Callum Keith Rennie joins Fifty Shades of Grey

It took a while, but the cast of Fifty Shades of Grey is starting to shape up. Battlestar Galactica veteran Callum Keith Rennie has joined the cast as Ray Steele, Anastasia's stepfather. Rennie has recently been seen on The Killing and Californication.

Ray Steele is described as an Army vet who married Ana's mother after her first husband died. Though they later divorced, Anastasia still considers him her real father and was taught about self-defense, guns, and tools by him. He is also a skilled carpenter and an avid fly fisher. He doesn't have a huge role in the books so I wouldn't be surprised if the movie role is expanded a bit.

Fifty Shades of Grey is set to open in theaters on February 13, 2015.

Marcia Gay Harden joins Fifty Shades of Grey

Marcia Gay Harden is the latest addition to Fifty Shades of Grey in a pretty decent wave of casting news. She will play Christian Grey's adoptive mother, Dr. Grace Trevelyan Grey. She is also the adoptive mother to Elliot Grey (Luke Grimes) and Mia Grey (Rita Ora). Grace is a pediatrician described to have sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes. Christian's father, Carrick Grey, has yet to be cast.

Marcia Gay Harden recently finished filming the latest from Woody Allen, Magic in the Moonlight, and has appeared on HBO's The Newsroom. Fifty Shades of Grey began filming this week and will hit theaters on February 13, 2015.


Eloise Mumford joins Fifty Shades of Grey

Eloise Mumford has been cast as Kate Kavanagh, the best friend and roommate of Anastasia Steele. Kate is described as a 22-year old vivacious woman with strawberry blonde hair, green eyes, and a curvaceous body. Ana describes Kate in the books as breathtakingly beautiful.

Mumford's most recognizable role (probably) is Lena Landry on the television series, The River. She also starred in So Undercover alongside Miley Cyrus. I personally have never seen her before, so I'm just whatever about this one. Fifty Shades of Grey opens in theaters on February 13, 2015.


Rita Ora joins Fifty Shades of Grey

British singer Rita Ora has joined the cast of Fifty Shades of Grey. Ora will be playing Mia Grey, the adoptive sister of Christian and Elliot Grey. Mia is described as a tall, curvaceous, bubbly 22-year old woman who plays the cello and is fluent in French.

Ora only has four film credits to her name and is currently signed to Jay-Z's Roc Nation record label. Filming for Fifty Shades of Grey began this past Monday and is set to hit theaters on February 13, 2015.

Victor Rasuk joins Fifty Shades of Grey

Victor Rasuk has been confirmed for the cast of Fifty Shades of Grey. He will be playing Christian Grey's romantic rival and Anastasia Steele's classmate, Jose Rodriguez. For an easy comparison, Jose to Christian is like Jacob was to Edward in Twilight.

29-year old Rasuk has previously starred in Lords of Dogtown and Raising Victor Vargas. I recognized him right off as the guy who played the wounded soldier in Stop-Loss. He will also star in the upcoming reboot of Godzilla starring director Sam Taylor-Johnson's husband, Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
