#Salem’s Lot Adds Beloved Character Actor Bill Camp, Other People Who Aren’t Bill Camp

Deadline says that Makenzie Leigh (“The Assistant,” “Billy Lynn’s Halftime Walk,” and “Gotham”) has been cast as Susan Norton, a recent college graduate who falls head over heels for this tormented writer at precisely the wrong time. I’m sure you’ll agree that the time for romance isn’t when vampires are running amok. 

Spencer Treat Clark (“Unbreakable,” “Glass,” and “Gladiator”) will play Mike Ryerson, a bit of a dim-witted local who is one of the first to have a run-in with a pointy-fanged monster. Then there’s the great Bill Camp (“The Queen’s Gambit” and “The Night Of”) who will be taking the mentor role of Matt Burke. He’s an English teacher in the small town and is the closest confidant of Ben Mears as the real horror starts.

This isn’t the first time Camp has gotten to play in a Stephen King sandbox. He was recently in HBO’s “The Outsider,” as well.
