While Caprica goes on hiatus unofficially until the Fall season, the actors of Caprica are beginning to toil in side projects:

Richard Harmon has been cast as Danny Reyes in the upcoming indie movie, Judas Kiss. Danny is a gay college student who comes to a crossroads in his life where he finally has a chance to escape his past. Richard played Heracles in the V-World who was known as Tad in the real world on Caprica.

Leah Gibson will be playing a romantic lead in another upcoming indie film titled Indie Jonesing. Leah played Emmanuelle, the V-World representation of Joseph Adama’s friend Evelyn on Caprica.

Paula Malcomson will join the third season of Sons of Anarchy for an 8 episode arc. Her character’s name will be Maureen. Paula played Amanda Graystone, Eric Graystone’s troubled wife on Caprica.

We’re only 4 episodes in and the internet is already teeming with buzz on Syfy’s hit Caprica! For those who didn’t see last night’s episode, Syfy has made Gravedancing available to watch. Also available is the enhanced version with podcast (episode commentary) alongside.

If you have friends that need to catch up or maybe you’re a little confused yourself, Syfy has released a recap video:

We also have a new promotional video,
The End of Everything:

And a preview of the next episode,
There is Another Sky:

If anyone was concerned that the show was in danger of being cancelled, worry no more! Airlock Alpha has an interview with Mark Stern, Syfy’s EVP of original programming, saying that they will be backing Caprica through and through.

In fact, Caprica’s fame has reached an Earth friend of ours, The New York Times. The article goes into depth about the old car models used on Caprica and how they add ambience to the show. Richard Hudolin, the production designer, mentions that a mixing of old and new technologies was also used on Battlestar Galactica.

These cars have been prominent in the life of Amanda Graystone, first whisking her away to saftey after her announcement at the memorial ceremony and later bringing her in harms way during a ride home from Baxter Sarno’s talk show. The actress who plays Amanda, Paula Malcomson, was recently interviewed by tvstar.com. During the interview she talks about how playing a character on Caprica relates to real life.

If you want to bring Caprica in to your real life you may be in luck! Cast and crew members from Caprica including Ronald D. Moore, David Eick, Paula Malcomson, Polly Walker, Alessandra Torresani, Magda Apanowicz and Sasha Roiz will be appearing at the Paley Center in NYC for a special Caprica Panel on March 17 at 6:30pm. Tickets go on sale to the general public Wednesday.

Be sure to tune in next week for the revival of Tamara Adama played by Genevieve Buechner!
