Tom Waits joins Citizen, a new Hulu supernatural drama

The multi-talented Tom Waits has joined the cast of Hulu’s new show, Citizen.

Set against the backdrop of a vibrant, ‘supernaturalized’ Los Angeles, Citizen is a hero origin story, blending gritty vigilantism with elements of magical realism.

Waits will play Cesar, a priest who is a walking anachronism of virtue and vice, mostly virtue. A proudly anti-authoritarian man, Cesar runs a guerrilla humanitarian outfit with questionable legality from his church in Boyle Heights.

I like the sound of that and Waits is always great.

Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer alongside Nicholas Schutt, Josh Pate and Anonymous Content’s David Kanter, Matt DeRoss and Steve Golin.
