Amber Dowling “Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent” announced the cast for its initial season at MIPCOM on Monday, confirming six full-time leads for the Canadian iteration of the longest-running scripted drama brand in TV history. The all-Canadian cast includes Aden Young (“Rectify”) as Det. Sgt.
Henry Graff, Kathleen Munroe (“City on Fire”) as Det. Sgt. Frankie Bateman, Karen Robinson (“Schitt’s Creek”) as Inspector Vivienne Holness, K.C.
Collins (“The Cleaning Lady”) as Deputy Crown Attorney Theo Forrester, Nicola Correia-Damude (“Shadowhunters”) as Forensic Pathologist Dr. Lucy Da Silva, and Araya Mengesha (“Anne with an E”) as tech expert Mark Yohannes. Rogers Sports & Media confirmed the series last June following a two-year development period.
The show is currently halfway through production in Toronto on its 10-episode first season. “Lark Productions and Cameron Pictures Inc. have done a terrific job in securing a cast that underscores the essence of the ‘Law & Order’ franchise which has captivated fans for decades and builds on Citytv’s investment in popular and acclaimed compelling Canadian content,” says Hayden Mindell, SVP, Television, Rogers Sports & Media.
Along with the series’ casting, the show confirmed award-winning filmmaker Holly Dale (“Law & Order SVU”) will direct the first episode along with Episode 3 and the finale. Other first-season directors include Peter Stebbings, David Wellington, Sudz Sutherland, Rachel Leiterman, Winnifred Jong, Sharon Lewis and David Straiton. This is the first time an international iteration of “Law & Order” has been developed with entirely new characters and stories.
