John C. Reilly Raises Holy Hell In New Jack White Video
John C. Reilly inhabits the spirit of the title character of Jack White's 'Archbishop Harold Holmes' in a new video for the song directed by Gilbert Trejo. Set in a southern church replete with a glowing neon cross, the clip finds Reilly, as Holmes, passionately channelling the Lord to a handful of congregants before the true nature of his situation is revealed. Per White's reps, Reilly told the artist he'd love to portray Holmes in a music video after hearing the song for the first time. It can be found on White's 2024 album No Name, which he released with no advanced fanfare. The clip also stars Cherry Glazer's Sami Perez, Staz and Misha Lindes and Starcrawler's Arrow de Wilde.
