Showtime's Halo adds Bokeem Woodbine and Natascha McElhone

Variety

Fargo alum Woodbine will play Soren-066, "a privateer at the fringes of human civilization whose fate will bring him into conflict with his former military masters and his old friend, the Master Chief." McElhone returns to Showtime after starring on Californication from 2007 to 2014. She'll play two characters on Halo: "Dr. Catherine Halsey, the creator of the Spartan supersoldiers, and Cortana, the most advanced AI in human history, and potentially the key to the survival of the human race." Woodbine and McElhone are among six new cast members on Halo.
