The Hollywood Reporter says Eric Stoltz has signed on to play opposite Jericho’s Esai Morales in the two-hour pilot Caprica. Stolz will take on the role of wealthy computer engineer Daniel Graystone, rumored to be the creator of the Cylons.
Stoltz has appeared on Medium and in Ashton Kutcher’s sci-fi jaunt The Butterfly Effect, but is of course best known for his role as Rocky Dennis in Mask. Stolz also has experience in the director’s chair having directed episodes of Once and Again, Boston Legal and ER.
The Battlestar Galactica prequel takes place 50 years before the events of that show, focusing on the Graystone and Adama families and their role shaping the future of Caprica.
