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. Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Stahelski are producers, with Reeves and Louise Rosner are executive producers. Production is already underway in France, Germany, and Japan. 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. Brown's built a prolific career not only across live-action but also voice-over work, becoming a major presence on some high-profile animated projects with Nickelodeon's Spongebob Squarepants, FOX's American Dad!, Amazon's Invincible, and the DC Animated Universe.
