Trio of Genre Vets Signed To Key Roles In Syfy’s Pilot, Incorporated!

Syfy’s Incorporated – the first television series from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Pearl Street Films – has added three quality genre veterans to its cast: Dennis Haysbert (pictured – 24, Now and Again), David Hewlitt (Stargate Atlantis, Dark Matter) and Ian Tracey (Wayward Pines, Continuum).

Set in a world where corporations run everything, Incorporated follows an executive, Ben (Sean Teale, Reign) who must change his identity to infiltrate a cutthroat world to save the woman he loves.

Haysbert plays Julian, Head of Security for one such corportation, SPIGA – he’s part investigator, part Torquemada (so, scary!). Hewlett plays Chad, a SPIGA executive who has risen through the ranks by sucking up to superiors and taking credit for the work of those below him. Tracey is Terrance, a corrupt businessman who may become a threat to Ben’s plans for SPIGA.

Further details lie just beyond the jump.

SYFY ANNOUNCES GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEE DENNIS HAYSBERT, DAVID HEWLETT AND IAN TRACEY TO JOIN CAST OF SYFY’S NEW FUTURISTIC ESPIONAGE THRILLER PILOT INCORPORATED

NEW YORK – August 19, 2015 – Syfy today announced that Golden Globe nominee Dennis Haysbert (24), David Hewlett (Stargate Atlantis) and Ian Tracey (Wayward Pines) have joined the cast of the channel’s new futuristic espionage thriller pilot Incorporated from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Pearl Street Films, CBS Television Studios and Universal Cable Productions.

Set in a world where companies have unlimited power, executive Ben Larson (Sean Teale, Reign) is forced to change his identity in order to infiltrate a cut-throat corporate world at SPIGA and save the woman he loves. In the process, he will take on the entire system — with deadly consequences.

Dennis Haysbert plays series regular Julian, Head of Security and probably the most feared person at SPIGA headquarters. Part detective and part grand inquisitor, Julian is a tenacious investigator with an uncanny ability to sniff out moles and traitors in the company.  Haysbert’s numerous credits include Major League, The Unit, Absolute Power, Jarhead and Ted 2.

David Hewlett has joined the cast of the pilot as Chad, a high-level executive at SPIGA, the all-powerful company in Incorporated, who has reached his position by appeasing his superiors and taking credit for the achievements of his subordinates. Hewlett has appeared in SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, Dark Matter and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Ian Tracey has joined the cast of the pilot as Terrence, a corrupt businessman who quickly becomes a benefactor to Theo (Eddie Ramos, Parenthood), but could also become a threat to Ben’s plans for SPIGA. Tracey has starred in Intelligence, Rogue and Bates Motel.

The pilot will also star Georgina Haig (Once Upon a Time), Eddie Ramos (Teen Wolf) and Julia Ormond (Mad Men).

Incorporated is created by David and Alex Pastor (Selfless, The Last Days), who wrote and will direct the pilot. Ted Humphrey (The Good Wife) will serve as executive producer/showrunner, with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Todd also executive producing. Pearl Street Film’s Margaret Chernin will serve as associate producer.
