'OF KINGS AND PROPHETS'
LOUIS TALPE IS PRINCE ELIAB
In other news from epic TV series 'Deadline' reports that Belgian
actor Louis Talpe has landed a season long recurring role on ABC’s
midseason drama OF KINGS AND PROPHETS. Postponed for recasting and
reshooting after a rather terrible first trailer, it is an epic Biblical saga of faith, ambition and betrayal
as told through the eyes of a battle weary king, a powerful and
resentful prophet and a resourceful young shepherd on a collision course
with destiny. Talpe will play Eliab, King David’s (Oliver Rix) proud
and single minded older brother. King Saul is played by Ray Winstone
while Nathaniel Parker is King Achish of Philistia!

BRITISH EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
The story is set in the waning days of World War II in the small village of Walmington-on-Sea, where Captain George Mainwaring (Jones) is
leading a group of volunteers in the Home Guard. In a bizarre twist of
fate, Mainwaring and his men might just become Britain's last line of
defence against the Nazis when they discover a spy in their village.
