Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin's
adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's comic book series
Preacher for AMC has cast another character for the upcoming pilot.
According to Deadline Ian Colletti (Phoebe in
Wonderland, Rake) has been cast as Eugene Root, better known as Arseface, who
despite his "horribly disfigured face and severe speech impediment,
Eugene’s still the nicest kid you’ll ever meet and really looks up to Jesse.
Stomach-churningly difficult to look at, Eugene’s the town’s reviled
Frankenstein’s monster, but that won’t change his earnest, sweet and pure
outlook on life. However, he is troubled by something terrible he’s done in the
past — something he fears might have turned God himself against him."
Colletti is the second actor confirmed so far, he
joins Ruth Negga, who plays Tulip, our "hero" ex-girlfriend.
Preacher focuses on a small town preacher called Jessie
Custer, who has lost his faith, and has learned that God has left Heaven
and abandoned his responsibilities. He finds himself the only person capable of
tracking God down, demanding answers, and making him answer for his dereliction
of duty. Accompanying Jesse on his journey is his former girlfriend (Negga) and
a friendly vampire who seems to prefer a pint in the pub to the blood of the
innocent. On his tail is one of the most iconic bad guys in print – an
immortal, unstoppable killing machine named the Saint of Killers —a western
lone gunman archetype whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill Jesse.
