'Caprica's' first Cylon and chief enforcer talk about the Syfy show's future

Maureen Ryan recently interviewed Alessandra Torresani and Sasha Roiz.  Here are some excerpts and the link to the complete article:

"Caprica" has had some trouble unifying the many stories it's trying to tell, but Friday's episode is more successful because it focuses on two major threads -- the virtual "V-world" of "New Cap City," and the attempts by Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) to connect with his son William (Sina Najafi), despite the fact that both are grieving the deaths of family members in very different ways.

In the March 5 episode, James Marsters ("Buffy") begins a recurring role as a terrorist leader, but John Pyper-Ferguson is also memorable in a meaty guest role as Tomas Vergis, a business titan and frenemy of technology mogul Daniel Greystone (Eric Stoltz). "Caprica" still may be a bit slower paced than I'd like, but it is also setting up some intriguing story lines and the cast and guest actors are top notch (it's especially pleasurable to see Stoltz work with Pyper-Ferguson and Paula Malcolmson, who plays Daniel's wife, Amanda).

Speaking of defying expectations: Alessandra Torresani, the exuberant actress who plays the “first Cylon” and a virtual avatar of Zoe Graystone on the Syfy drama, isn't much like her characters (though they all display flashes of her impish irreverence).
