Matt Davis talked with Wetpaint about his new show coming soon called Cult.
Check out what he has to say about the show here.
Below is an excerpt:
“It’s not supernatural, which is great. It’s purely psychological,” Davis tells Wetpaint Entertainment. As investigative journalist Jeff Sefton, Davis will head to the set of a hit show called Cult in an attempt to find his missing brother, Nate. Jeff isn’t all that similar to Alaric, Davis tells us.“He’s a journalist; he’s tonally very different than Alaric. The burden is very different. The purpose is very different, so it will be fun to facilitate a different role than Alaric,” he says.

“There couldn’t have been a better way to make this character go out,” Matt told me at this morning’s CW Upfront in NYC. “I loved it so much on multiple levels. Not only how I said goodbye as a character but to the co-workers who became friends. It was nice for Alaric to break out and show a villainous side to him. I’m so happy with it.”

Here is an excerpt:
On The Vampire Diaries you play a history teacher. Are you a history buff in real life?
I’m an alternative history buff more than anything else. I have a passion for conspiracy theories, alternative histories, and different points of view that you don’t necessarily get exposed to in public schools.
Can you give us an example?
Lets say for instance that I were to tell you there was a top secret space program that the government has been covering up for 80 years. And that our whole history as we’ve been taught it in public school is not an accurate portrayal of what the government knows is going on in terms of exo-politics. That would be one case. Another case is — I don’t believe that evolution and intelligent design are the only 2 plausible explanations as to how we’ve come to evolve and be as we are. I think that’s ludicrous. The historical conversation, spiritual conversation, and social conversation have become boring and I do everything in my power to find alternative stories and get that out as much as I can.
Thanks Sandy!
