I was completely unprepared for what I saw, it was so incredibly clever and compelling.

It had all the elements of a horror movie and yet, it combined the magnificent with the mundane.

I had to stop it multiple times to really absorb what we had just seen.

It’s one of my favorite movies ever."

The whole cast is one of the best ensembles in television history.

But I thought I would check out the script and see what they had in mind.

When I read I was going to play a vampire, I just about shot out of my chair.

What a great honor!"

“Each line he said was more obscene and profane than the next.

Mark Hamill the actor found that hilarious but my character does not.

I had to work really hard to try and stay in character the best I could.”

An idea that Hamill is totally into.

“But who knows?

Never say never.”
