When I first heard about Berlin Station, I got excited, very excited, mostly because of the casting. Series lead Richard Armitage, who plays CIA Analyst Daniel Miller, is not only easy on the eyes, he fits the bill of what you want a spy to look like – tall, handsome, fit, and intelligent. While all these things make up the Hollywood version of what operatives look like, spies come in all shapes and sizes. The impressive casting in Berlin Station includes Richard Jenkins as Chief Steven Frost, Rhys Ifans as Case Office Hector DeJean, Michelle Forbes as Internal Branch Chief Valerie Edwards, and Leland Orser as Deputy Chief Robert Kirsch.
