Who plays Andy Muschietti? IT: Welcome to Derry episode 3?
Episode 3 begins with a trip to 1908, where a young boy visits a dusty funfair accompanied by a sideshow “Human Freaks”. As he enters a hall of mirrors, we hear the tinkling of piano keys.
The best mashable stories
A man playing said piano appears with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and turns his head to bark a gruff “keep moving!” at the boy, followed by a slightly sinister laugh. This pianist is none other than Andy Muschietti himself.
It’s a brief but amusing appearance, which adds well to the creepy and jarring sequence that ends with the boy running screaming out of the tent after a one-eyed man jumps out of the shadows to scare him.
This is not Andy Muschietti’s first appearance in the computer world either. In Computer science: chapter twohe also appears as a customer in the pharmacy during a scene with Eddie Kaspbrak (Eddie Ransome).
New episodes of IT: Welcome to Derry premieres Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.
