someone in the comments of the new iwtv teaser said "Sam is not beating the allegations of being possessed by Lestat" and like. have you heard of a thing called "acting"
#im not gonna reply to the comment itself bc that way madness lies but i AM gonna bitch about it here#ik its like a joke or whatever but comments like that just rub me the wrong way#it would be one thing if it were a comment on a video of him at an interview or whatever *as himself* and was acting lestat-ish#but its literally a video of him playing lestat!#he is not being possessed by a fictional character he is PLAYING said character because he is an ACTOR because that is his JOB#which he is quite good at!#even if its meant as a compliment to his acting it still bothers me#because it ignores the hard work that goes into portraying a character like that and the deliberate choices that are made by the actor#not to mention the rest of the crew/creative team#also if i was playing a character like lestat and someone said i was “possessed” by them i might be kinda peeved#bc lestat is like. not a good dude.#i wouldnt want to be compared to him#id want to be able to take that character off at the end of the day#tbh its just skirting a little too close to treating actors as fictional characters instead of actual people which i am not a huge fan of#idk its probably not even that deep but it hit a nerve and im feeling bitchy today#iwtv#the vampire lestat#sam reid
