And as some of these guest characters matter to the main three, they, like Rozon’s Issac, “use humor a lot to deflect feelings and deal with feelings.”īut then, he felt the more fluid tone – which he described as “heart, humor, and hectic” - is essential to the show. Viewers will see that from the first episode, which introduces Elida, Issac, third major character Amae ( Alex McGregor), antagonist Lozaro ( Paul du Toit), and a host of secondary characters who come to life almost immediately - if, in some cases, just to be quickly knocked off the board. It kind of gives me a Guardians of the Galaxy feel when it comes to adding all those aspects into one.” “Everyone usually chooses, ‘Oh, this is comedy, we can’t have these heavy drama moments.’ Or ‘Oh, this is drama, we can’t have it that funny.’ But I love that we choose where we need to put that comedy, and we choose where we need to put those heavy moments to make it realistic and make you invested in the character storylines. It was one of the appealing aspects both Rae and Rozon found when the ready the pilot script. It can feature a bombastic, heroic slow-mo shot and immediately segue into a joke. “I haven’t felt so right for a part pretty much since Doc Holliday,” Rozon said, although, “Doc can be pretty intense, whereas Isaac is just a bumbling fool, and I feel like I’m a little closer to that at times.”Īlso like Wynonna Earp and other Canadian-produced sci-fi shows, Vagrant Queen likes to play fast and loose with its tone. His character, a stranded Earthman named Issac who serves as Elida’s “goofy sidekick,” may seem somewhat familiar to fans of Rozon from Wynonna Earp, in which he plays Doc Holliday - which is to say, there’s a bit of a scoundrel to Issac. “For my screen test, I made sure I had orange-reddish hair color to match from the comic book,” Rozon said. Like her, he read it before the audition and felt it helped him get the part. Rae’s co-star Tim Rozon couldn’t wait to read the comic once it came on his radar.

But in Rae’s case, it was important to get to know as much about Elida as possible. Some actors prefer to wait to read the source comic – particularly if it is more recent or lesser known. But she’s someone who had to grow up fast, which is exactly like me.” “She feels as though she has to always be the rock for everyone. “I loved Elida overall, just how she was fleshed out and her thoughts and she clicked with me instantly,” she told Rotten Tomatoes recently. And for Rae, reading that original comic was key to preparing to play Elida in the series in fact, she read it prior to the audition to get into the character’s headspace. It is the sort of premise fan-favorite shows are built on, and it was the result of the slightly more serious comic book by Magdalene Visaggio and Jason Smith. But Elida’s position on the matter is quite clear: She wants nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, a group of loyalists hopes to restore her to the throne. Think of it as the Commonwealth of England with masked storm troopers instead of Oliver Cromwell and his forces. The series stars Adriyan Rae as Elida, a scavenger in the wilds of a distant galaxy (not ours) with a big secret: She’s the deposed heir to an intergalactic kingdom under the boot of a tyrannical Republic. Vagrant Queen is the sort of irreverent, emotional, and fun space series that Syfy has been lacking for some time.
