Glenn Danzig had a discussion with Rollingstone.com about his more comedic side, which is reflected in his upcoming appearance on ‘Portlandia‘, which will air Thursday, February 11th. In addition to sharing his preferred style of comedy and comedians, he also spoke more of why he decided to take the role on the show:
“I’m a big Fred Armisen fan. I love also what he and Carrie do on Portlandia. They sent me the script one evening after I had just gotten off tour. It was kind of very, like, quick. They wanted an answer really quick because they had tried to get in touch with me but couldn’t. They had already hired somebody else [laughs]. They were like, “If you want to do this, you have to come up here tonight.” So I read the script and it was just too funny! I had to do it. There’s one line in it that was so funny, I said, “I got to do this.” It’s hilarious.”
Danzig appears on the show as ‘Radu’—a Romanian beach denizen offering beach fashion tips to the series stars, who in this instance are goth. For a clip of that, head here.
