This Sunday WGN America airs the season two finale of its series
Salem. Stars Seth Gabel, who plays Reverend Cotton Mather, and Tamzin Merchant, who plays witch Anne Hale, recently talked to the media about the two characters’ relationship as well as what’s to come in the season finale.
The two actors talked to SciFi Vision about the rewarding parts of working on the series. Merchant enjoys the surprises. “I think the most rewarding part for me is kind of not knowing where the story’s going next, and then finding out and being blown away by it. That, to me is extremely rewarding as an actor, because you just go on the ride with the character, and that’s pretty exciting, because you really don’t know what the writers are coming-up with next, and it’s always mind-blowing, always surprising, so that to me is very exciting.”
Gabel talked about two things he finds rewarding. “One is on set. Just what I love about the show is that everyone takes it so seriously, and everyone is doing absolutely everything they can to make the stakes, however outrageous they become, absolutely real and grounded in reality, and they’re just devoted to the scene and all of the incredible situations that we’re placed in.
