Graham McTavish Didn’t Meet The Rest Of The Cast Until Comic-Con
While most of the events in Preacher‘s first season take place in the small town of Annville, Texas, there have also been a handful of flashbacks to the late 19th century, where a soft-spoken family man (Graham McTavish) on a doomed mission to rescue his daughter finally goes over the edge.
Fans of the comic books will know this character as The Saint of Killers, who plays a significant role in Garth Ennis’ sprawling narrative. But because the series is still exploring the origins of this deadly bounty hunter, McTavish never had the opportunity to interact with the other Preacher cast members until he showed up at Comic-Con.
“It’s been terrible,” he told journalists. “I’ve felt a little lonely and sad and isolated in my 19th century world, with my horse – and the horse doesn’t last! He’s dead within a few minutes! But it was interesting, and in fact I’ve only just gotten to know these people. I was in isolation, like some kind of strange quarantine up in the desert. But I look forward to hopefully seeing a little bit more of them.”
