"Tim Minchin has said that he is &amp;quot;very excited&amp;quot; about his upcoming guest appearance in Californication.  The comedian will feature in the Showtime series as rock star Atticus Fetch, who works with Hank Moody (David Duchovny) on a rock musical while &amp;quot;doing a lot of cocaine&amp;quot;.  Speaking to Digital Spy at the We Will Rock You 10th anniversary performance in London, Minchin said that he was grateful to make such a &amp;quot;significant&amp;quot; return to acting. &amp;quot;I was an actor back in the old days before I found comedy,&amp;quot; he revealed. &amp;quot;And I&amp;#039;ve been looking for an opportunity to get back into acting but I didn&amp;#039;t think it would be quite this significant, so I&amp;#039;m very excited.&amp;quot;   Minchin also admitted that he &amp;quot;didn&amp;#039;t know anything about&amp;quot; Californication before landing the role, but has since become a fan. 24 actress Sarah Wynter will portray the wife of Minchin&amp;#039;s character.  In addition to his Californication role, the Australian comedian will play Judas in Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber&amp;#039;s revival of Jesus Christ Superstar.  Spice Girl Melanie C (Mary Magdalene) and Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles (King Herod) are also appearing in the production, while the role of Jesus will go to the winner of upcoming ITV contest Superstar.
