Elyes Gabel as Walter O'Brien
|
Inspired by a true story, SCORPION is an
exhilarating adrenaline rush that follows an eccentric genius and his network
of nerdy prodigies. They operate as a think tank formed by Homeland Security
solving the most dire and mind-boggling national threats.
This high-octane drama is about Walter O'Brien
(Elyes Gabel) and his team of brilliant misfits who comprise the last line of
defense against complex, high-tech threats of the modern age. British actor
Elyes Gabel most recently played the Dothraki warrior Rakharo on the television
series "Game of Thrones." He previously starred on the BBC series
"Casualty." His additional television credits include "The
Borgias," "Dead Set," "Waterloo Road,"
"Identity" and "Psychoville."
Paige Dineen (Katharine McPhee), who has a young,
gifted son, translates the world that confounds this socially awkward group
that's only comfortable with each other's humor and quirks. After competing in
"American Idol" in 2006, McPhee has had a stellar career co-starring
in the feature "The House Bunny," guest starring in "Ugly
Betty," "CSI: NY" and "Community," and starring as the
lead in "Smash."
Team
As Homeland Security's new think tank, O'Brien's
"Scorpion" team includes Toby Curtis (Eddie Kaye Thomas), an expert
behaviorist who can read anyone; Happy Quinn (Jadyn Wong), a mechanical
prodigy; and Sylvester Dodd (Ari Stidham), a statistics guru.
Thomas is best known for his starring role in the
"American Pie" franchise. He voices the character of Barry on the
adult animated sitcom "American Dad!" He guest starred in "CSI:
Crime Scene Investigation," "The Twilight Zone," "The
X-Files" and "Law & Order." He appeared in the "Harold
& Kumar" film series.
Pooling their extensive technological knowledge to
solve mind-boggling predicaments amazes federal agent Cabe Gallo (Robert
Patrick), who shares a harrowing history with O'Brien. Patrick starred in the
television series "The X-Files," "True Blood" and "The
Unit" and in the
miniseries "Elvis." He guest starred in
"The Sopranos," "Lost," "Law & Order: Special
Victims Unit," "NCIS," "Psych," "Community"
and "Burn Notice."
At last, these nerdy masterminds have found the
perfect job: a place where they can apply their exceptional brainpower to solve
the nation's crises, while also helping each other learn how
to fit in.
