I respect his preference but that long hair suits him quite well.

[@jordanparker657]

It shows his absolute dedication to the character because originally Rolin would have done Lestat with short hair but Sam insisted Lestat has long hair. So that's why he used hair pieces until his hair grew.😊

37:40 I love how Sam immediately shuts down any speculation that would lead to victim-blaming on Louis.

[@HARyan-kf6dv]

Since the first season, I always thought the relationship between Lestat and Claudia was impacted by Lestat’s grief over Nicki, particularly in the harshness he shows her. I think at times, he thought he was building her up by breaking her down. I’m glad to see that particular idea had some truth to it.

[@LeshenWren]

That is brilliantly put!!! Every time he was being shitty to her, I was like, “he’s just trying to show her the real world but he’s being the absolute worst fucking parent of all time” lol. As if by showing her all of that will make her stronger -- mentally and emotionally --than Nikki, and stay alive longer and be as happy as she can be (under her circumstances).

[@HARyan-kf6dv]

Exactly. I think it kind of all plays into the whole memory is a monster premise. Like every character is haunted by the ghosts/ monsters of their pasts which impacts how they interact with other people. Certain characters let it make them into monsters like Lestat, Armand, and even Louis to a point. Others just try to survive through it, but still make mistakes along the way like Claudia and Daniel. They’re all trying to cope with the hands they were dealt, but it doesn’t always work out the way they intended.

Ian was diagnosed only last December (right after Ben wrapped up filming S2) and Ben had to turn down offers/projects to take care of his husband. They didn’t anticipate that it would be this fast. Unfortunately bile duct cancer is a rare form of cancer with little survival rate. (Even worse that in some cases, patients die within matter of weeks) It was reported by the Daily Mail a few days ago that Ian’s last will and testament has been published and all of his remaining estate and their property will be inherited by Ben.

I really enjoyed this interview! Talking about the ‘come to me’ was very good because I also felt confused. Louis was painting a negative picture of Lestat because of their tumultuous past and trauma but as the show progressed and Louis began to remember and interpret his past in different ways you begin to question every single thing he’s saying. What’s truly happening? What was actually said? My heart was breaking every time a scene happened as Louis remembered it but it later cut in with the truth of the situation and the pain Louis had to go through again in a new light or understanding. I have a lot of respect for Sam trying to interpret and make sense of the script and scenes! I respect the passion he has for his work!

[@Choccoco]

Also the layers of acting everyone had to do esp during the trial play. The actors playing their character, the character in a play acting and following a script, subtle and obvious breaks from the script, certain words and explanations triggering the characters from their play and having to convey them breaking. So complex! It was beautifully written and captures. I have a lot of respect for everyone on and behind the scenes!

Sam is truly Lestat watching him in this interview he is giving me all the loving parts of Lestat.

[@sleepyjoness]

He's the balanced Lestat :D

[@elonaruci2820]

Thank you for the interview! Well done! Enjoyed it ! Sam is not an easy customer! He is a perfectionist and has embraced Lestat’s character to a level that makes us root for him! Happy we will continue to see him bring Lestat to the small screen.

[@destynihamilton1503]

They said season 3 would be the Vampire Lestat and if they have a 4 it would involve Queen of the Damned

[@Roggerrabb1t]

What a fantastic interview. Autumn (beautiful name by the way), you did such a brilliant job of putting Sam at ease and letting him geek out with his passion for The Vampire Chronicles. A real pleasure to watch. I'm definitely subscribing now, can't wait to see more.

The part about lestat and Claudia's relationship truly broke me cuz its true, they could've been one hell of a team 😢

[@linseysiu3086]

OMG, this was a fantastic interview! I loved hearing his perspective on Lestat. I'm reading the book Lestat and he is so Spot on with his character study. They couldn't have picked a better actor to play his role.

[@JayEllCee12]

I need 10 hours of Sam talking about Lestat, let alone 1 😍
