"Fringe" alum Seth Gabel is reaching back into his bag of creepy tricks for an upcoming arc on ABC‘s "The Rookie".
In the new season’s fifth episode, titled “Til Death” and airing Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 10/9c, the team searches for a second serial killer as Nyla struggles with the aftermath of being attacked/injected with a paralytic, as she and Angela investigated the abandoned building next to a psychiatric hospital. (Never a good idea.)
Gabel pops up midway through the episode to kick off a multiple-episode arc as a vending machine supplier and person of interest named Glasser.
We spoke with Mekia Cox about the the Nyla-heavy episode ahead, and she was quick to sing Gabel’s praises as a scene partner.
“Seth is a sweetheart, but apparently he plays these roles a lot — these kind-of-creepy types?” she noted. “I’m like, ‘Well, you’re kind of good at it, so I understand why.’”
“I really loved his approach to his character, who has a little bit of a sweet edge to him as well,” Cox added. “I like that we come into this and it’s almost flirty.”
