I am – Hercules!!
The same day we learn of showrunner David Fury’s exit from “Terra Nova” comes word from Deadline Hollywood that actor Stephen Lang (“Avatar,” “Conan”) is in talks to join the series as Frank Taylor, “the charismatic and ruthless leader” of a group of time-traveling humans who escape from a dying future Earth to the planet’s dinosaur era.
As the Dealine piece points out, Lang's character in "Avatar" and Lang's intended character in "Terra Nova" were probably born within five years of each other.
Jason O’Mara (“Life On Mars”) has long been cast as a newcomer to the Terra Nova colony, a former cop Taylor hopes to recruit for his prehistoric security team. Allison Miller (“Kings”) was recently cast as a veteran of the Terra Nova colony.
Fox airs the first “Terra Nova” episode in May; the series launches the following autumn.
