Lee Majors Cast as Ash's Dad in ASH VS. EVIL DEAD
The Six Million Dollar Man himself, Lee Majors, has officially been cast as Brock Williams, Ash's father, in Sam Raimi's Ash Vs. Evil Dead series. I've never really thought about Ash's dad, or what kind of person he would be, but it looks like we're going to find out! The casting of Majors in the role seems like a perfect fit!
The news comes from TV Line who also reports that executive producer Ted Raimi has also joined the cast of Season 2. He will play Ash's childhood best friend, Chet Kaminski. Ted is Sam Raimi's older brother, and he has appeared in all of the previously made Evil Dead films in different roles.
The first season of Ash Vs. Evil Dead was amazingly entertaining. It was everything I was hoping it would be and more. I can't help but think that things are just going to get even better with season two. It will be fun to see how Ash's pops and best friend fit into the story.
Season two of Ash vs. Evil Dead will premiere sometime in 2016.
