TV Fanatic bought the prospect to speak with the actor about enjoying a vampire, the vibe on the set, and extra.

Scroll down for the complete interview.

What attracted you to Let the Proper One In?

I feel primarily what attracted me to the present was how actual it felt.

I’ve accomplished some sci-fi stuff right here and there and a few fiction right here and there, however the best way this story actually takes that fiction however places it into such an actual state of the world, I adore it. It is phenomenal writing.

Earlier within the season, we see Peter’s response to his father’s demise. Do you assume he was upset about his demise, or was he placing on a entrance to appease Claire?

It is a mixture of each. I like that query. I feel that is a very good one as a result of I imply, clearly, the one cause that Peter’s alive within the first place is due to his father, so it is actually onerous to say that his dad did nothing for him and that his dad was by no means there for him as a result of his dad positively did not do the very best job that he may have.

However he was there for Peter. And so I positively assume that a part of the happiness that Peter feels there may be to positively, it is positively there for Claire just a little.

Claire is successfully Peter’s caregiver now, and he or she’s on a mission to assist ease his ache signs. What are you able to inform me about their brother-sister relationship?

I like their relationship as a result of, identical to I mentioned, the story is so human and actual, you actually get to see how they ebb and movement as individuals, not simply as characters.

I actually view them as their very own individuals, and it’s totally fascinating as a result of they do not at all times agree on every little thing shifting ahead, and so it’s totally fascinating to see a workforce disagree.

I’ve to ask, did the present use inexperienced display or make-up for Peter’s burns, and if it is the latter, what was that course of like?

That was all on me. That was my first time doing prosthetics. I used to be most likely within the chair for about three hours after we began doing it. It was a loopy expertise.

The sequence is darkish, which is comprehensible given the subject material. What was the vibe like on the set?

There may be a lot darkish all through the story, however there’s additionally a lot mild. So all through filming, relying on what scene was occurring that day or what you had been doing, it was very fascinating as a result of typically every particular person would simply go off onto their very own and sort of sit on this place, able to do their scene, and you may sort of really feel this weight over your entire set, which was beautiful as a result of it sort of helped you get into character and into that place you wanted to be.

However then, when there was that mild, as quickly as they’d yell, “lower,” all people was simply hanging out, going to get just a little snack, speaking about our traces. 

The people who I’ve been in a position to work alongside are completely superb, and we actually did simply sort of fall proper into place, I really feel like, which was very enjoyable.

We have now a number of vampire dramas premiering on the one time. What would you say units Let the Proper One In other than different vampire reveals?

One of many large issues that actually units it aside is that it is not based mostly on the romantic love of a boy and a woman, however it’s really based mostly round household and that unconditional love.

Like a mom to son or father to daughter, or brother to sister, and so I like that as an alternative of taking this stuff of like, “oh, I like them, I like this,” it begins to ask these fascinating ethical questions of clearly you could have your morals of who you might be as a human being and what you stand for, however then you definitely even have loyalty to your loved ones.

So it is like, are you keen to sacrifice your morals to assist a member of the family, which I like.

Are you engaged on every other tasks in the intervening time?

I’ve a movie that’s presupposed to be popping out quickly, however that is already accomplished and completed. It is referred to as Aliens Kidnapped My Dad and mom, and Now I Really feel Sort of Left Out. It is just a little eighties.

It is just a little funky, however it’s very family-friendly. I am excited for that one to come back out.

Let The Proper One In airs Sundays on Showtime.
