Billy the puppet from the emSaw/em franchise riding his bicycle.
In a recent conversation with Collider’s Carly Lane, Michael Emerson, currently known for his chilling role in Evil, took a moment to reflect on his past as part of the Saw franchise — a role that continues to resonate with fans, even after all these years. Emerson's character, Zep Hindle, may have met a grisly end in the first Saw film, but his presence is still very much alive in the world of Saw, especially in the infamous bathroom where it all began.
Emerson was drawn to the original Saw because of its masterful writing and its jaw-dropping twist. "It had the best ending of a piece of film writing that I had ever seen, and that's why I did it," Emerson shared. "But it was a punishing shoot and it's a punishing experience to watch the movie, I think, but a real adventure. I was glad to survive it."
He continued, "I suppose it's natural that a big franchise like that still has a kind of holy of holies, an origin space." For Emerson, the bathroom isn’t just a set piece, it’s become a sacred space within the Saw universe, a place that holds the essence of the series and its beginnings. Which seems somewhat appropriate, given the grisly nature of the series.
As the Saw franchise continues to find new ways to terrify audiences, it’s clear that the bathroom, and Zep’s unfortunate fate within it, will always be a touchstone — a “holy of holies” for the series and its fans. Stay tuned to Collider for more.
