I remember they did all the makeup tests on me for Darla... Sorry, for "the vampire." I was the test monkey for the vampire look, so I went through numerous variations of the prosthetics and camera tests before I actually got the job.

[Filming Payne] that was also the first time I worked with JoBeth Williams, which was also a case of not being the last time!

That was one of the reasons I took the role [of Mayor Amanda Rosewater in Defiance] - to be a part of something groundbreaking interested me.

I loved playing Darla.

I've been an actor for 30 years, so I pretty much know how to do the basics of a fight without hurting anybody.

It's funny, I get really nervous when I audition for voiceovers.

Working with Dario [Argento] was a lot of fun. He's a larger-than-life character, and with an Italian accent.
