  • In the most seriously unserious episode of Clergy Talk yet, Sister Ash welcomes the multi-talented Alan Ursillo, the actor behind Papa Nihil in the band Ghost’s UA-cam lore videos and their record-breaking feature film “RITE HERE RITE NOW.” This is Alan's first (and perhaps last?) interview regarding his role as Nihil. Alan shares how he put his WHOLE self into the character, with total creative freedom from Ghost's mastermind, Tobias Forge. Dive into Alan's journey of balancing his Catholic faith with his role, his initial second thoughts, and his memorable fan interactions. Plus, get the inside scoop on Alan’s perspective on the future of Ghost and why he believes Tobias Forge might just be an angel. Oh, and did we mention? Alan’s not wearing any pants. Tune in for a divine mix of faith, fandom, and fun!

    I always wondered why he wanted to stay anonymous. I always thought he was maybe embarrassed and didn't wanna be associated with Ghost, but this really makes me appreciate him even more

    24:25 That makes sense. I appreciate Ghost because I’m a big fan of Rocky Horror, Phantom Of The Paradise, Queen, Bowie…anything big, 70s, and theatrical. It’s good to know that there’s a contingent that has a similar perspective.
    Honestly, the Chapters are what got me to really give Ghost a chance. Thank you, Mr. Ursillo for your stellar work selling the band to the uninitiated.

      Thanks for mentioning this film; the trailer was hilarious.
      This is a Brian De Palma film, I noted, in the Horror-Comedy genre (De Palma may very well be his own unique genre, though).
      Just to add, RHRN had an interesting scene where, amidst the Phantom of the Opera backstage decor, Sister Imperator implores Cardi to go sing. Hmm, inspired by the Phantom line "sing!" maybe? Just something I realized. RHRN was chock full of Easter Eggs.

    Great interview! Alan did a great job changing the way the Papa Nihil character emotes over time, from first admonishing Cardi for treating the Ministry as his playground (on that tricycle) to beaming with pride at his son finally getting the lesson Nihil taught him.
    Wondering who Sister Ash will land next? Maybe Ashley or Kevin? Would love to see them interviewed, too!
    I do hope Tobias plans to do more frequent Chapters after the success of Rite Here Rite Now. The Fandom is hungry for more laughs from the lore, and that would be a brilliant way to keep fans amused and entertained between tours, as opposed to Ghost just going dark for a long time until new music gets released. The warped chemistry between Nihil and Cardi would be so much fun to see more frequently.

    I watched the movie and was eagerly waiting for the Credits because I was hoping to see if they credited him. I was aware he wanted to stay anonymous, so I wasnt really expecting it... I was super excited to see that Mister Ursillo had been credited and we finally knew who he was (cause i also thought it might have been a different actor) and i have to admit I immediately googled him already on the way out of the cinema and found his youtube channel where he has like only two things up and the little short film where he also played a "Papa" giving advice to their son... and i have to admit, i did share that with tumblr.
    I'm sorry if the sudden attention is causing problems with his other business ventures or making him worried about his privacy... but i hope he gets more opportunities as an actor and whatever else he wants to do through this.

    He has a great view on art. I've been a ghost fan since I think 2016-2017 Cirice I heard I went yep I'm in. Being a Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio, KISS, Alice Cooper that 60s, 70s and 80s music I was craving. I was never into Nu Metal, Grudge. I liked Type O negative, lacuna coil, nightwish, blind guardian but as a retired haunted house actor from 98-2019, glam shock rock old school fan, Ghost was like drinking water in a desert beach. And even trying my own bands that failed.. Ghost was kinda what I wanted to do. I liked the humor, good clean singing, abba-style catchy-ness, spooky-ness.
