The role of Pale will be played by guest artist Pruitt Taylor Vince, says Alford.

Very nice LSUS!

I did enjoy the cinematography in Constantine as a side note.

I thought his role in "monster" was one of the more intense moments in a movie full of intense and uncomfortable moments. Definitely will catch this play!
