The young performers excel here, and Caleb Dolden is particularly impressive for a young actor, taking on a role that requires considerable range.
Aside from Strahovski, I thought the rest of the cast was strong, with Caleb Dolden, who plays Arlo Chenoweth. His character is at the heart of everything that goes down, and he does a great job carrying that weight.
Though none of the actors are bad - Strahovski, Spencer, Dolden and Bierre are, in fact, getting impressive value out of minimal material.
