Jena Malone and Riley Keough attend the Hulu "Powerhouse Performances" FYC panel at the Directors Guild of America on June 1, 2024 in Los Angeles, California.
Oh boy is Jacob Anderson phenomenal! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 He elevated Louis from a background character to a blazing fire at the heart of the show, filled with complex intensity and depth.
As a lover of Anne's ouvre since 2004, I was skeptical when I first heard that they were diverging from the book Louis, but I actually really really like the undercurrent of race and the complexities that this fantastic casting adds to the story. It makes it feel so relevant and gives Louis a riveting agency.
This Louis has a ferocity to him, a combattiveness born from years of having to fight harder, stay cooler, achieve higher despite his vircumstances. Its an electrifying new twist on the character, and it's easy to see why Lestat is besotted with him. It will make it all the more gut wrenching when Louis falls into depression later in the story. It's also a nice contrast to see the difference between that raw, scrappy, defiant young man, and the cool collected vampire in the interview room. Evidences how much he's been though, how much he's lived.
And of course this takes me to Jacob Anderson. He brings Louis to life in a way which is so real, so relatable and nuanced. His range is incredible and the subtlties of emotion he manages to convey with his face and posture... just riveting. A truly incredible actor, who has breathed new life into Anne's character with a sincerity that astounds. 🔥👌🏼 He inspires our imaginations and breaks our hearts.
Alright folks, I need help. I just found out Conan moderated a Barry FYC panel back on 5/3/2019.
But I can't find it! Does anyone have this video, or even some clips? I would be forever indebted to you! Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you!🧡🧡🧡

Few times in my life I wished for something SO badly. I didn't think we'd get a second chance at a premier. Couldn’t imagine how but it's happened and in the best way, with a whole event to show them how deserving they are of an Emmy nom.
Just like Taylor said, it's a very special project and it changed a lot of people's lives, both the book and movie and they deserve this and so do we. ❤️🤍💙
