Last week Syfy premiered its new series, Olympus. Tonight's new episode introduces the character of Kimon. In preparation for his debut on the show, actor Levi Meaden talked to Jamie Ruby in an exclusive interview about Kimon.

Kimon was not the character that Meaden originally auditioned for. "I had originally actually gone in for Lykos, but they went another way; they wanted somebody darker. They went with Wayne [Burns], who just does a great job. And they had me come in afterwards and read for Kimon. And I read for it and I thought it went well, but I didn't hear anything for a while.

"So I actually ended up going back home for a family reunion. I take very little vacation, but I was going to take four days, and about 36 hours into my trip I get a call saying I had to run back, because they wanted to test me for Kimon.

Tonight Syfy airs a new episode of its new series, Olympus, which premiered last week. Creator and director Nick Willing recently talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview about working on the new and unique series.

Willing is a big fan of mythology, and with Olympus, he wanted to do something different that he hadn't seen on television before. "I'd never seen a show quite like this on television. I've a bit of an Ancient Greek fanatic; I've always studied the Ancient Greeks, because I'm into two important things: one is psychology, and the other is the Classics.

"So one thing I've noticed is the Ancient Greek Classics have always been treated in modern television and cinema as a sort of fairy tale set in Ancient Greece, and I'd never actually seen Ancient Greek drama - the tragedies - portrayed on television. The great dramas of Phaedra, Medea, Oedipus, Antigone, the beginning of all drama, which informs so much of our modern day drama, is so much more outrageous and extreme and shocking, but is still as shocking today as it was then, has never actually been done on television.

Next Monday, FOX airs the all-new episode of Gotham, titled "Beasts of Prey," which introduces the character of the Ogre, played by Milo Ventimiglia, a serial killer who targers young women and goes after those close to anyone who investigates him.

Ventimiglia recently talked to the digital media about his work on the show.

The actor first talked to SciFi Vision about how he got the role of the Ogre. "I got a phone call from my agent saying that they wanted me, and I said, "Great." I’m a huge fan of Bruno Heller, his work, and I’m longtime friends of Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue, and I’ve been watching the show. And it was just one of those things where I had those connections, and then I went, "I’m free at the moment. So this sounds like a lot of fun." "

Ventimiglia also talked to the site about how the Ogre on Gotham is different from the original in the comics. "He is different than what’s in the DC universe. I took what was on the page, written by Bruno Heller’s team, and I pretty much went off of that. And my understanding of what they were looking for in a serial killer was a guy who was just looking for love, and as simple as it sounds, but as complex as it may be, and I just went with everything was off the page as it was written, knowing that it wasn’t a direct pull from the DC universe and the original Ogre. So it was actually exciting and fun and simple, because they wrote a really, really complex, dark character that was a lot of fun to play."
