Fan Casting Jody in View Askew's Preacher

A grim, muscular thug with a darkly humorous smile and an unshakeable sense of purpose. He murdered Jesse's father in a cornfield in 1974, putting a pearl-handled .45 to the man's head while T.C. held a five-year-old Jesse back. For three decades he has been Gran'ma's enforcer, beating obedience into the boy-turned-preacher with the conviction that he was toughening him up for God's work. When Jesse finally snaps his spine in the burning ruins of Annville, Jody dies smiling, proud of the man his beatings created.
