Exclusive Harper's Island Interview with Richard Burgi
Another of our one-of-a-kind Harper's Island victim interviews.

SPOILERS ABOUND!
Another one bites the dust on Harper's Island! If you missed last week's episode, it was a biggie: Mr. Wellington, the father of the bride, died at the very end, during a rehearsal for the wedding (see his death scene, posted in streaming video, below). Prior to that, he and his daughter were out hiking in the woods, where they were victims of a brutal dog attack. Wellington had no choice but to kill the dog in self-defense, but its mysterious, disfigured owner got away.
Also in the course of the episode, some of the hidden, rotting remains of previous victims were discovered by the Sheriff and his deputies. Things are definitely ramping up… but, unfortunately, next week's episode has been preempted, so you will have to wait until Saturday, May 23, to find out who is next on that evil checklist.
Here is Horror.com's exclusive interview with Richard Burgi, the elegant actor who played Wellington, and whose television credits include series regular roles on Desperate Housewives, Point Pleasant and The Sentinel. His guest star credits include Nip/Tuck and Reaper. Feature film credits include the new film Friday the 13th, and Hostel: Part II. [Click on his image to enlarge it.]
1) I watched Desperate Housewives the week before you were offed on Harper's Island and there you were, back in full force as Karl Mayer. I guess that should have given me my first clue you'd be the next Harper's Island victim… Should I return my Sherlock Holmes decoder ring forthwith?
It just happened as a matter of coincidence but it is possible that the state department could use a good detective like you.
2) Shortly before his demise, Mr. Wellington killed a canine; so is that karma, or dogma?
It was dinner.
3) The way Wellington dies is, well, electrical. So it's only fitting you should be able to tell your favorite "screw in a light-bulb" joke. The floor is yours:
How many blonds does it take to screw in a light-bulb? Two: One to hold the light-bulb and one to spin the chair.
4) Now that the father of the bride is dead meat, does that mean Beef Wellington is off the wedding menu? (And what would be the best dish to be served, in his memory?)
German Shepherd’s pie as an appetizer and skewers of Beef Wellington as the main course.
5) What's the most off-the-wall thing to be bequeathed in Mr. Wellington's considerable Will, who's the recipient, and why?
My granddaughter will receive my extensive collection of wicker, because the wood would make a nice pyre for her demise.
