The series has a pretty interesting supporting cast, though by far the most attention-grabbing is that of Ian Colletti as Eugene Root, otherwise known as Arseface because, well just look at the image above. He's the son of the Sheriff, and disfigured after shooting himself in the face.

His father, Sheriff Hugo Root, will be played by W. Earl Brown (best known for his role in Deadwood), with the character described as a mean-hearted redneck type.

Lucy Griffiths (Nora in True Blood) will play Emily, a new creation for the show, a single mother and Cassidy's loyal friend; Elizabeth Perkins (Weeds) as businesswoman Vyla Quinncannon; Jackie Earle Haley as Odin Quinncannon, the chief employer in town; and Anotel Yusef and Tom Brooke as Adelphi angels tasked with watching over Gensesis.
