In September this year, the cast of Revenge celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the drama television series. The series' plot was inspired by Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
The cast spoke to Variety and recalled their memories related to the series. Mann also recalled how he was approached by creator Mike Kelley, saying, "Hey, we’re thinking of lots of different ways we might go with this character. Are you open to different interpretations?"
The actor said he replied to Kelley by saying he was fine with whatever he wanted to do with the character. Consequently, in the next episode after he said that, he was sleeping with Tyler to complete a mission.
