Emelia Burns and Ashley Zukerman Join TERRA NOVA

Fox’s Terra Nova has cast Ashley Zukerman (The Pacific) and Emelia Burns (The Elephant Princess) as recurring characters according to The Hollywood Reporter. Zukerman plays Lucas, a major character that is “mysterious and enigmatic” and has a connection to Commander Nathaniel Taylor (Stephen Lang). You can expect to see him in four episodes of the show beginning halfway through the first season. I’m not sure what his connections to Taylor are but, more likely than not, they’re sinister in nature, although Lang came off as a good guy to me even if he is a bit rough around the edges. He could be someone from Taylor’s past who knows toe curling secrets about him.

As for Burns, she will be playing one of Taylor’s soldiers named Reilly. She doesn’t seem to be as important as Zukerman’s character.

Terra Nova is one this fall’s new shows that I’m most excited for. If you’re excited about it too then take some time and check out some other cool Terra Nova related stuff. There’s promo art and trailers to be seen. If you don’t even know what the show is then I’ll explain! Terra Nova is about a colony of humans who travel back in time 85 million years to prehistoric Earth to avoid extinction. Naturally, the change in scenery means there will be dinosaurs to face. I will be sorely disappointed if someone on the show doesn’t make a reference to Jurassic Park (directed by Steven Spielberg who is also an executive producer on Terra Nova).
