Preacher – W. Earl Brown Fathers Arseface
The casting news for AMC’s “Preacher” keeps rolling in as Deadline is now reporting that Scream and “Deadwood’s” W. Earl Brown has signed on to play the villainous Hugo Root, the mean-hearted father of Arseface and a local sheriff.
The project, from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Sony TV, and AMC Studios, centers on Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a conflicted preacher in a small Texas town who merges with a creature that has escaped from heaven and develops the ability to make anyone do anything he says. Along with his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), the three embark on a journey to literally find God.
The cast also includes Lucy Griffiths as Emily; Elizabeth Perkins as Vyla Quinncannon, a genteel but formidable businesswoman who owns the local slaughterhouse in Annville; and Ian Colletti as Eugene Root, aka Arseface.
