New interview: Joel Gretsch

Fancast has a new interview with Joel Gretsch, who plays Father Jack. Here is a part of it:

Erica, Georgie, Ryan and Father Jack – these are the four people that are going to save the world?
What a resistance team, huh? Hey, it’s a start. But we have a lot to do, that’s for sure.

Is Ryan quick to reveal his true V self, or does he tuck that information away for a later time?
We ended the last episode sitting around and talking, and that’s where we pick it up. But yeah, there is a lot to deal with – and thank goodness everyone is coming with different kinds of information. Ryan brings a lot to the table.

Father Jack has proven to be a bit of an action-hero priest. Why is he so vested in this cause?
What I love about Father Jack is that he has strong beliefs, and right from the get go he has been questioning of the V’s. He feels like he is protecting a lot – not just peoples’ relationships to God, but also we see now their lives. So the stakes are high.

Might he have some unique resources to tap into as the series goes on?
Absolutely. The one thing you get wind of tonight is Father Jack’s past, and it’s more complex than what meets the eye. Before he showed up at this congregation, he had a past that will be informative to where he’s going.

In the real world, has the Catholic Church ever expressed a stance on extraterrestrial life?
I don’t know. What do you think?

V series premiere press release

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SERIES PREMIERE OF "V" ARRIVES TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3 ON ABC

Elizabeth Mitchell, Scott Wolf, Morena Baccarin, Morris Chestnut, Joel Gretsch Among Stars

"V" is a re-imagining of the 1980s' miniseries about the world's first encounter with an alien race. With huge spaceships simultaneously appearing over 29 cities around the world, the Visitors (or Vs) seem to promote a message of peace. Through their generous offer to share advanced technology, the V's quickly build a following that may be overlooking a more malevolent agenda. The premiere of "V," from Warner Bros. Television, airs TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on ABC.

In the premiere episode, "Pilot," an image of Anna (Morena Baccarin), the leader of the Vs, is projected worldwide as she speaks about everyone joining together and no longer being divided by country or separated by fear. She wants us all to unite, and is counting on a very important component of human nature -- devotion. At first considered a threat, the Vs quickly become a fascination and a link to things that lay just beyond our reach. For Tyler (Logan Huffman), a teenaged boy, the Vs are his ticket to being a part of something big and something that offers hope. To Chad (Scott Wolf), an egotistical news anchor who wants to further his career, his exclusive interview with Anna begins his desire to dominate the airwaves. Father Jack (Joel Gretsch), a priest with questioning faith, is hesitant to believe in the Visitors' righteousness and goes outside of the church in search of the truth. There are other dissidents who believe the Visitors aren't who they say they are, including Ryan (Morris Chestnut), who is faced with a life-altering decision when the Vs show up. And to FBI Counter Terrorist Agent Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell), who discovers, while investigating a terrorist cell, what lurks beneath the alarmingly human exterior of the Visitors, resisting this new world has never been more important -- and never has there been more at stake. This truly is the dawning of a new day.

"V" stars Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans, Morris Chestnut as Ryan Nichols, Joel Gretsch as Father Jack, Lourdes Benedicto as Valerie, Logan Huffman as Tyler Evans, Laura Vandervoort as Lisa, with Morena Baccarin as Anna, and Scott Wolf as Chad Decker.

Guest starring in "Pilot" are Alan Tudyk as Dale Maddox, Jesse Wheeler as Brandon, Britt Irvin as Haley Gordon, David Richmond-Peck as Georgie, Christopher Shyer as Marcus, Scott Hylands as Father Travis and Stefan Arngrim as Roy.
