deadline.com/2015/04/lucy-griffiths-cast-preacher-pilot-amc-1201407516/True Blood alumna Lucy Griffiths has joined the cast of AMC drama pilot Preacher, based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s cult 1990s comic. Dominic Cooper continues to be in negotiations for the lead in the project, from Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, Sony TV and AMC Studios. It centers on 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. Along with his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), the three embark on a journey to literally find God. British actress Griffiths, repped by Don Buchwald & Associates, Principal Entertainment LA and UK’s Hamilton Hodell, plays Emily, a no-nonsense single mother of three who is a waitress, the church organist, bookkeeper and Jesse’s loyal right hand. The cast also includes Ian Colletti, who was plays Eugene Root, aka Arseface.

www.bleedingcool.com/2015/04/12/lucy-griffiths-gets-another-shot-in-a-vertigo-world/Lucy Griffiths Gets Another Shot In A Vertigo World Lucy Griffiths is probably best known for her turn as Lady Marian in the BBC’s Robin Hood or as Nora in HBO’s True Blood… but she was also Liv Aberdine in the pilot episode of NBC’s Constantine and that didn’t work out too well. Now she is getting another shot at a comic book series from Vertigo as she has been cast in Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Caitlin’s adaptation of the Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon series Preacher. Griffiths will play Emily Woodrow, a no-nonsense single mother of three. Emily’s a waitress, the church organist, a bookkeeper and Jesse Custer’s loyal right hand. Stoic and strong, wise beyond her years, she can’t help but have a little thing for Preacher Jesse. Griffiths joins a cast that also includes Ruth Negga as Tulip O’Hare, Joseph Gilgun as Irish vampire Cassidy and Ian Colletti as Eugene Root (aka Arseface). The lead role of Jesse has not been cast yet but rumors are they want Dominic Cooper for the role.
