What attracted Ryan to Alphas?

I was actually excited by a lot of the good humor in it. I love comedy… A lot of the pilots I was going up for were comedies, but they didn’t compare because a lot of the comedy was a lot wetter and not as real. The comedy in Alphas… it’s a lot better and more real. I really like the comic element of the characters.

Dr. Lee Rosen, the world’s foremost expert on Alphas, has identified several of these extraordinary humans. Five ordinary people are brought together to form one extraordinary team of Alphas. Series premiere Monday July 11 at 10/9c.

Meet the cast:

David Strathairn as Dr. Lee Rosen, a preeminent neurologist and psychiatrist with a long history of hands-on work with patients suffering from neurological disorders.

Malik Yoba as Bill Harken, a former FBI agent who strictly adheres to procedure and protocol and is also a hyperadrenal Alpha.

Warren Christie as Cameron Hicks who’s lived a hard life, the scars of which are evident in his personality. A former army sniper and minor league baseball pitcher, Hicks has an unusual condition called “hyperkinesis.”

Laura Mennell as Nina Theroux, worldly and sophisticated, attractive and intelligent, complex and manipulative. Her alpha skill is called “influencing.”

Ryan Cartwright as Gary Bell, sensitive to many factors of his environment, he is also a “transducer” — a human antennae.
