Daltrey Sings Witchblade Praise
Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the legendary rock group The Who and a veteran genre actor, told SCI FI Wire that he
enjoyed his upcoming guest stint on TNT's original series Witchblade. Daltrey will play Father Del Toro, "a priest with
a twist in his tail,"Daltrey said in an interview, referring to the fact that the character harbors a dark secret.
The episode involves the Vatican's alleged alliance with the Nazis during World War II, said Daltrey, whose genre
credits include Tales from the Crypt, Sliders, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and a recurring role
on Highlander. "I can't say much because I don't want to give it all away, but it was good fun,"he said. "It was good
to play a priest with charm."
Besides Witchblade, Daltrey is busy with other genre projects, including the film thriller .com for Murder with
Nastassja Kinski and a segment of VH-1's music-based horror anthology series Strange Frequency. He added that
he'd love to return to Witchblade if the series returns for a second season.
"The character could be reprised,"Daltrey said. "He doesn't get killed off. I'd be interested in doing it again. I enjoyed
the job. They're great people to work with, and [star] Yancy Butler was fantastic. Toronto [where Witchblade films] in
the winter is not much fun. I love Toronto. It's a great place, but they can have their winters. Apart from that, I'd do it
again."
