THREE MORE ADDED TO AMONGST THE DEADWith writing now officially underway on the Rated R Production’s zombie survival show Amongst The Dead casting news is continuing to flow in. In addition to Daniel Griffin and the Jacobs family we can confirm three new additions who will make their debut during the shows premier. Michael Boatman (Scrubs, Gossip Girl) will play Morgan James while Donald Glover (Community) will play his son, Dominic James. In addition to this Michael Trucco (Battlestar Galactica, Fairly Legal) will take on the role of Robert Tesla. Read on for profiles. | Robert Tesla Played By: Michael Trucco
A former US marine and definitive badass, Robert Tesla is the undeniable leader of a ragtag group of survivors. Having only recently returned from Iraq Robert has gone from one war straight into another. Only this time, there’s no way to win. Having survived the initial outbreak Robert has become the un-official leader of a convoy of survivors, who travel across lesser populated highways to avoid Zombies. Robert’s assertive nature will put him into conflict with a number of individuals who think they may be better leaders. |
[/td][/tr][/table] | Morgan James Played By: Michael Boatman
A former lawyer and loving single father Morgan James is the most level headed and reasonable member of Robert Tesla’s convoy of survivors. While his primary focus is protecting his son Dominic he has a large heart and his empathy makes him hard to hate. Having lost his wife during childbirth he has put a lot of work in building a good relationship with his son and the two have been brought closer than ever by the infection, but there is always the chance that could be ripped away in an instant. |
| Dominic James Played By: Donald Glover
The son of Morgan James, Dominic does not share his father’s calm and compassionate nature. Dominic is quick witted, fast talking and a lot smarter than he lets on, especially when it comes to strategy. A former American football player Dominic also has the strength and speed that makes him a very valuable asset to Robert Tesla’s convoy. His relationship with his father has always been solid but since the infection the two are focused on surviving together, and anyone who could potentially cause harm to them will quickly realise that Dominic is a lot more dangerous than he first appears. |

BIG NAME ADDED TO AMONGST THE DEADWith news having slowed up slightly on Rated R Production’s Amongst The Dead many were wondering when new information would be revealed. Well, now that the show’s second episode has gone into pre-production we can confirm three new casting editions to the show and one of them is big. Tom Hardy, who has starred in big films such as Bronson and Inception and will be appearing as Bane in the upcoming Christopher Nolan directed The Dark Knight Rises, will guest in episode two as bad boy Jake Dean. Alongside Hardy Amongst The Dead has also cast Felicity Jones (Cemetery Junction) as his sister Tammy Dean in what is expected to be a more permanent stay. Meanwhile newcomer Cody Rejero has also bagged a part in the show portraying ex-family man James Richards. Further casting announcements are expected in the coming days. | Jake Dean Played By: Tom Hardy
The original bad boy, Jake Dean is perfectly made out for the zombie infested remains of civilization. His parents having died at an early age Jake has developed into a confrontational and violent man. He spent a year in the army before receiving a dishonourable discharge. Having spent his life embroiled in drugs, drinks, fights and girls, Jake is bad news regardless of whether you are friend or foe. When the infection hit he utilised his army training to get himself and his sister to safety and joined up with Robert Tesla’s convoy, working as the group’s primary lookout. Despite this, he has a short temper and is only out for himself, a fact that will create immediate conflict. |
[/td][/tr][/table] | Tammy Dean Played By: Felicity Jones
AThe younger sister of Jake Dean Tammy is the antithesis of her brother. Kind, compassionate and caring Tammy is not made out for the zombie apocalypse. Despite being partially reliant on her brother during the early stages the two do not get along, having spent most of their lives with little contact unless Jake needed Tammy to bail him out of a problem. Unlike her brother when her parents died when she was young Tammy has grown up as the responsible one and was training to become a doctor when the infection hit, her medical knowledge being a big advantage in a world full of danger. |
| James Richards Played By: Cody Rejero
The zombie apocalypse can change a person, changing you from an outgoing sociable man to a closed off, would be hermit. That applies to nobody greater than it does James Richards. Happily married and on his way to becoming a police officer all of that was lost when the infection hit, James losing all of his family and friends. As a result James has closed himself off, distancing himself from others. His police training and natural survival skills honed by years of camping make him a valuable asset to the convoy but he wants nothing more than to be left alone. |

