The actor, who is currently appearing on Showtime’s Ray Donovan, is set to recur as Castor, uncle to Matt Lanter’s teenage alien Roman on the CW’s upcoming midseason drama about two teens (Lanter and Aimee Teegarden) who struggle to maintain a romance in a time in which Atrians (the aliens) and humans struggle to integrate.
Castor is said to have a dark and shady past as a radical militant Atrian, but he claims to have changed his ways to be more temperate and pro-integration. But Roman still has his doubts — even after Castor proves himself to be an effective politician within the Sector.

You may know Aimee Teegarden from a little show called Friday Night Lights, but she is now among aliens in a new show called Star-Crossed.
Teegarden discusses the premises of the pilot episode and how her character interacts in a potential love triangle between Roman (Matt Lanter) and Grayson (Grey Damon).
Even though Star-Crossed is fiction, if aliens were to land on Earth Aimee says her natural reaction would be fear. But, not letting fear get in the way, she would want to know them and would have a lot of questions.
Check out her quirkiness in this interview below from Comic Con:
Meet Grey Damon who plays Grayson in Star-Crossed. Damon explains that his character “has a dark past, somewhat involved with Atrians, family issues, and a very introverted guy.” He says that there is probably more to his character as he is initially not revealing things by playing the “other” guy.
Damon doesn’t think his character is prejudice, but he does have a problem with the Atrians and it shows in the pilot episode.
Watch the interview with Grey Damon below:
Damon later tells us off-topic tidbits about his obsession for The Walking Dead and his role in the upcoming film “Oldboy.”
Matt Lanter, known for his role as Liam on ’90210′ for the last 5 years, has now shifted to an alien named Roman on CW’s new show, Star-Crossed. Star-Crossed is an upcoming American science fiction romance television series created by Meredith Averill that is expected to air on The CW Television Network during the 2013–14 American television season. The series follows a romance between a human girl and an alien boy when he and eight others of his kind are integrated into a suburban high school.
Check out the Comic Con interview below:
Only knowing what we know from the pilot, Lanter was unable to dive anymore into the series. He did talk about an Atrian language that was created just for this show. We get a glimpse of that in the first episode.
He said the show “has a lot of potential to be very deep.” “It’s got a chance to feel epic” with the two worlds colliding. He hopes the show can have in depth storylines.
Lanter explains that Star-Crossed has an “epic feel” and hopefully it comes off that way to the viewers come early 2014.
