Alphas, Syfy's new show about seemingly ordinary people with super brains, won't debut for a few more weeks, but that doesn't mean those involved won't talk about their show. Executive producer Ira Steven Behr, as well as stars Ryan Cartwright and Azita Ghanizada, recently spoke to reporters about their work on Alphas...
... On their involvement with Alphas:
Ryan Cartwright: "I think I was the first actor on board. I was having another fun, horrible pilot season in LA... And then this really good script came up."
Ira Steven Behr: "I had taken a year off actually to finish off a novel... And I just turned down TV work for a year... As soon as I was done, I called my agent and said let's see what's out there. And one of the first jobs I went on was Alphas... I just thought the possibilities for a really good show were there."
Azita Ghanizada: "I was the last person cast. I think they had a hard time finding Rachel... I just kind of went in and did it, and they hired me, those silly bastards.... I'm lucky that they were foolish enough to cast me..."
Alphas premieres on Syfy Monday, July 11, 2011 at 10/9C.
