On Dollhouse, Enver Gjokaj was a standout as Victor, one of the many dolls working (or enslaved?) alongside Echo (Eliza Dushku). Gjokaj quickly proved to be amazingly versatile, and deftly handled any accent, mannerism or dramatically different character the show threw at him – including a couple of very notable times when he was called on to play other characters on the series.
With Dollhouse over, Gjokaj has a new project – an original comedy webseries called Previously on Point Dume (check out the first episode below).
On the heels of having just filmed a guest appearance on Lie to Me, Gjokaj spoke to me about Previously on Point Dume, how the webseries came together, his thoughts on the end of Dollhouse and more.

Episode 1 is now online and you can watch it at previouslyonpointdume.com. I’ll try to have caps up within the next couple of days. Happy viewing!
Enver Gjokaj played Victor (and a whole bunch of other characters) on Joss Whedon’s much-missed show Dollhouse. Now he’s following in Whedon’s footsteps, launching a new webseries called Previously On Point Dume. He told us it’s “Twin Peaks meets Clue.”
Previously On Point Dume’s first brief video taste will go online on Monday, via FunnyOrDie, but we got a sneak peek at it, and a chance to talk to one of our favorite Dollhouse stars. Point Dume is a made-up soap opera about a community full of tawdry secrets, in which strange supernatural events are happening and the dead sometimes rise again. It’s hilarious and tongue in cheek, with just the right amount of campiness and silliness — it did remind me a lot of Clue, actually. Here’s the official synopsis:

Enver will be producing as well as starring as Bron the Landscapist in the production, which we can now confirm will be an exclusive for http://www.funnyordie.com/.
We’ve seen some of it and it’s quirky and fun. We will update with the actual live link for public consumption when it becomes available, but wanted to get the word out there for the man who was one of our favorite reasons to tune in to Dollhouse every week.
“Something is hiding in the wealthy beach enclave of Point Dume. A dark secret so so secretive it could take at least five seasons to reveal. When big city-boy Lazlo Wood returns home for his father’s funeral, his nosy questions threaten to dig up more than just a corpse. What exactly is his step-mother Ginabeth hiding in the pantry? What exactly is Professor Pyle injecting local children with? And when exactly will Bron the Landscapist ever wear a shirt? These and other mysteries promise to almost never be explained in this new recap show for the greatest nighttime soap opera never seen, Point Dume.”
