Rollie Crane

Rollie Crane is a character on Defying Gravity portrayed by Ty Olsson.
Once the Mission Commander onboard Antares, Rollie is now CapCom, calling the shots as best he can from the confines of Mission Control. The type of guy who is everyone’s best friend or big brother, Rollie is fiercely loyal, good and kind. Married to Jen for two years, Rollie has always been, and will always be, desperately in love with her. When an accident threatens Rollie’s career, we’ll see his natural honesty clash with ISO brass, an unnatural and heart-wrenching test for this tried and true company man.
