Elijah Wood brings ‘Green’ to life, an unpaid intern who eagerly tackles any task thrown his way. His fun fact? He’s happy to be there and gladly accepts payment in pizza.
New additions to the cast include Dan Stevens, Liv Hewson, and Kimiko Glenn. Stevens voices ‘Blue,’ the Doctor, who provides both physical and emotional care while also holding a doctorate in poetry. Hewson portrays ‘Black,’ a stoic Geologist overseeing ore shipments and preferring rocks to people.
