ArsefaceWe still don't have a Jesse Custer or Cassidy, but yesterday we learned that Ruth Negga (Agents of SHIELD) would play Tulip in the upcoming AMC pilot for Preacher… and now casting for one of the series more memorable characters Eugene Root / Arseface has been made. Ian Colletti (Rake) has join the project based on the Vertigo comic from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.

Root gets the nickname Arseface because he has a horribly disfigured face and severe speech impediment. Though he is an incredibly nice kid, his town reviles him. Though nothing seems to change his pure and earnest outlook on life… he is troubled by his past and fears God has turned against him.

Preacher is being produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
