"I had done the Christmas special [A VERY SALEM CHRISTMAS on Peacock] and the zombie thing on the Halloween episode [in 2021] and I had such a good time doing it," he recalls. "Albert [Alarr, co-executive producer] asked me if I was up for more and I was like, 'Yes, 100 percent; I'm loving it."
Berris was unaware at first what this latest visit would bring. "I'm so interested every time they call because my character is dead," he points out. "Then I started reading the script and I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, this is bonkers, but I just loved the writing of it so much. After the initial shock of, 'Oh, he's Satan's secretary, I just loved it. It's really funny; there's some great comedy in it. I think that Ron [Carlivati, head writer] and Ryan [Quan, creative consultant] and all of the writers over there just do such a great job getting the snark and the intelligence and the vindictive way that Nick can be. But it does come around on this mini-arc; there is some vulnerability there and I had a great time with it. It was a fun couple of weeks."
Berris admits he never saw a return for Nick after his alter ego's 2014 demise. "I thought maybe there was a world in which I played a different character, the other way that people would come back, but I really didn't think he'd be rising from the dead. And certainly not as a zombie or gatekeeper to purgatory, but I absolutely love it. Especially at the juncture I'm at in my life, where I'm doing a lot more writing, producing and directing stuff at the moment."
