Richard E Grant has joined the cast of Channel 4 drama The Fear.
The Withnail & I actor will star opposite Peter Mullan in the upcoming crime drama.
Mullan (Tyrannosaur, War Horse) will play an ex-crime boss from Brighton in the four-part series. His character Richie Becket's business, run by his two sons, has to deal with a rival gang of Albanians.
Grant will play a plastic surgeon named Seb, whose seedy past gets him involved with the crime boss.
Richie Becket's sons will be played by EastEnders star Paul Nicholls and Great Expectations actor Harry Lloyd.
Wallander's Richard Cottan has written the four hour-long episodes.
Filming has started in Brighton, while the series is expected to air as part of Channel 4's winter lineup.
