“It was actually the last day on Preacher that the phone rang and it was Maril and she said, ‘We’d like to bring you back.’
“So I thought, ‘Oh yeah, flashbacks and stuff,’ and she said, ‘As your own bastard son.’
“I’m like, ‘Wow, alright,’ and then I had the make-up test for it. I was actually in Scotland shortly afterwards and they did the whole Buck look.”
