Esai Morales Cast As Lead In Galactica Spinoff Caprica

Esai Morales has joined Sci Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica prequel pilot Caprica cast in the role of Joseph Adama, a Caprican lawyer and the father of Commander William Adama. The Hollywood Reporter describes Joseph as a deeply passionate man with a strong sense of justice – and someone you wouldn’t want as your enemy. This casting comes after the recent announcement that Deadwood’s Paula Malcolmson had landed the role of Amanda Greystone, a surgeon who goes to extraordinary lengths to help her husband revive her dead 16-year-old daughter via robotics. Amanda is the mother of Zoe Graystone, whose likeness and personality are utilized to create the first Cylon.
