"According to insider Daniel Richtman (via IGN), who has previously provided reliable casting details for projects like the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, the show is searching for a male lead in the 30-39 age range described as a "young Colin Farrell" type, as well as a 34-39-year-old female alien character requiring prosthetics. This has led fans to theorize that these roles are for a male Shepard and Liara, respectively."
"Other notable roles include a female character offering a parallel Earth-based narrative (maybe a gender-swapped Captain Anderson from Mass Effect 3), a villain described as a Doug Jones type aged 40-60, and a soldier-like male character aged 30-49, who evokes comparisons to James Vega. The character descriptions have fueled intense speculation, particularly around the apparent decision to cast a male lead."
Casting leaks indicate Amazon's Mass Effect TV series is actively searching for actors, including a male lead described as a "young Colin Farrell" and a prosthetics-requiring female alien. The descriptions have prompted identification with Commander Shepard and Liara T'Soni, while additional roles hint at a parallel Earth narrative, a Doug Jones-type villain, and a soldier reminiscent of James Vega. The apparent choice to target a specific male lead has intensified debate over whether the male Shepard will be treated as canonical despite the games' emphasis on player choice. Amazon has not confirmed a direct adaptation of the original trilogy.
