Here's the man who gave William Adama his steely glare and raspy voice. The BSG prequel, Caprica, welcomes its newest cast member Esai Morales as Joseph Adama. (You may know him as the awesome Major Edward Beck from Jericho.) As we reported before, Joseph is a very troubled man with a dark past. More spoilery details about this character, after the jump.
While the Hollywood Reporter described Joseph as a, "deeply passionate man with a strong sense of justice, someone you wouldn't want as your enemy," we know him as the widowed father who lost both his wife and daughter in a suicide bombing. This DA with mob ties also agrees to help create a robot version of his lost daughter with the help of fellow bereaved father Daniel Graystone. I'm sure it will all only end in tears — cold cylon tears. [Hollywood Reporter]

No, Adam's a Cylon. "His father was a knife, his mother was a test tube." Name the author.
Dear io9,
PROFESSIONAL COPY EDITOR'S OPINION:
LAY OFF THE "MEET..." HEADLINES
Nothing personal, Mer. You're all guilty.
Yours,
Moff
Meet an actor I could care less about.
That's my headline, Moff.
"A very troubled man with a dark past" should work for Esai Morales considering his past has been a tad rape-y recently ([www.nydailynews.com]).
@Plague:
"Meet an actor I couldn't care less about."
That's my copy edit, Plague. ;-)
The hell with that, I know him as Bob La Bamba. At least we know he can already pull off the tank-top look.
@moff: Pwnt
@moff:
Moff, I just notied the star next your name! Are you allowd to tell us what you edit? I hope it's something really cool, like cook books? "Meat the next Meat on the Grill!" Oh yeah!
@Jeff-Minor: It's mostly pornography. You wouldn't believe how particular people are about it. I bet you didn't know that "blow job" is two words!
So this is the lying son of a bitch described by Baltar's lawyer...
@moff:
I cared so little I couldn't be bothered to add those two letters.
I love another reason to be bored to tears before this show even airs.
@moff: Oh, okay. Is there a market for SF porn, because I'm getting nowhere writing regular sf? I thought blowjob was one word.
@Jeff-Minor: Is there a market? Are you kidding? Sometimes I wish there wasn't a market, because then I'd have time to sit and comment all day!
Um.
@Dr. Futurity: Mr. Morales has had several disturbing allegations directed at him over the past few years. Not all of them had hit the press.
Innocent until proven guilty, of course - but it's surprising how often he gets work. You'd figure the producers would be concerned about the negative publicity, or that their leading man may get bounced in jail.
@Lydia9: SERIOUS. I watched all of NYPD Blue, all of Jericho, and all of BSG, but Esai will always be Bob, falling to his knees in the backyard and screaming "RICHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" at the heavens when he hears about the plane crash.
@Jeff-Minor: Heinlein. "Friday".
lalalalalalabamba.
@Evil Tortie's Mom: Oh my gosh, you win! Today's prize is an all-expense paid vacation to Io! Enjoy the Hilton on Hell. I love Friday!
@Jeff-Minor: woooooooo!
I win a fabulous Internet prize!!!
Won't be needing a sweater on Io.
I thought he was wonderful in Jericho, and he's an under the radar type of guy who always manages to surprise me. Well played, Sci-Fi!
