GWAR front man and lead throat thing Oderus Urungus has just been confirmed to be a featured cast member on FEARnet's first original series “Holliston”. Oderus Urungus joins Twisted Sister's Dee Snider as well as stars Adam Green and Joe Lynch on the offbeat multi-camera buddy comedy series created by Green. Described as The Big Bang Theory meets Evil Dead II, the show is set in the town of Holliston, Mass., and follows the lives of Adam (Green) and Joe (Lynch), two friends chasing the dream of becoming successful horror movie filmmakers while struggling to make ends meet in their post-college jobs at a Boston cable access station where they also host a late-night movie program called The Movie Crypt. Urungus will play himself and is Adam's “imaginary” friend who happens to live in a closet and gives him advice that is extremely misguided and offensive. The six-episode series is slated to begin production in September.Quoth your lord and master:
"I am pleased beyond belief that the human race, and FEARnet, has finally recognized my acting ability and hired me as the star of Holliston," said Oderus, apparently unaware that he is playing a supporting role. "With Dee Snider on the cast, it's essential to have somebody that brings class to the proceedings...that class is me."
