Mark Pellegrino has a history of playing characters with shades of grey -- from Rita's ex-hubby Paul on Dexter to Jacob on LOST to Lucifer on Supernatural to Bishop on Being Human. In Spartan, he plays a convict on death row who is being transported for medical care when his world is blown apart by Val Kilmer.

I rather enjoy the BBC’s Being Human series. There’s something I like about the very short, to-the-point seasons; there’s just no time to beat around the bush and they can’t throw in a frustrating filler episode. It’s light and deep at the same time and it’s just a fun ride.
I’m not at all riveted to the new SyFy version of Being Human. It’s weird for me, to watch a remake of a series when the original hasn’t even finished telling its story yet. It seems … unnecessary. I feel no need to experience Being Human‘s Bizarro World, even though I have nothing against it and have caught most of it so far.
However, the BBC may be onto something with its newly-announced web series spinoff, Becoming Human, about a teenaged ghost, vampire and werewolf. Adam, the vampire, made an appearance in Being Human‘s third season and navigates high school with his new buds in the web series.
Everything about this move is a smart one:
They are not reinventing the wheel (you are, SyFy, and your wheel is square. …).
They are tapping into the vast teenaged market for all things supernatural (maybe they should meet a zombie, cover all of their bases?).
A web series is cheaper to make, therefore monetary risk is involved.
It’s really well done. I watched the first episode and it’s beautifully shot and quite funny … there’s even a Lost joke! Plus, there’s a legitimate, intriguing mystery arc — this isn’t your average teeny-bopper show. I’ll definitely be watching the rest of the series.
