Alan Ruck, who guest starred in the pilot for Fox’s new drama The Exorcist, is joining the series as a series regular.
Inspired by William Blatty’s 1971 book and the classic horror movie, The Exorcist is a serialized psychological thriller following two very different men — Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) and Father Marcus Brennan (Ben Daniels) — tackling the Rance family’s case of horrifying demonic possession and confronting the face of true evil.
Ruck plays Henry, the Rance family’s patriarch. Once a successful civil engineer, Henry suffered a traumatic accident that left him permanently impaired. Now he finds himself a prisoner inside his own body, frustrated by his lack of progress and his inability to help his family in their time of need. Despite all this, he remains a warm, loving presence, and someone who will go to any lengths to protect the ones he loves.