AMONGST THE DEAD ADDS FOUR MORE
It’s another big day for followers of Rated R Production’s zombie based show Amongst The Dead as the show added four new cast members to it’s ranks. With the show’s second episode currently in pre-production it appears that the majority of the cast will be introduced in that second episode. First off young newcomers Jeffrey Stevenson and Alison Handbeck have been cast as Jason ‘Cub’ Wilson and Evie Michals respectively, a boyfriend and girlfriend pair with ties to the already announced Daniel Griffin. Also announced is the casting of veteran stage actor Bryan Davis as Lee Jones and young up and comer Jack Joseph as Chase Anderson. | Jason ‘Cub’ Wilson Played By: Jeffrey Stevenson
A former boy-scout who sticks to what works, Jason was in the same year at school as Daniel Jacobs and Kara Griffin and was close friends with the pair prior to the infection. Having escaped Wilmington when the infection hit alongside his girlfriend Evie the pair spent several weeks hiding out before meeting up with Robert Tesla’s convoy. Having lost his family several years ago, in a house fire set by his older brother, Jason has become anti-social and is now only close with girlfriend Evie who is the only person holding him together. |
| Evie Michaels Played By: Alison Handbeck
The much more level headed girlfriend of Jason ‘Cub’ Wilson Evie was in the same school as Daniel Jacobs and Kara Griffin and was close friends with the pair prior to the infection. Having escaped Wilmington when the infection hit alongside her boyfriend Jason the pair spent several weeks hiding out before meeting up with Robert Tesla’s convoy. Evie is extremely caring and has spent the past several years keeping Jason stable after the loss of his family several years ago. His dependence on her presence makes his role in the zombie apocalypse even more difficult. |
[/img][/td][td] Lee Jones Played By: Bryan Davis
A retire professor of language, Lee Jones is highly educated and greatly respected by his peers. When his wife and teenage son died in a tragic plane crash several years ago Lee appeared to cope well, but appearances can be deceiving. Secretly becoming an alcoholic Lee’s work began to suffer until he suffered a breakdown during a class. Forced to retire and get help for his problem Lee travelled to America on the holiday that his family never got to take. Avoiding the infection mostly because of luck Lee was found by Robert’s convoy, but the stress of a zombie apocalypse could lead him back to the bottle. [/td][/tr][/table] | Chase Anderson Played By: Jack Joseph
A semi-professional skateboarder nobody would ever call Chase the brightest bulb in the box. Despite this his caring nature makes him easily likeable. Having left his family to attend a skateboarding competition near Wilmington Chase was caught up in the infection, managing to escape and joining up with Robert’s convoy. The knowledge that his entire family are likely dead has made him reckless, a fact that makes him a possible liability to the rest of the group. |

AMONGST THE DEAD COMPLETE INITAL CONVOY?Rated R Productions today announced four more cast members to debut project Amongst The Dead and rumours say that these four will make up the last section of the show’s ‘convoy’ to be introduced in episode 2. However, more characters have already been revealed to be introduced in following episodes, so expect further casting news in the coming weeks as the show enters production. David Gareth Jones and Peter Wentz have been cast as best friends Alan Hughes and Sam Davies, while Cameron Popplestone takes on the role of tech expert Andrew Douglas. On top of that the more experienced Bianca Lawson (Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries) joins the show as the rebellious Kacy Teague. Profiles after the jump... | Sam Davies Played By: Peter Wentz
Born in the valleys of North Wales, Sam Davies was always considered destined for brilliance. Funny, intelligent and good-looking Sam left shool and was on his way to university, certain that his future would be bright. That was until he met Alan Hughes. Alan and Sam soon became close friends, much to the detriment of Sam’s studies. Their friendship would result in Sam being thrown out of uni and, despite still holding a grudge, heading to America alongside Alan. Just their luck, the pair found themselves caught up in the infection. Pairing up with Robert’s convoy Sam’s brains could be a vital asset, if Alan doesn’t lead him astray in the process. |
[/img][/td][td] Alan Hughes Played By: David Gareth Jones
Born in the valleys of North Wales, Alan Hughes was one of life’s great slackers, making it through every milestone with as little effort as possible. Having left school at 18 Alan met Sam Davies and the two became close friends, even staying close after Alan inadvertently got Sam thrown out of university. Having obtained a sizable sum of money in the will of his Grandmother Alan decided to reject the idea of saving the money, instead paying for a holiday to America for him and Sam when the infection hit. Joining up with Robert’s convoy Alan brings little to the table other than the abilities to eat, sleep and watch really bad daytime television. [/td][/tr][/table] | Andrew Douglas Played By: Cameron Popplestone
Andrew Douglas is what you would call a nerd. Incredibly smart, Andrew’s talents lie in computers while his hobbies include playing in Risk tournaments. While not a huge asset when it comes to picking up girls he has become very skilled at working out strategies, something that has benefitted Robert’s convoy on more than one occasion already. Having a natural affinity for computers, including a previous job working the security systems at a Las Vegas casino, Andrew is the convoy’s tech expert, although how useful that will be in a world with little working technology is questionable. Although the chances of it are slim, he still hopes that his sister is alive somewhere out there. |
| Kacy Teague Played By: Bianca Lawson
Rebellious, outgoing and in charge Kacy Teague is a boy’s dream and a parent’s nightmare. Having spent the past three years in college embroiled in alcohol filled raves and drama with guys Kacy is taking the infection the same way she has taken life – as an adventure. Her outgoing nature makes her very easy to get along with but getting any further involved eventually leads to trouble. On her way home from university when the infection hit Kacy managed to survive long enough to meet up with Robert’s convoy, her quick wit and adventurous nature makes her both an asset and a hindrance to the group. |

