POWERS OF PRAGMATISM 'ALPHAS' WRITER ZAK PENN SAYS CHARACTERS IN NEW SYFY SHOW WANT TO KNOW 'WHAT'S IN THIS FOR
2011
Overview
\"They're super, but they're not heroic - they want to know, 'What's in this for me?' \" Penn said. \"Alphas\" stars David Strathairn as Dr. Lee Rosen, a preeminent neurologist with a fatherly devotion to his team of operatives, all of whom (unlike Rosen) possess Alpha Skills. He needs all of his wisdom and patience just to defuse the conflicts within his team, which includes the superstrong Bill Harken (Malik Yoba), the will-bending Nina Theroux (Laura Mennell), powerfully perceptive Gary Bell (Ryan Cartwright) and hyperkinetic Cameron Hicks (Warren Christie).The genesis for the show was [Michael Karnow]'s interest in MK-ULTRA, the real-life covert project that sought to unlock secrets of the human brain for military uses. Those programs inspired the loopy film \"The Men Who Stare at Goats,\" but in this new venture they have also led to an adventure-team concept that Penn says \"is closer in its DNA to procedural shows like 'The X-Files' or 'Fringe.' \"
