Luke Pasqualino has been cast as the key character of the young William Adama in Syfy’s upcoming Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome series, according to EW. The character is a young fighter pilot whose age is between the child Adama in the recently canceled Caprica (see “Final ‘Caprica’ Episodes to Air in Block”) and the older Adama played by Edward James Olmos in Battlestar Galactica.   

Pasqualino played in the British version of the controversial MTV series Skins. 

Also cast in Blood & Chrome (see “New Galactica Pilot Greenlit”) is Ben Cotton, who plays Adama’s commanding officer.
