6 Things You Need to Know About Robert Kirkman's New Series "Outcast"4 of 6
The reverend is not always reverent.
One of the show's central characters is self-styled exorcist Reverend Anderson, played by Philip Glenister. "The reverend in this small town has this power over his flock. Every week they come along to see him perform. He sees himself as a soldier of god," says Glenister. However, there is more to him than fire and brimstone. "As the course of the series progresses, we learn that actually all of this bravura and all of this performance is actually a cover in many respects for the man inside who is kind of a broken human being, a lonely man: spirited, confused, and in denial. That’s what made him intriguing. He’s not just a man of the cloth. He drinks. He smokes. He’s a bit out there."
