Pat Healy is headed to TNT. Deadline reports the actor has been cast in the network’s upcoming drama pilot Monsters of God.

From Rod Lurie, the historical drama is set in post-Civil War Texas and follows Colonel “Terrible” Bill Lancaster’s (Garret Dillahunt) savage campaign against the Comanche.

From Deadline:

Healy will play Sergeant Major Wit Reynolds, a barbarous and power hungry U.S. Army NCO who works directly with Colonel Lancaster and is one of the few at Fort Thayer to agree with his desire to exterminate the Comanche tribe. Ruthless in his own way, Reynolds makes his power known, even standing up to the Colonel when Lancaster steps out of bounds. He has a taste for alcohol and women, and no time for underlings. He has spent his entire career working for Lancaster.”
