When I came back they had my chair still for me. It really felt like I had never left. It was pretty crazy.
I had a great time. Interestingly, to make things even more old-homey, the directors of the two episodes which had been film were his old co-stars. So, I was working with her as actress and director.
She was great. Both David and Emily are great directors. Terrific directors. He may even have the chance to work with them again, because it appears that his work at Bones is not done yet. It also felt nice to slip back into the character of Zack. Of course, due to the secrecy surrounding the storyline, he cannot tell whether this will be the sweet, nice Zack of the early seasons or the evil Zack who became the apprentice of a serial killer.
He just enjoys the acting challenge. So, is that episode going to determine if Zack is the Puppeteer, the latest serial killer character that Booth and Bones and the team have been tracking? Strangely, Millegan finds, there seems to be some disagreement in the Bones fan universe as to whether they want to have Zack find redemption in the new storyline, or whether he gives in completely to the black.
Most people want to see him good, but there are the few people that are like: No! This was perfect. This was wonderful. They better not change it. I wish I could say more. Millegan also says that working on the final season of a year running show has not started feeling bittersweet yet, with everyone realizing this is the last ride.
In recent years, Millegan has moved back to New York and has been concentrating more on theater and singing. I only do it once every four years. I will be singing it. I think people are really going to enjoy it. What other kind of songs do I do? A lot of standards.
I have some guest singers. However, the close time between those two major life events was not a mere coincidence. I thought that would be exciting. One of my cabaret shows I did before; I did on my 30th birthday. I try to tie cabaret shows in with other events, to make them extra exciting. In fact, he finished the famous marathon with a time of Not bad for a guy who has only been running for a little over year, and was competing in only his second marathon. I had known people who had run the marathon and always admired them.
I admired my sister-in-law, who has run six marathons. I thought I would enter the lottery. Whether it's a sudden death, surprising resurrection, or a goodie who turns out to be a baddie, it's all good. That said, when they go wrong, they go reaaaally wrong — with some shock moments being so embarrassing even the showrunners want to pretend they didn't happen. An intricate element of the original series, the alien super soldiers were basically a cross between Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Terminator — crazy tough alien-human hybrids that infiltrated the government.
They're so significant, Mulder David Duchovny was sentenced to death for killing one. But before you signal for a UFO to swoop down and destroy us with black oil and bees or whatever, the super soldiers were actually a pretty decent twist when they first were introduced. Sadly, their mythology became so convoluted they'd been completely forgotten about by season 10's "event series".
In fact, all of the alien stuff was retconned out of existence in season 10, when it was revealed it was all a misdirect to distract Mulder from the fact the government had just been using alien technology recovered from the Roswell-era UFO crashes to wage a secret war on America. Zack Addy Eric Millegan was a fan favourite character, a likable, shy genius who delivered key insights in several cases, and had a fairly sweet crush on Dr Brennan In season three, a shocking twist revealed Addy was working with the season's big bad The Gormogon, and even killed someone for him, the lobbyist Ray Porter, confessing his crime to the team.
Zack was taken out of the main cast, with series creator Hart Hanson claiming Zack would become a recurring character to provide "certain talents we can use in a 'Hannibal Lecter' kind of way".
But it didn't work. So unlike Hannibal Lecter, Addy turned out to be completely innocent of the murder, having only helped find the lobbyist, who was actually killed by The Gormogon's former apprentice. In Season 2 of Hannibal , Bryan Fuller subverted The Silence of the Lambs ' set-up by sticking good guy Will Graham Hugh Dancy into a cell and making him the serial killer genius people come to consult with, which is a great idea on paper, but actually became super frustrating pretty quickly.
Thankfully, it only lasted six episodes Millegan: Yeah, I'm sad that we never got to go there. Millegan: You know, I didn't think about it. People on the board started saying they thought it was Sweets, the psychiatrist. But that didn't even dawn on me. And it never dawned on me that it might be one of us, either. Millegan: Not until I knew. After they told me, they told everyone else.
But it's my job to keep it a secret. And one thing that was hard was that Mike Ausiello did an interview with me at TV Guide's Sexiest Stars party , and he asked if I was leaving the show.
I said no, and I didn't say I was leaving because I wasn't allowed to. But then everybody on the message boards ran with that, saying, "Nobody's leaving the show! Millegan: No. Millegan: He's not so much a bad guy. He's more a victim of brainwashing. It's Zack's intelligence that got in the way, because Gormogon rationalized [his cause] with him. Millegan: Yeah, I think it really hit him hard.
And actually, there was a moment that was cut out of the episode of Zack saying he's sorry right after he explains how to catch Gormogon. Just an "I'm sorry.
