Exclusive: Mark Pellegrino on This Week’s ‘Supernatural’
What grabbed you about the series’ take on the iconic figure Lucifer?
It’s uncliche to me. It’s not a moustache-twirling bad guy who is obviously evil. To me, he’s just a human being in touch with how people feel. To me, the notion of Satan is a very human struggle. It’s a guy who has a real beef or issue and is just trying to pursue justice. He’s been betrayed for crying out loud and wants to do something about it. That’s very human. He’s appealing, which I like, and is different from the other angels, who are kind of dicks.
Indeed, Lucifer’s been very charismatic and almost sympathetic, which means, so far, he’s been all talk. When do we finally get to see the devil inside?
Yeah, well his beef is starting to come to the surface. In the episode I am filming right now, you start to see bad things happen. I kind of do it a little innocently too. It’s just collateral damage and when I make my next appeal to Sam, some of the real feelings start to bubble out.
Supernatural: Two Sneak Peeks at Episode 10 Abandon All Hope
As if we needed a further reminder that 2009 is winding down to a close, this week marks the final first-run episode of the year for Supernatural, the oh so cheerfully entitled “Abandon All Hope”. To help ease the pain of having to wait until 2010 for a new installment, The CW has graciously provided two sneak peeks of the November 19th ep.
Here’s the synopsis: Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles), and Castiel (Misha Collins) track down the Colt and head off to find Lucifer (guest star Mark Pelligreno) to send him back to Hell. It’s a hunters’ reunion when the crew joins forces with Bobby (Jim Beaver), Ellen (guest star Samantha Ferris), and Jo (guest star Alona Tal) for what could be their last night on Earth.
See the 2nd clip, here.
Do you think they’ll succeed in sending Lucifer back to hell? Or will Lucifer kick their ass?
