Bruce Campbell Will Play President Reagan In FARGO Season 2

I am going to start this off with a confession. I am a TV junkie. I can freely admit that I spend more time in front of the TV than I should. I look at it as I am single handedly keeping the best shows on the air. 

Putting my distorted view of my self-worth aside for the moment, it looks like season 2 of Fargo just got a lot more interesting. As if it weren’t intriguing enough already; being that it is going to be a prequel season, they went and cast Ash himself, Bruce Freaking Campbell, as President Ronald Reagan. 

TVLine broke the news that Campbell will be appearing in one episode of Fargo. They reported:

"Taking place in the late 1970s, Season 2 — a prequel to Season 1 that stars Patrick Wilson as a younger version of Keith Carradine’s Lou Solverson — is set against “the cultural transformation that was going on at that time,” as well as Reagan’s first campaign for President of the United States, previewed FX Networks CEO John Landgraf back in January. “He’s on his first campaign [and he] makes a swing through Fargo. Some of the characters have some interactions with him. And some of his movies are also a part of the show.”

Campbell is just an added bonus to what is already an amazing cast. Starring alongside Wilson will be Nick Offerman, Kirsten Dunst, Brad Garrett, Ted Danson, Jesse Plemons, Kieran Culkin, and Campbell’s former Burn Notice co-star, Jeffrey Donovan. 

I am excited to see what they are going to do on the second season of this fantastic show.
