PREACHER Casts RAKE Actor Ian Colletti As 'Arseface'
Yesterday we found out that Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Ruth Negga would be playing Tulip in AMC's Preacher adaptation, and now they've added 18-year old Ian Colletti as poor, unfortunate, hilarious Arseface. Click on for more...
Another cast member has been added to AMC's small screen take on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's insanely brilliant comic series, Preacher. Taking on the role of "Arseface" (aka Eugene Root) will be young Ian Colletti, who played the title role in the 2013 film Jimmy, and was a regular on Fox's Rake last year. This is a unique character to say the least, and his depiction on screen will almost certainly be met with some controversy. He's nicknamed Arseface because after a failed suicide attempt... well, his face resembles an arse! Here's how Deadline describe his Tv incarnation: "Even with his horribly disfigured face and severe speech impediment, Eugene's still the nicest kid you'll ever meet who 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 may have turned God himself against him."
