介绍:
After the huge success of the BAFTA award-winning drama "In the Flesh", supernatural topics such as reanimated zombie coming back to life are no longer a rarity for TV viewers.
But according to American actor Mark Pellegrino, you don't expect the undead to rise in the spooky drama "The Returned".
"People who have been long dead are coming back from the dead and in the exact condition that they left. So they're not zombies and they're not raising from the grave in the traditional sense that we've known it in the zombie genre. They're actually just coming back fully in tact and have no memory of how they dies and no awareness of what's happened since they've been gone. As far as they're concerned they're reappearing or returning at the moment that they passed."
Pellegrino is well-known for his eerie shows and characters. He played an abusive ex-con, ex-husband on Showtime's "Dexter," the fallen angel Lucifer on The CW's "Supernatural" and the mysterious, near-immortal Jacob on ABC's "Lost."
In "The Retuned," the U.S. remake of the International Emmy-winning namesake French drama, Pellegrino plays Jack Winship, whose life kind of fell apart when one of his twin daughters died four years earlier. That is until she reappeared on his doorstep.
"My daughter passed away four years previous to the beginning of where you see our family and is coming back as a 16-year-old, thinking she's been away for a few hours and is just a little late getting home, thinking she's going to get busted but she's been gone four years and in that time her sister has grown up and her parents have gone their separate ways. They're seeing other people and are very alienated from each other and her friends have more or less forgotten her and so she has to deal with the complexities of negotiating her way through these relationships that have fallen apart and finding an identity for herself and her parents have to cope with their own versions of dealing with being confronted with a miracle."
Pellegrino says the fate of these characters will be a mystery to viewers.
The 10 episodes of "The Returned" will be aired on A&E network on Mondays.
