Alien: Earth characters inspired by Ash

Alien: Earth stars reveal that two new Synthetic characters were heavily influenced by Ash from the original Alien film. Timothy Olyphant, who plays Kirsh, and Babou Ceesay, who plays Morrow, both cited Ian Holm's iconic android performance as a key inspiration for their roles. The series is set two years before the events of Alien and will feature the Xenomorph on Earth for the first time.
