Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda´s Kevin Sorbo joined the movie Alongside Night, along with Garrett Wang (Star Trek: Voyager’s Ensign Kim), Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager’s Lt. Tuvok) and Gary Graham (Alien Nation’s Det. Matt Sikes, Star Trek: Enterprise’s Vulcan Ambassador Soval), among other actors. http://permakent.com/

The movie is based on the highly-acclaimed 1979 novel adapted and to be directed by its author, J. Neil Schulman (writer/director of Lady Magdalene’s, writer of Twilight Zone: “Profile in Silver”). http://trekweb.com/stories.php?aid=4c36fcf9860aa

Alongside Night is the story of the final economic collapse of the United States as seen through the eyes of 18-year-old Elliot Vreeland, searching for his missing Nobel-laureate-economist father, and the mysterious 18-year-old "Lorimer" whom Elliot meets in a black-market underground, whose own father might be the reason Elliot's father is missing. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1667061/

Kevin plays the role of Dr. Martin Vreeland, the Nobel - laureate-economist and is  one of the executive producers. His wife Sam Sorbo is also part of the project.

The director said about Kevin on the movie: “Kevin is a consummate professional and that makes my job as writer/director easy. Just say action and he turns in a performance that brings the words I wrote to life. Aside from that, Kevin understands the principles behind the story. He’s economically and politically literate and comes out on the side of individual liberty.”  http://lfb.org/blog/interview-with-j-neil-schulman/
