A friend of mine made a Lorme, a toy that I held up to the camera. There is a plague doctor. The star of AMC's Interview With the Vampire asked as I showed him the little details. Anderson has a lot of art toys, so I thought I would share a few of my own. Hello.
A man said hello to a toy. What a charming person. As Anderson continued, I tucked Mister scratch away. He loves plague doctors and finds them frightening. There is something about a plague doctor who can help you, but can also be the portent of your death. There is a bad omen in this picture. Considering his current role, it's fitting that a creature like this would be frightening for Anderson.
We are talking about the AMC Anne Rice adaptation in which Anderson plays a black, gay, Creole bloodsucking creature of the night. He plays Lestat in the movie, as well as Bailey Bass as the child vampire, and EricBogosian as the interviewer. Anderson has to be flexible enough to play a man in his 20s, 60s, and 80s in the show's present-day scenes.
Anderson said that he was able to sit down and think about who he was at any given time. I talked to Rolin about every version of Louis. The inspiration for contemporary Louis was described by him as people like Eartha Kitt and David Bowie. There is something ethereal about these people, even though they are human.
Louis started out as a deferential businessman in the 1910s and ended up as a vampire in the present day, but in between those two points, it was enjoyable. Louis has a huge amount of time to ponder. You decide what he takes and what he doesn't. Sometimes it isn't consistent. It affects how he moves, how he stands, how he talks, how he holds himself. He goes back into a version of Louis that we first met.
Anderson has done a lot of work to get as right as possible and when Louis is vulnerable, he slips back into his Creole accent. Sometimes Louis isn't aware that it's happening. Anderson is British and he manages the Louisiana dialect with more grace than he has been given credit for. One of my favorite things about playing Louis is being able to find small moments to do that.
The love/hate relationship between Louis and Lestat is shown in the sixth episode. For the past six years, Lestat has been apologizing to Louis. Louis broke and went to confront Lestat after he sent over a record with a single song on it. The act that gets them back together is this one. Anderson chuckled and said that Louis had to swim to tell Lestat that he messed up. From Louis' perspective, there is something about that pettiness. There is something about Lestat that makes him different from other people. Lestat gets to come back, but it comes at a price.
In the end of the sixth episode, we see a young Daniel Molloy enter a gay bar, and head straight to the bartender and into the sights of Louis du Pointe de Lac. We were going to see a younger version of Daniel at San Diego Comic-Con, and I was looking forward to this scene. Anderson starts to laugh. He chuckled and said that he was amazed. Eric is going to explode. Eric will give you an answer to your question. The person he is is just that.
There is a lot of tension between these two characters. Anderson said that the seduction that took place in the first episode is over. The fights that occur in these scenes are not as aggressive. The romantic manipulation is starting to wear off. He didn't think he'd be so affected by talking about this point in his life
The first interview ended here. In the episode, Louis is talking about how Lestat caughtClaudia when she tried to escape from New Orleans. Louis is hurt by the fact that the interview is over. He made it about himself instead of focusing on the moment.
Anderson said there is still a genuine relationship between Louis and Daniel. It is a moment of forgiveness for Daniel when Louis gives him immortality. Anderson said that it was from Louis' point of view that he reached out and said he respected you. Daniel can handle it now that he has lived through trauma. Anderson is careful to present his view of Louis and Daniel. These two are the main villains of the series. Lestat and Louis don't tear at each other as much as they would like. There are two people present. They are immediately available. They are fighting over something.
The fan response to this series has been amazing. I want to know if he is following the reception on the internet. He said a little bit. I don't find social media easy to use.
I told him that everyone is enjoying it. People joke that he should go door to door during the season to promote his nomination. I was asked to tell people that they loved Anderson and that he was doing a great job. He laughed and I think he didn't believe me. He said that was all he needed.
Jacob Anderson, you did a good job. We will still be campaigning for that nomination.
Interview With the Vampire's season one finale will air on AMC this Sunday. The episodes are on AMC+.
