Another actor has been locked in for the upcoming AMC TV series adaptation of the Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon comic book series Preacher, which is written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, with Sam Catlin acting as showrunner.

It’s being reported that Joseph Gilgun has been cast in the role of Cassidy, an Irish vampire who’s joining the main character Jesse Custer and his ex-girlfriend Tulip O’Hare as they seek to find God…actually find God, not just spiritually.

If you’re unfamiliar with Gilgun’s work, you can check out a scene with him below.

The first official casting for AMC’s TV series adaptation of the popular comic book Preacher from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg has been announced.

Ruth Negga, who plays Raina on ABC’s Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., has been cast as the female lead in Preacher, a character named Tulip. Tulip is the ex-girlfriend of the main character of the show, Jesse Custer, a preacher who merges with an entity that has escaped Heaven, giving him the ability to command those who can hear and understand him to do as he says.

Back in November it was rumored that AMC had ordered a pilot for a potential new TV series based on the hit comic book Preacher from writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, and that comedy tag team Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg were involved in the project.

This news has now been confirmed, as it’s being reported that Rogen and Goldberg are in fact officially adapting Preacher for AMC, and that Breaking Bad executive producer, writer, and director Sam Catlin will act as the series showrunner.

Quiet hours of Breaking Bad are eventful, but not in ways that are maybe as overt as more action-packed hours of the show. Having officially reached the halfway point in these last eight episodes, the series needed to take a break and regroup as the end game is continued to be pieced together as the threads between the show’s future and present begin to weave together like latticework.
