Fathers and Sons

Here's an interesting role reversal...

In Caprica Esai Morales plays Joseph Adama, the father of William Adama, played Edward James Olmos on BSG. But, on the PBS series created by Gregory Nava, American Family, Olmos played Jess Gonzalez and Esai Morales played his son, Estaban Gonzalez. Here's a scene of them together from YouTube thanks to carm573


American Family was a very well done, short lived show. Eddie played a sort of Mexican Archie Bunker. To see Eddie and creator Gregory Nava talking about the show, they were interviewed together on the Charlie Rose Show, quite a while ago. (They come on in the second half of the show, after a discussion about the 9/11 Commission, and Olmos and Nava come on at the 31 minute mark.)

Esai Morales was great on Jericho. I can really see him playing an Adama!
