That’s Quite a Cast of Characters
Zack Snyder assembles a cast of relative unknowns for Watchmen
(Page 2)
Though his name might inspire thoughts of laughter, this Comedian is hardly ever joking. Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays the caped crusader—a rough-and-tumble government tool who chose to submit himself to the law instead of revealing his true identity. Some say The Comedian‘s a hardened misogynist, which would be a big change for Morgan whose most previous roles in P.S. I Love You and The Accidental Husband caught him smiling for reasons other than murder.
He’s been on Broadway, nominated for an Emmy for his work in Angels in America, belted his heart out in The Phantom of the Opera and in 2009 Patrick Wilson will take on yet another uninhibited role as the second Nite Owl. Motivated by the original Nite Owl and his band of Minutemen—ordinary citizens who were inspired by comic creations to patrol the city streets dressed in masks and form-fitting clothing—Wilson’s Owl joins the city’s masked adventurers during the Cold War.
