Marilyn Manson Joins Supernatural Thriller Salem

SHREVEPORT: Music icon Marilyn Manson is joining the cast of the WGN America supernatural thriller series Salem, which is in production on its third season.

Manson will portray Thomas Dinley, a barber and surgeon who is the go-to man in Salem, from a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open or sewn up. The Grammy nominee previously collaborated with Salem‘s composer Tyler Bates on the show’s opening title sequence.

Production on the original drama’s third season, produced by Fox 21 Television Studios, began yesterday in Shreveport, LA. Created and written by Brannon Braga and Adam Simon, Salem is executive produced by Braga, Simon, Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson and Prospect Park’s Jeff Kwatinetz and Josh Barry.
