Having been for several years the Secret Service agent in charge of the mysterious government repository called Warehouse 13, Artie Nielsen knows only too well the dangers that certain historical artifacts pose to the world and why it is so important for his team to snag, bag, and tag them as quickly as possible.
He is just as insightful when it comes to assessing the true character of those around him. In season two of Warehouse 13, Artie was the only one who objected to reinstating former warehouse agent H.G. Wells to active duty. He was overruled and H.G. accompanied fellow agents Pete Lattimer and Myka Bering on a mission to Egypt to find the legendary lost Warehouse 2. They succeeded, and in the season two finale “Reset,” H.G. tried to use an artifact she stole from Warehouse 2 to trigger another ice age on Earth. Luckily, Myka stopped her in the nick of time. While Artie was not surprised at H.G’s betrayal, the actor who plays him, Saul Rubinek, initially had no idea what to expect with this episode...
... “As a cast we’re fortunate in that we have read-throughs of the episode that we’re going to be doing next about a week before shooting actually begins on it,” says Rubinek. “However, because we’re so busy filming, we don’t get the chance to read scripts too much in advance, so when we do, they’re always page-turners thanks to the amazing group of writers we have working on this show.
“The whole concept for us of the lost Warehouse was wonderful, and it also looked huge. It looked like we were doing a multi-million dollar movie, and you wondered, ‘How are they going to get this all done in an eight-day shooting schedule?’ Well, we also have a super visual effects [VFX] team here on Warehouse 13 along with some of the best designers on television today..."
