, Daron Vex’s real business is defending Krypton’s established oligarchy against heretics and dissidents. Ann Ogbomo (Primus Alura Zod): Lyta Zod’s mother and a leader of Krypton’s military guild, Alura is an extremely tough and demanding training officer. Rasmus Hardiker (Kem): The rank-less Kem is a brilliant engineer as well as Seg-El’s best friend and partner in an underground tech-repair business. Wallis Day (Nyssa Vex): A junior magistrate and the daughter of Daron Vex. Aaron Pierre (Dev-Em): A cadet under the command of Primus Alura Zod.
"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.
