Patton Oswalt to star in Caprica

Recommended Posts

Fan-turned-comedian Patton Oswalt is living the dream: He's joining the cast of Caprica as a Jon Stewart-esque late night host who puts Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) and his wife Amanda (Paula Malcomson) under the lens. Oswalt is taking on the role of Baxter Sarno, a comic in the city of Caprica who also hosts his own, very popular talk show.

We read a few pages from the upcoming Caprica script scripts, which included Baxter taking a few pot shots at Daniel's expense:

Meanwhile, Daniel Graystone is becoming a laughing stock in the media. Baxter Sarno, a sort of Jon Stewart-type comedy talk show host, makes jokes in his monologue about how Graystone is changing the name of his autobiography from The Man Who Saw The Future to Oops, I Didn't See That Coming. Graystone decides to book himself onto the Baxter Sarno show ASAP, to try and save himself.

I'm not familar with this comedian, but his addition to the cast sounds pretty interesting.

HUGE Patton fan right here. He is hilarious as Spence on the King of Queens. If you haven't seen him on the show, watch it the next time you get the chance. He's great
