John Wick Director Chad Stahelski Comments on Clancy Brown Casting
"I have been a fan of Clancy Brown's since I can remember," director Chad Stahelski said. "To have him be a part of this project is an honor. He will make a perfect addition to the World of John Wick!" Writing Chapter 4 is Shay Hatten and Michael Finch.

Brown will be playing Kurt Caldwell in Showtime's Dexter revival series that stars Michael C. Hall as the title character that airs on the premium cable network on November 7. The actor also completed the indie film Last Looks, co-starring Morena Baccarin, Mel Gibson, and Charlie Hunnam.
