He oozes confidence and leadership without ever having to raise his voice.
- Oldford will play Fei, Sparrow #3. She sees the world in a special way. She comes across as a misanthrope who would rather be alone than spend even a second with you. But truth be told, she wishes she had a friend. Most of the time, she is the smartest person in the room and willing to work things out. But if you cross her there's no looking back because Fei won't stop until the job is done.
- Epstein will play Alphonso, Sparrow #4. Years of crime fighting have left his face and body with countless visual reminders of his battles. To compensate, he is armed with a caustic and biting sense of humor. The only thing he likes better than verbally battering anyone foolish enough to get in his face, is a good pizza and a six-pack of beer.
- Rodriguez will play Sloane, Sparrow #5. A romantic and a dreamer who feels a higher cosmic calling leaving her eager to see the world and experience a life beyond her upbringing. But obligations to her family keep her tethered to the Academy, as does her fear of crossing the family line. But she has plans... and one day she might just be brave enough to act on them.
- David will play Jayme, Sparrow #6. She is a loner hidden under a hoodie. She doesn't say much because she doesn't have to. She has a fear-inducing snarl.
