Ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr will make an appearance on the next season of "Portlandia" , Vulture reports. According to Fred Armisen , the "Saturday Night Live" cast member who created the IFC comedy show with Carrie Brownstein , Marr will play a non-musical role that is a combination of his own identity and that of another character. "It's a question mark," Armisen said. "It's very much you get to decide who he is."
