Moore Series 'Virtuality' Begins Casting
Ronald D. Moore now has two possible series casting.
Reuters is reporting that James D'Arcy will take on the starring role in Moore's new Fox pilot "Virtuality."
This is actually the second project D'Arcy is working on that involves the "Battlestar Galactica" creative team. The British actor is slated to play Cain Johnson in the telemovie "Them" written by John McNamara and BSG executive producer David Eick that also stars Tricia Helfer, who plays Number Six in the popular SciFi Channel series.
The potential series is set on a starship called the Phaeton, which is on a 10-year journey to a distant solar system. Because the trip is so long, the crew can use virtual reality nodes that allow them to take on various identities and virtually go wherever they wish.
D'Arcy will play the officer who produces the virtual reality presentations.
D'Arcy is probably best known for his role as Tom Pullings in the 2003 film "Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World."
