Rutger Hauer, seen recently on “True Blood”, will return to TV for the ABC Fairytale Comedy “Galavant”.
The veteran film star will recur on Dan Fogelman’s midseason musical fairytale comedy, “about a knight (Joshua Sasse) taking on the evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson) who stole the woman he loved.”
Deadline says :
Hauer will play Kingsley, King Richard’s older, bigger and more badass brother who will threaten his little brother’s rule — and since he is a man so destined to be a great king that his parents named him Kingsley.
“Myself and our producing director Chris Koch are the biggest Rutger fans of all time; Chris can practically recite Blade Runner from memory,” Fogelman told Deadline. “While the musical comedy aspect of our show makes it obviously pretty different from Floris, there is something about merging the worlds — and a badass Rutger — that makes it pretty exciting.”
John Stamos, Ricky Gervais, and Weird Al Yankovic are also onboard.
