It's a very small role in the book but an important one for the return of Pennywise.
Glad they have cast Adrian Mellon. His scenes were among the most disturbing in the book.
Teach Grant and Jess Weixler are set to join New Lines It: Chapter Two, sources tell Variety.
Grant will play bully Henry Bowers, who was portrayed by Nicholas Hamilton in the first movie, and Weixler will play Bills wife.
Grant is a Canadian actor whose list of credits includes heavily recurring arcs in USAs Damnation and, most recently, Netflixs highest-budgeted series, Altered Carbon.
Awesome that Henry Bowers and Audra have been cast. They couldn't leave Henry out, he's really important in the adult half of the book.
I wonder if they'll leave in the scene where Pennywise taunts Audra in her hotel room, for some reason that part of the book always really freaks me out. Imagine being in a strange place (and not fully understanding why you're there) and being tormented by weird balloons and creepy voices, lights going on and off and doors opening and closing... And then when she runs out and sees the fingers coming under the door from the other side... *shudder*

Bowers had to survive. He has a very important role in the adults part of the story.
James McAvoy in Toronto. No real news, he just shaved his beard.

So that's our cast.
I imagine we'll see a flashback of Bowers surviving the fall and getting arrested since I think the murders were pinned on him in the book.
There was actually a deleted scene from the test screenings in which Bowers washed out and was picked up by police. Maybe they'll use it for Part 2 or else it will be in the director's cut of Part 1
