Rob Zombie's THE MUNSTERS Movie Adds Original Show Cast Member Butch Patrick as Tin Can Man
Director Rob Zombie’s movie adaptation of the classic TV series The Munsters has added another familiar face to its cast with Butch Patrick, who played young werewolf Eddie Munster in the original series. Patrick will play Tin Can Man in the film, a robot from the show that Eddie built for a science fair before it was sabotaged, forcing his grandpa (Al Lewis) to fix it.
Zombie announced the addition to the cast in an Instagram post, stating, “Where’s Eddie you ask? Well, I’ll tell you! My good buddy [Butch Patrick] is now in THE MUNSTERS as THE TIN CAN MAN. I am thrilled to have another original Munster in my new film. Get ready for some robot fun!”
He joins the rest of the cast, which includes Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman Munster, Sheri Moon Zombie as Lily Munster, Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa, Catherine Schell, Jorge Garcia, Sylvester McCoy, Richard Brake and Cassandra Petersen (a.k.a. Elvira), as real estate agent Barbara Carr.
Check out the post below, and keep an eye out for the movie’s release date, which is still TBA.
