Stephen Root to Guest Star on Pushing Daisies Season 2
As reported on EW, Stephen Root, is joining Pushing Daisies Season 2 as guest star, playing the role of someone who, as Bryan Fuller stated, “has a shared history with both Ned’s dad and Chuck’s dad” and will most likely “stir up a lot of hullabaloo for everyone, particularly Aunts Lily and Vivian.”
Stephen Root is more familiar to TV fans of NewsRadio, a series that aired for four seasons in the mid-90’s. He is also a voice talent on the cartoon series, King of The Hill and American Dad.
A talented actor like him is a perfect fit for a show like Pushing Daisies as I do remember how much of a presence he is on Seinfeld and Frasier. He is perhaps one of those underrated character actors in the biz.
He will appear in a four episode story arc and it sounds like his character is bad news. Is he Chuck’s real father?
