GrandMasterMarek Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 These sound like good additions to me. There is cast members popping out of everywhere I swear but good choices I think this was response to the photo JJ Abrahams released of the official cast critics stated there were to few female actors, Time to act is what they did.
