Marilyn Manson is getting ready to take over Hollywood and he just landed a key role on another beloved show. The famous singer is set to star on third season of American Gods.

Showrunner Chic Eglee announced the amazing news in an official statement and said it’s “dope indeed” to be working with Manson because he’s been a long-time admirer of his work.

“Bringing his specific energy, wit and boundless enthusiasm for all-things-Neil Gaiman to the role of Johan, a Norse ‘berserker’ in service to Odin, his performance promises to be disturbing, original and uniquely entertaining,” said Eglee.

This won’t be Manson’s first ride on the rodeo, and he actually has a long list of acting credits behind him. The Grammy-nominated artists previously appeared on Sons of Anarchy and Salem, and American Gods isn’t the only series he’s attached to these days.

Judging by his future commitments, we’ll get to see Marilyn Manson more than we used to, since he’ll appear on several promising shows next year. He’s been cast on The New Pope and The Stand in unspecified roles.
