The IWTV actors speaking about how they prepared for the role:
Sam Reid: singing lessons, voice lessons, French lessons, I basically did a PhD in Lestat.
Jacob Anderson: I’m so naturally good with languages that a actual linguistics professor says I have the best NOLA accent they’ve ever heard. Also I helped AMC save money by randomly knowing how to tap dance well enough that they didn’t need a stunt double.
Bailey Bass: I am inspired by all the female rage of my ancestors.
Delainey Hayles: I am inspired by all the female range of my ancestors and also all their lesbianism.
Eric Bogosian: am I actually Daniel Molloy the vampire? Difficult to tell.
Luke Brandon Field: it’s not that hard, just be born the living clone of another actor in his youth, and then act like the horniest monsterfucking twink you’ve ever met.
Assad Zaman: I go into my dressing room, get possessed by Armand for the scene, and then go back to wearing suspenders.
