I've been offered quite a few network shows, over the past couple of years, and always turned them down because I never wanted the commitment. The way that it works in America, you do a pilot and then you wait, and I just thought that wasn't really what I was interested in doing, in that moment.

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

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.

Everyone wants to see someone shoot someone in the head.

You work with seasoned actors, and sometimes you realize that they phone it in.

Nowadays, everything is so gratuitous. The violence is suggested, and it's much more impactful than showing everything.

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