Dollhouse - THE BASICS

Just a quick rundown of the show. It’s from Joss Whedon – the mastermind behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

This show already received an order of seven episodes, so it’s likely to air.

Summary
A group of young men and women called “Dolls” are imprinted with different personalities and talents for assignments. This state is considered “active.” They are housed in a complex called the Dollhouse where their minds are wiped clean, which is when they are considered “inactive.” The Dolls have no independent consciousness of their own and no memories of their previous lives. A Doll named Echo begins to try to find out who she really was.

Actors and Characters
Eliza Dushku is “Echo,” the Doll who begins to have memories of her previous life.

Olivia Williams is “Adelle DeWitt,” the ruthless and protective woman who runs the Dollhouse.

Tahmoh Penikett is “Paul Smith,” an FBI field agent obsessed with the urban myth of Dollhouse and a twisted romantic foil for Echo.

Fran Kranz is “Topher Brink,” a twenty-something genius programmer responsible for imprinting the Dolls.

Dichen Lachman is “Sierra,” a Doll like Echo and her friend, who has every personality in the world but her own.

Enver Gjokaj is “Victor,” also a Doll and a friend of Echo’s. He is childlike when he’s inactive, and everything from Errol Flynn to young DeNiro when he’s active.
