Stargirl: 10 Facts About the Characters and Cast

1. #005

   Before "Stargirl" was pitched to Geoff as an idea for Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E., they could not include S.T.R.I.P.E., Pat Dugan's signature armor. Geoff felt it would be wrong to tell the story without the armor and refused. This is one of the many reasons he enjoys making the 2020 series Stargirl: they managed to stay realistically faithful to the source material. From the moment Geoff considered the live-action cast for Pat Dugan, he envisioned Luke Wilson in the role. So much so that he wrote the script with Luke in mind, mailed the pilot to Luke along with a letter, and met with him to discuss the matter. Geoff explained that Luke has that "grounded, trying-to-do-the-right-thing-but-maybe-not-always-capable-of-doing-it" quality that captures Pat Dugan.

   Geoff Johns said that casting Stargirl was a difficult process and that hundreds of actresses auditioned for the role. Johns explained why Bassinger was perfect for the role: "I knew immediately that she was Courtney. She has humor, enthusiasm, energy and an innate optimism, and Brec truly represents who Stargirl is."

   The series opens with the deaths of the original members of the Justice Society of America (JSA). Geoff Johns said that with the younger generation taking on their role, "their paths weren't finished. They don't know where they're going to be or what's going to happen. So there are all sorts of mistakes they can make and choices they can make, and who knows what their ultimate fate will be? It creates a lot of fun and a lot of unpredictability."

   Cameron Gellman was the last series regular cast because Geoff Johns and the rest of the team could not find the perfect Rick Tyler/Hourman. He was cast for a role in January 2019, while the other actors had signed in November and December 2018. When he auditioned he picked a fake character and claimed his character was "Rick Harris," and he was a little upset when he signed the contract for the pilot. Despite signing a series regular contract, he thought they had given him a small role rather than a series regular role. After LJ from Supersuits called him, he learned he was playing a superhero named "Hourman," a secret that was kept even from Cameron's own team. After flying to Atlanta, he expected to shoot only a three-week pilot, but while talking with Brec he learned the series was going straight to a 13-episode order and that he would be in Atlanta for six and a half months. She was the one who told him that Rick was in the JSA and would appear in almost every episode.
