Jillian Bell has joined the cast of ‘Bill & Ted Face the Music’. She will play Dr. Taylor Wood, the families’ couples therapist. Hmmm, sounds like things aren’t so “excellent” in the grown-up lives of the two titular metalheads.
Bell starred in this year’s Sundance hit ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’, and previously appeared in ’22 Jump Street’, ‘Goosebumps’, ‘The Night Before’, ‘Office Christmas Party’, ‘Fist Fight’, and ‘Rough Night’, and on TV shows such as ‘Eastbound and Down’ and ‘Workaholics’. She also works extensively as a voice actor, including in the upcoming series ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ and ‘Bless the Harts’.
