Written By Unknown on Rabu, 10 April 2013 | 23.16

Actress Annie Parisse stopped by the New York Post's studio to talk about her hit Fox television show,"The Following," with Name Check host Michael Ridel.

Parisse, who plays a FBI specialist, said that her show focuses on a cult and explained the fascination with controversial groups throughout history.

TRANSCRIPT:

Michael Riedel: Welcome to "Name Check." I'm Michael Riedel of the New York Post. I am joined by a beautiful and very, very talented actress, Annie Parisse, is how you say it, I believe.

Annie Parisse: Yeah.

Michael: But in the old country, in Italy, where you're from it would be...?

Annie: [Italian accent] Parisse.

Michael: Parisse.

She is now appearing as FBI Specialist Debra Parker in "The Following," on the Fox channel with Kevin Bacon. It airs on Monday. But I know her from "Clybourne Park," which was a terrific play that won the Tony award last year.

She jumps back and forth between the small screen, the stage, and the big screen.

Annie: Yes.

Michael: Welcome to "Name Check," my dear.

Annie: Thank you so much.

Michael: "The Following," is this one of these murky, strange, unsettling kinds of things where we never really know what's going on in the plot?

Annie: You know what? Yes and no. On the one hand, it is certainly murky and strange. It is certainly...It's a horror show.

I think what it is, more than anything else, is a gothic romance. It's very...

Michael: Daphne du Maurier type of thing?

Annie: Yeah. Edgar Allan Poe is...There's a lot of...It's very psychological.

Michael: Supernatural kind of things?

Annie: It's very supernatural. It's very...It really gets into what are our darker impulses and how do they take over?

Michael: Like hearts thumping under the floorboards and cats on people's heads...

Annie: People buried in the walls.

Michael: "The Cask of Amontillado." I love that one. That's good.

Annie: Exactly.

Michael: You're an FBI Specialist. What does that mean, exactly? What do you specialize in?

Annie: I specialize in cults on the show and alternative religion as the FBI actually calls it. Because, as I found out when I started the job, "cult" is one of the most hotly debated words in the English language. The definition of it because, obviously, it is dealing with religion and people feel very strongly on both sides of the fence.

It's sort of a thing...I've found in my research it was like...It's like one man's cult is another man's religion and nobody wants you to refer to them as a cult.
