#iwtv cast asks

[pynkhues]

Yeah Ben Daniels is just such a great actor, I'm hoping we get some more of him in any flashbacks to the truth around the trial.

He's fantastic, and he really made Santiago his own, which is just delightful to me. I feel like he has to be there in the s3 trial revisit, right? Especially given it feels like we haven't yet seen what actually made the power swing back in Armand's favour after Santiago worked to oust him from the Coven (I've talked about my personal theory on here before as it potentially being tied to Armand having already imprisoned Lestat when the Coven tries to find him, but who knows at this point?) It feels like pretty juicy territory for the show to explore, and pretty important context for the conflict there, so I really do hope they revisit it.

It's really incredible how much chemistry Jacob and Sam have as these characters, and it's so deeply lovely that they both seem like wonderful people and seem genuinely really close and to care a lot about each other (I always think of Jacob reassuring Sam, who was clearly so nervous, at SDCC, and just how much time they clearly enjoy spending together talking and hanging out).

Yes, it’s just precious!!!

We really are quite blessed with them and the whole cast!! 🥰

Yeah. Too many gifs to choose from :)

They‘re just wonderful 💕

Not just chick magnets. He called Luke virile. As in "a young man full of sexual strength and energy". Fuck. Eric's joining the war on rpf in the side of rpf. What beautiful news to wake up to on a Sunday morning.

no because it’s literally everything. like for starters imagine your coworker called you virile 😭 i know HR hates to see eric’s inappropriate ass coming 😭 and luke like why am i in it but he’s also blushing and flattered? virile. young and virile.

Yk the trend where the parents say genz/ gen alpha humour and the kids try not to laugh?

Imagine reader and louis doing that with daniel or armand 💀

PLS 😭 my little sister thought to do this to our mom the other day and she called me into the room and it was so much funnier than it should have been.

I can picture reader being like "I have a fun little, pre-interview ice breaker" and giving them the list of words.

Louis probably recognizes the most common/useable slang from reader sending him videos/memes. When Daniel pieces together what it is he recognizes less words than Louis, but he thinks he has an advantage bc these are technically still a part of his natural timeline. Reader laughs so hard it delays the entire interview by at least five minutes.

[brian-kinney-apologist]

eric talking about how luke was watching him and planning a strategy on how to play him had me laughing like luke studied him like a bug or something, the way he talks about is just too funny to me but then i will watch scenes like the one when young daniel asks louis to show him his fangs and his reactions, his physicality is exactly like eric's. idk what the fuck luke did but it worked

I looovveee when actors are mimicking each other successfully, it's so fascinating to see!!!! just look at sam doing this with jacob too!! and also ben daniels mimicking jacob in the last episode!! AND idk if it's a hot take or not but of course delainey is doung her own thing with claudia this season BUT when i see her in some scenes she gives off such a strond bailey's claudia vibe and my heart just melts bc i live them both very dearly 💔 luke obviously did an amazing job in this episode and that's why I hope we'll see more of him, he clearly did his homework and knew how to play young!daniel right to both embody eric's daniel and to show us a different younger version of the same character

[ca-suffit]

I kinda want someone with super dark skin to be Akasha. My fantasy would be someone like Anok Yai.

she already dressed like her once too!!

[danielsarmand]

Armand turning Daniel out of spite offscreen ruined my night it's never been so over for us

ok no anon i know but look at me look at me breathe with me i'm going to say two things about this

1. i don't know how much of season three is written already, but none of it has been filmed so far. there is still time. hell, there will always be time as long as they renew—even if, at the very worst, they don't show much in season three because of the “rockstar lestat, lestat's season” of it all, they could still revisit important building blocks in armand's own season.

2. wait i forgot what i was going to say here—AH yes so of course. of course these are post-season interviews and are meant to give a little clarity as to what happened and why and the motivations behind certain actions, but they can't spoil too much of what's yet to come. i have read countless interviews where writers and/or actors said x and then it turned out to be y, simply because they need to elaborate on what's already happened without spoiling too much of their future plans. actors are a little shit at it, they always say too much and generate expectation. writers are better, they basically tell fuck all. they circle around things and sometimes outright lie to a) avoid expectations they're not sure it'll be possible to satisfy, at least within a certain time-frame and b) keep their plans as close to their chest as possible, simply because that's the point, that's they're job, they have to make something for you to witness so it doesn't serve them to just explain it beforehand.

i'm ngl i got nervous too there but let us all hold hands in silent prayer it isn't over until it's over okay godspeed

Anon, I wish it was possible for me to put into words the face I just made, and I say that as someone who really enjoys Matthew MacFayden as an actor, lmao.

[nalyra-dreaming]

It's so precious to me how Eric Bogosian and Assad Zaman are eager, ready and CRAVING to give us the kinkiest little Gremlins 🥺 We are so trully blessed with this cast.

Hahaha YES!!!

They are so precious :)

And I cannot wait to see all they talked about wrt Devil's Minion, because... well Assad definitely knows. All :)) (*)

*waggles eyebrows*

(* btw I'm not insinuating Eric might not know, he definitely knows, but Assad teased him with it and that will not ever be not hilarious to me^^)

[sanctaignorantia]

hi! since you're doing the tremendous task of identifying all actors who seem to be part of the show atm, i need to put smth out here because i've also been keeping tabs on who's following who on ig, and i've noticed something interesting that istg might just be me going insane but also... who knows... there's this woman on ig that everyone is following: diatta_emilie and taking into account that a lot of people are fancasting fka twigs as akasha, when i saw her i immediately thought about a possible casting. im going anon on this one because tbh with this particular thing i do feel a little tinfoil hat but i HAD TO tell someone. Have an amazing day!

Ohhh yes you are right Anon! I noticed that too, but didn't pay full attention and ended up leaving it out. I did a little research and she is an actress too! When I saw her I was paralyzed because she is soooo beautiful! I'll add it in the next update, but for now:

"Born and raised in France, Emilie Diatta moved to Czech Republic when she was 13." (source)

Bring on more discoveries, I love this investigation and it helps us kill time until season2!

I swear whoever first said "summer of rpf" was hit in the face by Appolo with the gift of prophecy.

It feels like all the actors/celebs used to go "ew, no, separate us from our roles" or "haha how silly" about any instance of rpf. But this year they all collectively went "actually, we're all hot and beautiful and there's really no reason for us to be normal about each other. Yes, we do want to talk about it. Where's the megaphone?"

no literally. there's no better way to have fun in the sun than to pretend/play up your romantic and sexual relationships with your coworkers. or, if you're me, be inside on computer watching actors be deranged about each other

[whewchilli-theghetto]

Yeah I totally agree. I'd be more hesitant to speculate about sexuality on twitter, but on tumblr it seems more private, so.... yeah, based on everything he's said and others have said about him and just all of it, I'd be pretty surprised if Sam is not bisexual or pansexual.

so true twt would have me for lunch hdks.

alsoooo if it's not out of the way do you mind telling me or linking me to some of the comments made by and about him that made you think this as well? i know for sure that him loving the books from young is a big indicator. what else :0

[danielsarmand]

"#prev your tags are so damn real i was thinking the exact same#rpf summer babey!#it's like. i get it sam assad IS the most endearing person to ever exist"

and with the way he is we shall continue to see the entire iwtv cast be endeared by him. the summer is ours!

assad zaman just got the gold medal in the loverboy competition at the olympics it's true

[cher-horowitz]

the iwtv cast is so pretty 🥰 and i mean everybody

so true! it's honestly rude!

that being said thank you iwtv casting department. ❤️
