Shock rocker Marilyn Manson will guest star in WGN America's "Salem," a show based on the 17th century Salem witch trials.

Shock rocker Marilyn Manson will add another acting credit to his resume as he gears up to guest star in the WGN America supernatural drama "Salem," Forbes reported. The musician will display his acting chops as he portrays a new character for the upcoming third season of the show based on the 17th century's witch trials in Salem, Mass. However, "The Beautiful People" singer isn't going to be casting spells in his new role.

Manson, 47, will be playing the role of barber surgeon Thomas Dinley, who "is the go-to man in Salem, from a shave and a haircut to being leeched, bled, sliced open or sewn up," the network announced in a press release.
