On AMC’s Interview With the Vampire, Eric Bogosian plays Daniel Molloy, the reporter who is conducting the titular “interview” with the vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac. However, the series takes a bit of a different approach to the story, based on Anne Rice’s iconic novel of the same name. The series’ Daniel is older than “the boy” readers meet in the book and with the series’ conversation between Louis and Daniel being a second one decades after the first, Daniel’s fate thus far in the television series is a bit different from the novel as well. While Daniel in Rice’s Vampire Chronicles series of books became a vampire as a young man, the AMC series sees an older Daniel whose health is in decline. And for Bogosian, he’s hopeful that AMC’s adaptation will eventually lead to Daniel becoming a vampire as well simply because he as an actor has always wanted to play a vampire.
