Daniel Pinder sounds like any regular 25 year old, but this young actor will soon be starring in “Garrison 7: The Fallen”, one of the most anticipated science fiction movies that fans have been waiting for. Pinder first made his step onto the film scene with his role of Michael on NBC’s crime drama “Chicago Pd” and now he gears up for his biggest role yet as Kai in the G7 Universe, alongside Japanese actress Hazuki Kato. Hazuki Kato is a Japanese born actress who has starred in movies such as “Falcon Rising” and “Atomic Eden”. Kato will be playing Tarren Kh’an in G7.

We are unsure if Pinder’s character and Kato’s will meet in the film, but Pinder’s character is one of the key roles throughout the G7 Universe. There’s also been rumors of possible Asian filming locations, but that has not been confirmed yet.
