John C. Reilly Stars in Jack White’s Hit ‘Archbishop Harold Holmes’ Video

John C. Reilly stars as the electrified preacher Archbishop Harold Holmes in the new music video for Jack White's 2024 track from the album No Name, a song that has gained significant traction on US alternative radio. The video, directed by Gilbert Trejo and filmed in a Los Angeles church, was inspired by Reilly's passion for the song and features striking visuals of Reilly's character emitting blue lightning from his hands during a surreal, fire-and-brimstone sermon. Reilly and White share a longstanding friendship rooted in their Midwestern and Irish Catholic backgrounds, with Reilly having previously released music on White's Third Man Records and recently launching his own album under the alter ego Mister Romantic. White granted Reilly and Trejo full creative freedom for the video, which blends humor, surrealism, and a spiritual aesthetic, impressing White to the extent that he offered no notes on the final cut. The collaboration highlights the mutual admiration and artistic synergy between the actor-musician duo, with Reilly's concept and performance elevating the song's narrative and visual impact. Jack White continues to promote No Name while preparing for his upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction as part of The White Stripes.
