As part of the Syfy Digital Press Tour, journalists were taken on a tour of the

Defiance, including Irathient, Castithan, and Indogene.
The main presentation was a Q&A panel with the cast of
Defiance, including Grant Bowler, who plays Nolan, Stephanie Leonidas, who portrays the Irathient, Irisa, Julie Benz who plays Amanda Rosewater, Jaime Murray and Tony Curran, who play Castithans Stahma and Datak Tarr, respectively, and Graham Greene, who portrays Rafe McCawley. They were joined by the executive producer of the series, Kevin Murphy, and President of Original Content at Syfy, Mark Stern.
