Over the past 10 years on TV genrespace fiction has receded into the background, giving way to mystical sagas and zombie projects. Fortunately, times change, and science fiction again begins to gain spectator interest. And the TV channels themselves are working hard in this direction, creating new good projects. A striking example of this is the series "Dark Matter", with the actors of which we will now get acquainted.
The plot of the new product from the channelSy-Fy is a four-part comic book, created in 2012 and was conceived as a TV series. Six men, two women and four men, come out of stasis on a spaceship, which is in a half-ruined state, and life support systems on it are rapidly abandoned. They do not remember who they are or how they ended up here, but this problem turns into a secondary issue. The most important thing for them is to survive. They also have to face a hostile robot-android.
Surprisingly, gradually each of themnotices that he can easily cope with some specific cases: to understand the settings of the onboard computer, to fight hand to hand, skillfully shoot and so on. It is much more difficult for them to learn how to work in a team, to trust each other, given that they do not even remember themselves, let alone other members of the crew. In the future, they will face the terrible details of their past, understand themselves and determine their future. The plot is full of mysteries, intrigues, unexpected turns, as well as chases, shootings, space battles.
The biggest problem of the series is verylimited budget. At the same time, it is surprising that the project was removed very qualitatively and competently, given its meager funding. She also admires the camera and director work, great costumes and delightful soundtracks. But many will agree that, first of all, the key to the success of "Dark Matter" is the actors who played key characters.
Очнувшиеся на «Разе» (именно так называется space ship), they do not remember their names, so they call each other in the order of awakening. "The first" was played by Mark Bendavid, "Second" - Melissa O "Neil, the role of" The Third "went to Anthony Lemke," Fourth "was Alex Mallari Jr.," The Fifth "- Jodel Ferland, and" Sixth "- Roger R. Cross. The image of Android perfectly blended with the inimitable Zoe Palmer.
It is noteworthy that for Mark this is the first majorrole in the filmography, before it was only episodic. And it is doubly insulting that his character passed into the second rank in the second season, and after it was removed from the project altogether.
Melissa O "Neil also to the role of Porsche Lin (" Second ")managed to light up only in a few inconspicuous roles, but at the same time she became the winner of the show "Canadian Idol" in 2005. But the actor of the series "Dark Matter" Anthony Lemke has an even more impressive track record both on television and on the big screen, among which the pictures "American Psycho" and "Storm of the White House" are seen.
Рио Ишида («Четрвертый») для Алекса Маллари также is the first major role, and although he has a lot of work on TV, but all of them are also insignificant. Even more acting work for the young Jodel Ferland. She played the whole girl in cult "Stargate", "Silent Hill" and even in the second film "Twilight. Saga. Eclipse". Like other actors of "Dark Matter", Roger R. Cross actively tried himself on television in subtle roles, but there were really a huge number of them. Among his works there are serials "Bones", "Marine Police", "Strela", "Hundred", films "The Chronicles of Riddick", "The X-Men 2" and others.
But Zoe Palmer was the only caste whoalready taught his star role before. Before "Matter" she shone in the Canadian TV series "The Call of Blood." An interesting fact: almost all the actors from the main caste were seen in episodic roles in the American TV series "Nikita" in 2010.
Crew "Times" plays a central role in the plotseries, but there are still a lot of secondary actors in "Dark Matter", worthy of spectator attention. Two stars of the legendary series "Stargate: Atlantis" David Hewlett and Torrey Higginson met again on the set of the fantastic series. David plays Talbor Kalchek, an agent of "Raza", who throws them various transactions of questionable nature, and Torrey plays the commander of the corporation "Mikkey" Delaney Truffaut.
In the second season, the team "Razy" alsojoined by Melanie Lieberd in the role of Knicks Harper and Sean Saypes in the role of Devon Talterd. Do not forget about the beauties who have received supporting roles - this is Nathalie Brown (Sara, the beloved of Marcus Buna) and Ellen Wong (Misaki Khan-Shireikan, guardsman Rio Ishida). As guest stars in the series you can also see Ruby Rose, Wil Wheaton and others.
Unfortunately, the audience had to say goodbye to many of the favorite actors of "Dark Matter" in season 3. After the second of the series went Bendavid, Hewlet, Sips, but the main core remained unchanged.
