TNT has cast four series regulars in their crime drama, Legends, for a Season 2. Based on the best-selling book by novelist Robert Littell, Winter Ave Zoli, Kelly Overton, Aisling Franciosi, and Steve Kazee join Game of Thrones actor Sean Bean returns for another round undercover missions.
As we previously mentioned, Legends follows Martin Odum (Bean), an undercover agent working within the FBI's Deep Cover Operations division. In the DCO division, Martin has the uncanny ability to transform himself into a completely different person. But when the agent starts to question his own identity, Martin isn't quite sure about who he's supposed to be.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Ken Biller has added four new members.
The Sons of Anarchy actress will play Czech Detective Gabriella Laska. Her fierce drive hides behind a free-spirited Bohemian laissez-faire.
The True Blood actress is Nina Brenner, an ambitious and tough CIA officer who refuses to cave to pressure from her rival liaison in British intelligence.
The Fall actress portrays Kate Crawford, who speaks and looks like a typical British teen, even though her parents were both Chechen. Crawford has a troubled relationship with her mother and stepfather because she is still searching for her own identity.
The Shameless actor joins as Curtis Ballard, a by-the-book FBI agent who is haunted by a violent event is his youth. Ballard failed to catch a criminal he was pursuing back in 2001.
Check out the first look of Legends here:
During our MStars News interview, we acknowledged that not only does the Lord of the Rings actor have to physically alter himself for each character; he also has to find the voice for each persona.
Bean revealed, "Yes, I guess where I start is getting inside the man's head and trying to work from the inside out. Then I put on the costume and various other effects. But it is very much about finding a voice, finding out what makes the guy tick, getting into his psyche, and making it your own. I didn't want to make any big obvious changes, like wearing a wig or mustache, and stuff like that. I wanted to make them more subtle and more kind of physiological rather than physical, even though they did have their own particular physical attributes."
Legends is expected to return on TNT August 25, 2015.
