Pics and Casting news!

Sci Fi Channel has released three images from the "Pilot" episode of Caprica, its upcoming prequel to Battlestar Galactica.

Here's how Sci Fi describes the series:

"Set 50 years before Battlestar Galactica, Caprica follows two rival families -- the Graystones and the Adamas. Bound together by tragedy, their ensuing struggle will determine the fate of the 12 Colonies.

"Caprica is a society rife with advanced technology. Little do they know they are trembling on the brink of the creation of the first cybernetic life-form node, or CYLON.

"Passion, intrigue and betrayal set the stage for the coming revolution.

"The Graystones and Adamas come from different cultures and wildly different socio-economic backgrounds. Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) is a computer genius and the leading businessman of the 12 Colonies. His wife, Amanda Graystone (Paula Malcolmson) is an elite neurosurgeon. Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) is an immigrant, a lawyer with ties to the mob, and a father who is desperate to reconnect with his estranged son, William (Sina Najafi).

"Their bitter rivalry will bring the end of life as they know it.

"Their children are the future."

Additionally, the network has released images of the Caprica cast from the NBC Universal Press Tour in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Sunday.

Sina Najafi??? So when Adm Adama was younger he was Egyptian but became Latino as he grew older??? The only things I've seen him in are Stargate where he played an Egyptian boy and Smallville. He was also in an ep of Dead Zone where he played Mikey at age 11. So he's in his mid - late teens at least.

U can see the pics here. I don't see any of Sina Najafi tho.
