Both hispanic, AFAIK. However, when Gay Uncle Guido was taking Willie through Little Tauron, the shopkeepers were of quite diverse ethnicities. So I don’t think you can read an actor’s ethnicity straight over to the character’s home Colony. Which would match up with what we saw in BSG.

I’m enjoying Polly Walker.  
I’m enjoying Allesandra Torresani.  
Ergo, I’m enjoying _Caprica_.

If Mrs. Graystone didn’t remind me so much of one of Jack Bauer’s ex-girlfriends, I’d be enjoying it more, though.

Actually, it was Magda Apanowicz (Lacy) for me.

Also, I wish the Adamas and Graystones storylines were separate instead of the cliche of everything revolves around one family.

Nonetheless, I’m enjoying the series so far.

😛

Sorry, but the image is amusing.

I paid way too much to download the Unrated trailer when it was first released. I enjoyed it well enough, but I was much happier than I expected to be with this first new episode.
