Yahoo Lifestyle The Rookie Star Teases Fringe Favorite Seth Gabel’s ‘Creepy’ Arc — See Photo
Seth Gabel is reaching back into his bag of creepy tricks for an upcoming arc on ABC’s The Rookie.
In the new season’s fifth episode, titled “Til Death” and airing Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 10/9c, the team searches for a second serial killer as Nyla struggles with the aftermath of being attacked/injected with a paralytic, as she and Angela investigated the abandoned building next to a psychiatric hospital. (Never a good idea.)

Gabel pops up midway through the episode to kick off a multiple-episode arc as a vending machine supplier and person of interest named Glasser.
TVLine spoke with series star Mekia Cox about the the Nyla-heavy episode ahead, and she was quick to sing Gabel’s praises as a scene partner.
“Seth is a sweetheart, but apparently he plays these roles a lot — these kind-of-creepy types?” she noted. “I’m like, ‘Well, you’re kind of good at it, so I understand why.’
“I really loved his approach to his character, who has a little bit of a sweet edge to him as well,” Cox added. “I like that we come into this and it’s almost flirty.”
Almost being the operative word.
In addition to his run as Fringe‘s Lincoln Lees, Gabel’s TV credits include Salem, Dirty Sexy Money, Arrow (where he was plenty creepy) and Big Sky.
Elsewhere in next week’s episode of The Rookie, Lucy’s relationship with Seth takes a turn, and Bailey goes to great lengths to cope with her fear of ex-husband Jason Wyler.
