Acara TV Kesukaan Ulie Soewondo | Castle at StarWorld

Castle follows Nathan Fillion as Richard Castle, a famous mystery novelist who has killed off his main character in his book series and has writer's block. He is brought in by the NYPD for questioning regarding a copy-cat murder based on one of his novels. He is intrigued by this new window into crime and murder, and uses his connections to charm his way into shadowing the captivating Detective Kate Beckett, played by Stana Katic. Castle decides to use Beckett as the model for the main character of his next book series starring "Nikki Heat". Beckett, an avid reader of Castle's books, initially disapproves of having Castle shadow her on her cases, but later warms up and recognizes Castle as a useful resource in her team's investigations.

Main Cast

• Nathan Fillion as Richard Edgar "Rick" Castle – Castle is a best-selling mystery writer. Born Richard Alexander Rodgers, he adopted the middle name Edgar in honor of Edgar Allan Poe. Castle was plagued with writer's block after killing off his popular lead character, Derrick Storm, whom he no longer found inspiring. He then found himself involved in the case of a copy-cat killer recreating murder scenes from his novels, investigated by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett. Castle discovers a new source of inspiration in her and soon begins shadowing her investigations, affording him the opportunity to use his knowledge and skills to help solve murders.
• Stana Katic as Detective Kate Beckett – Beckett, a homicide detective with the NYPD, is a first-class investigator who has gained a reputation for being intrigued by unusual cases. She joined the force after her mother was murdered in an unsolved case.^[3] After meeting Beckett, Castle is inspired to begin a new series of novels about a female NYPD detective named Nikki Heat, clearly based on Beckett.
• Jon Huertas as Detective Javier Esposito – Esposito works in the homicide division as part of Beckett's team. He is always ready with a sardonic comment to keep Beckett on her toes and enjoys the way Castle riles her up. He and Kevin Ryan are close friends, even though they constantly argue about obscure facts.^[4]
• Seamus Dever as Detective Kevin Ryan – Ryan also works as part of Beckett's team. He and Esposito regularly tease Beckett, but they are also protective of her and ultimately treat her like one of the guys.^[5] The character was a late addition to the show as the original presentation pilot was only 37 minutes long. ^[6] Ryan recently married Jenny O'Malley.
• Tamala Jones as Dr. Lanie Parish – Parish, a medical examiner with an upbeat outlook, is also a friend of Beckett's, one of the few people Beckett can talk to easily and without reservation. Parish notices the personal connection between Beckett and Castle and urges her to act on it.^[7] In the third season, Lanie and Esposito began a relationship they believed was secret, though every other main character was aware of it.
• Ruben Santiago-Hudson as Captain Roy Montgomery (Season 1–3) – Montgomery, Beckett's boss, appreciates her determination and diligence but maintains a close watch to make sure the investigations go smoothly. He is amused by how much Castle annoys Beckett but also appreciates how effectively the two work together. He is killed after staging a trap to capture a hired killer involved in the conspiracy that killed Beckett's mother.^[8]
• Molly Quinn as Alexis Castle – Alexis, Castle's teenage daughter by his first wife Meredith, is unusually intelligent for her age, and is often more mature and responsible than her father. She is very bright and enjoys school. A running gag in the series has her begging Castle to force her to study and do her homework instead of 'fun' activities like parties and overnight trips. Her social and interpersonal issues often parallel some aspect of the case Castle and Beckett are investigating, and Castle sometimes asks her opinion on a killer's motivation.^[9]
• Susan Sullivan as Martha Rodgers – Rodgers, an actress on and off Broadway, is Castle's mother and lives with him and Alexis. She helps her son through the difficulties of raising a teenage girl (even one as mature as Alexis) but also has an active social life of her own. She lives with Castle partly because a previous husband absconded with all her savings.^[10]
• Penny Johnson Jerald as Captain Victoria Gates (Season 4) – Captain Montgomery's replacement. Formerly with Internal Affairs, Captain Gates (known to some as "Iron Gates") is more interested in career advancement, and takes a dimmer view than her predecessor of the Beckett-Castle dynamic.^[11]
