For those of you who tuned in for our chat on casting in regards to VC TV, here are some of the people we mentioned, and also some people that have been mentioned by various magazines and of course by Anne and POTP.

1. Douglas Booth (The Riot Club, Jupiter Ascending) 

2. Jamie Campbell Bower (Mortal Instruments, Will) 

3. Sam Heughan (Outlander)

4. Dacre Montgomery (Power Rangers, Stranger Things)  

5. Caleb Landry Jones (X-Men, Twin Peaks) 

6. Reeve Carney (Penny Dreadful)

7. Sean Keenan (Glitch)

8. Kivanç Tatlitug (some Turkish dancing and singing) He was Anne’s fave for a while (LMAO why are you laughing…) 

Who do you think should play Lestat? 

Anne Rice said, in the comments of one of the latest posts, that Holliday Grainger (Lucrezia Borgia in “The Borgias”) would be a perfect Bianca or a perfect Gabrielle! Ah, the post was about her asking what we (People of the page) were doing. And down below Rice’s comment, Caleb Landry Jones has been suggested as Armand! What do you think?

I don’t have an opinion on any of these, could work! She seems a little young to play Gabrielle, but it could work.

I remember that @gingerhairedimmortal-archived, an Armand RPer, had used Caleb Landry Jones as a face claim, so you might want to check out their archive for more on that.

I know another good choice for Armand might be Caleb Landry Jones. He’s currently 27 and I constantly forget he’s that old. I always think he’s like 20, 21. He’d be a good pick too, in addition to all the others you have named 8D. I’ve also seen some Armand rpers use him as a FC. Not many, but one or two. I’d, personally, be fine with her maybe aging Armand up into his early twenties. That’s a reasonable reason to age him up. Not wanting an actor to age too much while in the role.

@gingerhairedimmortal-archived used Caleb Landry Jones as a face claim. I agree w/ the age thing, he definitely could pass for 16, IMO.

There’s a sweetness to him, he’s got some charm.

Can he be bad ass enough? Idk, I haven’t seen him in much. Only Byzantium, which I really did not like, which wasn’t his fault. He wasn’t very remarkable in that movie to me.

This is one of those ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ things, I can’t quite articulate why he doesn’t come near my headcanon for Armand, but hey, he could be a fantastic actor. You’re not the only one who’s suggested him, so I’d screentest him, if it were up to me ;]
