OlderThe Originals' Charles Michael Davis Could Be Playing Piano More on Final Season of the Show
Many fans of The Originals know this, but Charles Michael Davis is an insanely amazing piano player.
Over the weekend, showrunner Julie Plec revealed to a fan who asked that his character, Marcel, just hasn’t had a good piano moment on the show in a while for good reason.
“Funny thing about Charles, he started taking lessons in Season 1 and I thought he was terrible!” she admitted. “So it never occurred to me to write in any piano scenes.”
But we think he changed her mind during their last Comic-Con: “He sat down in the hotel lobby and played and he was great. The lessons took!”
Writer Carina Adly MacKenzie also admits that she loves to hear Charles play too and has the perfect idea on how they can write it in.
“When I have downtime on set I always go sit in Charles’ dressing room. He plays piano, I sit on the couch, we don’t talk. I leave with all of my anxiety cured,” she tweeted. “He’s a magician. Marcel can play – Elijah taught him – we’ve just never seen it.”
Here’s hoping we see Charles play on the final season!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Funny thing about Charles, he started taking lessons in Season 1 and I thought he was terrible! So it never occurred to me to write in any piano scenes. But this year at comic-con he sat down in the hotel lobby and played and he was great. The lessons took!
