The filmmaker known as "The Pope of Filth" appears in one scene in tonight's episode. “I play a pornographer so I am definitely typecast,” Waters tells Indiewire. “But I love doing these shows that people don’t expect me to do. I was on The Blacklist, I did My Name Is Earl. I always say yes, especially to big hit shows that I know people will love and don’t expect to see me in.”
