If you’ve watched Netflix’s revival of “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” you may have noticed a cat-sized absence. Salem-everyone’s favorite talking cat in the original “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”-notably doesn’t speak in the latest series. We set out to find the man behind the anthropomorphized feline, a certain Nick Bakay. But Bakay’s snarky vocal stylings that brought Salem to life aren’t his only credit. The multitalented human has written, produced and acted in hits like “Paul Blart Mall Cop,” “The King of Queens” and “Seinfeld.”

While most people love his snarkiness/sassieness, my fav part is when he does his pathetic whimpering... Gets me every time ^_^

I do that now as an adult because of him, the majority of people think its funny and some get the reference XD

@TheDrexxus 4 года назад

The new show isn't about plot or character development or story, it's just political agendas upon political agendas. They have to go HARD into gay, trans, multi-ethic families, feminism, etc. I wanted to like it and I tried to like it, but the show has no substance at all, it's just preachy and obnoxious the way it deals with everything in a hamfisted way.
