Fran Kranz Joins The Dark Tower

The Dark Tower cast continues to grow as Fran Kranz (Dollhouse, The Cabin in the Woods) has joined the cast of The Dark Tower. According to THR the Whedon-verse actor "will play Pimli, the right-hand man of the Man in Black." According to the Dark Tower Wiki, Pimli Prentiss was the Wardon/unelected Mayor of Alguil Siento (also called Devar-Toi) that was over-ran by the series big bad (The Crimson King) and his henchman. It can get confusing. To sum Pimli is in charge of a town and reports to the Man in Black character played by Matthew McConaughey. He in turn reports to the bigger bad called The Crimson King (basically Stephen King's version of the Devil) who goal is to destroy all of creation. To destroy all of creation he needs to destroy the Dark Tower. The one to stop the destruction of The Dark Tower is Roland Deschain (Idris Elba).
