Sources say Amazon is starting to choose actors for its upcoming TV show based on the video game *Mass Effect*, according to entertainment reporter Daniel Richtman.
I’m hearing that this new series is casting for five main roles, and they’re looking for someone who has a similar vibe to a young Colin Farrell – that’s exciting! They’re also creating a really interesting female character who’s an alien, and it sounds like they’ll be using prosthetics to bring her to life. It’s going to be a visually stunning show, I can already tell!
Considering the details available, many fans think these characters could be Commander Shepard and Liara T’Soni.
Five Lead Roles Reportedly in the Works
According to Richtman, the five characters currently being cast include:
- Male Lead (30–39): Described as a “young Colin Farrell,” with open ethnicity. This could be Commander Shepard.
- Female Co-Lead (34–39): An alien character requiring prosthetics. Likely someone like Liara.
- Female Human (30–49): Will offer a parallel storyline from Earth, possibly similar to Admiral Anderson’s arc in Mass Effect 3.
- Male Villain (40–60): A Doug Jones-type actor for a lead antagonist.
- Male Soldier (30–49): Described as a wrestler-type — a role that aligns with James Vega from the games.
The character descriptions hint that the show will blend classic character types with fresh takes, remaining true to the game’s core ideas while also developing a richer story for television.
