David Boreanaz has been speaking to Zap2it about playing the villain in The Crow: Wicked Prayer, the fourth film in the series.

In the film Boreanaz plays Luc Crash, the leader of a satanic biker gang who wants to become an immortal demon (so, no typecasting there). To achieve his ambition he murders Jimmy Cuervo (Edward Furlong) and his girlfriend, Lily (Emmanuelle Chriqui).

"I was a bad guy," Boreanaz told the site. "He was the leader of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, an ex-con. It was great. I had a lot of fun. It was a hard-paced film. We shot in 23 days. It was not an easy shoot."

David explained why he decided to take the part: "He was more than a villain," Boreanaz said. "I liked the dialogue. I liked the setting. I liked the script. I just really liked the role. It was juicy. I like being bad. He's two different guys. He's an ex-con that becomes the Antichrist, so you've got two different roles that you're playing."

The Crow: Wicked Prayer is scheduled for release in 2004.
