Check It Out – Patton Oswalt Lands on Caprica Tonight

First Fox’s Dollhouse and now Caprica; unrepentant nerd and incomparable comic genius Patton Oswalt seems to be getting a kick out of using his Hollywood credibility to land roles in the best sort of geek fare. Tonight marks his first appearance on SyFy’s Battlestar Galactica spin-off, which I for one am eagerly anticipating. Those of you who only know Oswalt as the voice of Remy the rat, and fail to understand my enthusiasm, I suggest you check out the uncut bootleg version of his first record “222,” and then move right along into the follow-ups, “Werewolves & Lollipops,” and “My Weakness is Strong”. If you like dick jokes juxtaposed with Dr. Who references, you won’t be disappointed.

His most noteworthy accomplishments are as a song-writer, having co-written and performed on nearly a dozen records. He also watches entirely too much television, and is very glad for an opportunity to justify doing so. Michael is also an acting editor at In Genre.
