Robert Knepper will play actor Roger Reeves who portrays charismatic cult leader Billy Grimm on the show-within-a-show. Billy is a charismatic madman who commands his own cult of followers willing to do anything Billy asks of them – including kidnapping and murder. Meanwhile, off-screen Roger is an affable, working actor.
Knepper joins Jessica Lucas (Melrose Place) and Alona Tal (Supernatural) in the CW pilot.

much more excited for this now!
ReplyDeleteHeh. That casting is a little on the nose.
ReplyDeleteThink i'll pass on this one.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me more interested in Cult. Robert Knepper can do creepy and charismatic very well.
ReplyDeleteHe plays that part so well this is just perfect... or too perfect maybe.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not sold on this project, but his inclusion makes me want to watch a pilot for sure!
HE was brilliant in Carnivale and of course Prison Break or Breakout Kings as Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell
Heck he even almost made Heroes and Stargate SG-U watchable at times! XD
I love the detail that his "off screen" character will be a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteLove Robert Knepper, so yes this pilot is now sounding a lot more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about Robert the other day wondering what he was up to and thinking he would be a great guest star in Justified. I am still very intrigued by this show, it might be a great or a mess but I don't think it will be boring!
ReplyDeleteI love him as an actor. But he will always be T-Bag for me ^^
ReplyDeletewow. this is huge! i will surely be checking it out!
