AMC has cast British actor Joseph Gilgun as the Irish vampire named Cassidy for the Preacher TV series.
Deadline reported on the news and has the description for Cassidy: the most wild-ass, bestest “bro” you’d ever want to meet. He may be 100 years dead but no one’s more boisterously alive than Proinsias Cassidy. An incorrigible mischief-maker, Cassidy’s up for anything — joyriding, bungee-jumping, bank robbing, peyote dropping. He’s also a relentless conversationalist with opinions on everything from religion to politics to pop culture to theories on why people are better able to tolerate the odor of their own flatulence.
Their report also confirms Dominic Cooper is in talks for the series lead, Jesse Custer, aka Preacher.
Gilgun, known for Misfits and Lockout, joins the recent Preacher cast additions including Ruth Negga as Tulip and Ian Colletti as Arseface.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19722:]]
Following Ruth Negga being cast as the female lead, now Ian Colletti has been announced as Arseface for the AMC Preacher TV series.
Deadline reports Colletii will play Eugene Root, aka Arseface, with the character described as: “having a 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.”
Preacher follows Jesse Custer, 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.
Preacher is based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s 1990s comic; Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are developing the project for AMC and will direct the pilot, written by Sam Catlin who will serve as showrunner.

Ruth Negga, known for playing Raina in Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., has been cast as the series female lead in the Preacher TV series.
Negga will play Preacher’s ex-girlfriend, Tulip, described by Deadline: as a volatile, action-packed, sexified force of nature, a capable, unrepentant criminal with a love of fashion and ability to construct helicopter-downing bazookas out of coffee cans and corn shine who’s not afraid to steal, kill or corn cob-stab her way out of a bad situation.
