Where You've Seen The Cast Of This Supernatural Drama Before
Luna and Harlan's adoptive father, Garrett Briggs, is played by Rodrigo Santoro. Viewers first meet Garrett, a California park ranger tackling the wildfires, in a flashback which shows him finding Luna and Harlan as cubs. But it's later in the first episode — where he tries to record a message for his children, believing he won't make it — that the audience really gets a sense of his character. He pulls himself together and fights to escape, knowing his children need him, even if Harlan doesn't think of him as "their real father."
Viewers might recognize the seasoned Brazilian actor as Karl from the Christmas rom-com "Love Actually." After "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," "Love Actually" was one of his first big acting jobs in the U.S., and Santoro admitted to Joe.ie that he got pretty starstruck at the table read, surrounded by stars like Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, and Alan Rickman. He later played Alex in "What to Expect When You're Expecting," another star-studded ensemble rom-com which had him sharing the screen with Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Cameron Diaz, and Chris Rock.
Prior to starring in TV shows like "Westworld" and "Boundless," Santoro took on the role of Biggie in the film "Project Power," starring alongside Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Biggie, a power-hungry salesman, was an interesting character for Santoro to play, and a far cry from his role as Garrett Briggs. Santoro told Screen Rant that he worked hard to unearth who his character was, so he didn't just portray a stereotypical salesman and dealer.
