Owen Wilson as Father Kent:

Despite his positive, optimistic outlook on life and his ecumenical garb, Father Kent’s hipster demeanor and odd comments seem out of place for a clergyman. Wilson describes his character as “definitely not your typical priest. You don’t see a lot of priests running around with a hatchet. He has a very casual approach to matters of faith and specializes in exorcisms. He’s kind of a trailblazer in the field, and the skill set that he off ers is unique. I don’t know if there’s another priest like him in Louisiana.”

Haunted Mansion. Harriet is unaware of what she’s in for when she visits the Mansion, and she makes a quick exit after gleaning a bit of the dark energy of the ghost realm. But she returns and agrees to help, if only to relieve
herself of the ghost attached to her from her initial visit.
