Interview with the Vampire — 2.04 “I Want You More Than Anything in the World”
Welcome back Vicomte de Valmont. Playboy who died for love (of a pure innocent soul…who wasn’t so innocent…sound familiar?)
Fun fact: Ben Daniels, aka Santiago in Interview with the Vampire season 2, played Vicomte de Valmont in the 2008 Broadway revival of Les Liaisons dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons), opposite Laura Linney as Marquise de Merteuil! This was Ben’s Broadway debut and he was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play. It’s been years since Ben did a Broadway show (his last was in 2012. He was recently in the West End in 2023 for the play Medea.), and I hope he’ll be back. We better be buying tickets!!
P.S. Lestat and Santiago are like foils to one another, aren’t they?
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
2x02 | Do You Know What It Means to Be Loved by Death
Welcome! To the displacement of reason. And the excretion of pathetic desires. By that I mean… Good evening. What you’re about to see… is, for you, an outrage that masks a birth and a rebirth of what is […] Instead of mere human drama, we here at Theatre Des Vampires, delve into the underbelly of the human soul, to present to you the highest form of art in the lowest of ways! Have you repressions that need airing? Oh, you’ve come to the right place. Phobias toward your next of kin? Amis, we assist in turning down the sheets! Bloodlust?! Fear of the insane?! I salute your honesty. Right after I take my boot from your arse! But seriously, mes amis, being vampires, and by nature superior to you mortals, we can replicate the level of bilge necessary to disrupt your tiny ship called human decency. In fact, we capsize it. So, if you don’t leave here tonight seeing the world upside down and liking very much what you see, and feel, then we here at Theatre Des Vampires, have failed in our jobs which is, at the heart of it, to laugh alongside your misery while you cry and scream for more.

We fans ain’t ready for what Ben Daniels will bring to life as Santiago in season 2 of Interview with the Vampire!
Santiago…can be Slaytiago, Slutiago, Cuntiago 🧛🏻♂️
P.S. Ben was actually supposed to attend the TCA Winter Press Tour for AMC together with the main cast (held yesterday, February 6; his attendance was expected as he is billed as a series regular), but due to a family emergency, he wasn’t able to fly from London to Los Angeles. However, he’ll be joining the next press junkets as the season premiere approaches! We hope all is well with his family.
