Q&A with Tom Ellis of LUCIFER. Moderated by Matt Mitovich, TVLine.
The devil is fired up...
Based upon the characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg for Vertigo, from DC Entertainment, the story of the original fallen angel continues, with the charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome Lord of Hell, LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR (Tom Ellis) helping LAPD detective CHLOE DECKER (Lauren German) take down criminals.
Lucifer has a way of manipulating people into confessing their deepest, darkest secrets, which helps Chloe deliver justice. The romantic spark that has gradually ignited between the two seems to be tolerated by nearly everyone around them, including Lucifer’s best friend, MAZIKEEN aka MAZE (Lesley-Ann Brandt), a fierce demon in the form of a beautiful young woman; his brother, AMENADIEL (DB Woodside); his mother, CHARLOTTE (Tricia Helfer); and even Chloe’s estranged husband, DAN (Kevin Alejandro), who is also an LAPD detective. Perhaps the only one who is genuinely happy with this budding romance is Chloe and Dan’s daughter, TRIXIE (Scarlett Estevez), a precociously intelligent 9-year-old, who seems to get Lucifer’s sense of humor.
As Season Two comes to a close, Lucifer, Charlotte and Amenadiel all want to get back to Heaven, for their own reasons. But Lucifer has confided in therapist, DR. LINDA MARTIN (Rachael Harris) a secret endgame that should take care of his godly family for good.
That is, if he can ever get back to Heaven.
