Keck’s Exclusives: Bryan Batt Back to Mad Men?

This is great news!  Sal, the gay character on “Mad Men” appears to be coming back to the show.   I’ve missed him and I know many other fans have also…

By now I’ve learned that getting the super secretive Mad Men cast to confirm anything is impossible. Even so, I’m feeling fairly confidant that before long we’ll be seeing Bryan Batt back in ’60s-era NYC as artistic director Salvatore Romano on the Emmy-winning AMC drama. Why am I feeling so positive? Well, in the past, every time I’d run in to Bryan and ask for an update on his status, he’d tell me quite sullenly that he’s heard nada from anyone. Basically, he was getting on with his life. But at the Emmy Awards, Bryan was back with his cast and just seemed tickled — as if he knew something we didn’t.

“A few months ago I got a call from the god of Mad Men [series creator Matthew Weiner],” Bryan told me. So what did Weiner say? “He told me Sal is not dead.” That’s all Bryan would say on the subject (which makes it sound as if the much-missed actor has been brought back under the cone of silence).