AMONGST THE DEAD BODY COUNT TO BE ‘HIGH’Rated R Production’s debut project, zombie thriller Amongst The Dead, will have a “high body count” according to writer Dale Clarke. Talking exclusively with spinoff online Clarke said that people should not get too attached to any single character in the case they didn’t survive. When pressed on on the top Clarke stated: “You’ve got to consider that in the case of a Zombie apocalypse, even if you’ve got survivors out there fighting them, then not everyone is going to make it through the day. There are Zombie’s out there and as good as you are at surviving they will get people, people are going to die. The characters in our show are no exception. I suggest people don’t get too attached to the idea of seeing characters every episode because some aren’t going to make it through. We’re in pre-production for episode three at the moment and I can tell you right now that at least two or three characters are gone already. It’s literally a situation of anybody can die, we’ve got a very high body count.” Amongst The Dead recently entered production with filming on the shows first episode beginning earlier this week.

Looks great, I just hope Chase is in there for a little while though I realize he isn't a huge character.

AMONGST THE DEAD CONTINUES TO EXPANDS CASTWith production on Amongst The Dead now in full swing the show has announced four new cast members that will all make their first appearances during the shows third episode. Of course with Dale Clarke’s recent statement that the show will have a “high body count” these characters may only be appearing in a few episodes or may be replacing others as it was revealed that at least “two or three” of the characters will meet their fate in the first two episodes. First off newcomer Lewis Bain has joined the show as Fillip William, the owner of a gun store that the convoy are rumoured to visit during the second episode. Along with that episode three will also introduce a new family to the show – the Parker’s, consisting of Sarah Carter (Smallville, Falling Skies) as mother Agnes, AnnaSophia Robb (Jumper, Race to Witch Mountain) as eldest daughter Sarah and Bella Thorne (Big Love, Shake It Up) as youngest daughter Carly. Profiles after the jump: | Fillip William Played By: Lewis Bain
Since the death of his family in a terrible accident Fillip has closed himself off from the rest of the world, drifting from one town to the next since the age of eighteen. He eventually returned to his home, a small town miles outside of Greensboro, where he took over his deceased fathers old hunting shop. When the infection hit he had the perfect spot for survival – a small town with a shop full of weaponry. Now the town’s only survivor Fillip is planning out his next move. His anti-social nature and knowledge of weaponry could make him a very useful ally, or a very dangerous enemy. |
| Agnes Parker Played By: Sarah Carter
Mother of two Agnes was a small town girl with big dreams, dashed far too early by falling pregnant in her teens. While she always dreamt of escaping the small town she never dreamt that her first true chance would be because of the infection. Having kept her two daughters safe by hiding on a convenience store roof she has found herself in a desperate situation as supplies begin to run out. And that’s only the beginning of their troubles... |
| Sophie Parker Played By: AnnaSophia Robb
Sophie Parker is the eldest daughter of Agnes Parker and older sister of Carly Parker. Inhabitants of a small town miles outside of Greensboro the entire family managed to survive the initial infection, hiding from the zombies on the roof of an old convenience store. Sweet, kind and adventurous Sophie is full of life and seems capable of bouncing back from anything, including the zombie apocalypse. However with the stores supplies running out the family are getting closer to the end, and right now, that’s the least of their troubles... |
| Carly Parker Played By: Bella Thorne
The younger daughter of Agnes Parker Carly is mature for her age and has the same attitude to their small town as Agnes, wanting nothing more than to leave the mundane life. When the infection hit Carly saw it as a chance to escape however they have become more trapped than ever, hiding out atop a convenience store roof. With supplies quickly running out the families safe haven is becoming less viable, and her rebellious nature may just be their undoing. |

Taken into a secure bunker when the infection hit Henry believed that he, along with other scientists, were safe but an ‘incident’ resulted in him being the only one left. Still believing that he can cure the infection Henry will need to trust complete strangers if he is to try and figure out what caused the Zombie apocalypse. |

Here's hoping that wasn't the last of the cast. I'm still taking applications, just the later you get it in the later in the show you'll appear due to space/ stories and the such.
