Andre Royo will soon find himself among the chorus of voices in Ron Perlman’s head. Fondly remembered as The Wire‘s Bubbles, Royo has been cast in Amazon’s hour-long drama pilot Hand of God, TVLine has learned exclusively.

The project, from Burn Notice Executive Producer Ben Watkins, centers on the powerful Judge Harris Pernell (Perlman), a hard-living, law-bending married man with a high-end call girl on the side who has a religious awakening and starts hearing voices through his ventilator-bound son that could be God speaking to him.
Royo will play the series-regular role of Bobo, the local mayor and Pernell’s best friend.
