Dracula isn't just another vampire show. It's something entirely different that I personally feel I've never seen on American TV before.

I went to a French school, so we didn't study Bram Stoker there. I just thought it was a genius thing.

As the show [Dracula] goes on,Jonathan Harker gets darker and darker, and further into that side of it all. All of the worlds end up colliding and meshing together.

Dracula isn't just another vampire show. It's something entirely different that I personally feel I've never seen on American TV before.

I rarely watch TV, and in the past two years, I've done three TV shows. It's quite interesting.

I'm perfectly honest, I've never seen Twilight, I've never seen The Vampire Diaries, and I've never seen True Blood, or anything like that.

When I read the script, I said to one of the producers, "I know you probably want Jonathan Harker really fluffy, but I'm not gonna do that. It needs to be a mask. There needs to be a duel between Harker and Dracula."
