cool interview with the vampire the
vampire chronicles I’ve come to answer
your prayers after a series of film
successes in the late 80s and early 90s
Tom Cruise was one of the most
marketable actors in Hollywood
this led director Neil Jordan to cast
him as the vampire lestat DeLeo cool in
this adaptation of the Anne Rice novel
Lord what I wouldn’t give for a trouble
Yankees are not your tastes they’re
Democratic flavor just a suit but
actually fans of the book didn’t think

to do was cast a new Spock to replace
the iconic Leonard Nimoy I am Spock

point Quinto had appeared in several
television series but had never appeared
on the big screen captain engineering
reports ready for lunch thank you this
caused some fans to question the casting
decision especially after the actor
admitted that he had only seen a couple
of the previous Star Trek films what
captain please I apologize the
complexities of human pranks escaped me
it’s not a prank Spock
Nimoy however who played a large role in
the casting choice approved of Quinto

candidacy should you desire I can
provide character references it would be

a believable British accent I decided to
take control of my life and start a

characters complexity and because he
wanted to go against his usual
typecasting my partner is a belligerent
asshole with his back against the wall

hilarious antics and self-deprecating
humor of Tatum’s Jenko quickly
