The cast for Interview With the Vampire is growing, as Variety has just shared that the AMC series has added Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy. The adaptation of Anne Rice’s iconic book is currently in production, which follows the story of immortal beings, as they face perils and blood. Sam Reid has taken on the role of Lestat while Jacob Anderson will play Louis. The role of Claudia will be played by Bailey Bass in the upcoming series. Showrunner Rolin Jones had the following to say on the casting:
In 1988, I hit my mom up for money three times to see ‘Talk Radio’ in the movie theaters. I count Eric Bogosian as one of the half dozen artists who made me want to do this for a career. He is, for me, the dented car fender of the American Soul and I can think of no better actor/writer alive to play this role. I’m in total frothing geek mode about his casting
Rolin Jones
The role of Molloy is that of an investigative journalist who is trying to revive his career by conducting a titular interview. Bogosian is stepping into quite the shoes, as Christia Slater took on the role in the film by the same name. The actor has previously appeared in the play Talk Radio, Uncut Gems, Wonderland, Billions, and even Successions.
