Tag Archives: Michael Sutton

I was cruising around and stumbled on the face of Michael Sutton, an actor who played Radu in the TV movie “Dracula The Dark Prince”. now in my head as soon as I saw his face, Santino popped in my head. There’s a tie between him and François Arnaud in my little version of casting the VC characters – some days François Arnaud works a little bit for Nicolas as well :3

François Arnaud is good Nicolas stuff. I’m gonna have to watch the Borgias now, right? Yeah. Bonus points:

  • Canadian, but born in Quebec, where French is the official language, so I’d say he’s got authentic enough French heritage (and he speaks English, French and Spanish fluently!) 
  • Can sing and play the piano so he must be able to read sheet music LET’S PUT A VIOLIN IN HIS HANDS
  • 6’ 0¾" (1.85 m) tall :D, Lestat is about the same, which is important, bc they share clothes in Paris ❤
  • 31 yrs old but can still pass for his early 20′s.
  • Looks damn fine in period costume

(Re: Michael Sutton, can you find me a good gif or two? I’m having trouble getting one bc there are alot of Michael Suttons out there or smtg.)

I don’t have a gif for Michael Sutton but here are a couple of photos from Dracula The Dark Prince were he played the character Radu, Vlad Tepes brother. 

Now, Michael – look wise – has the dark and brooding look of Santino (back in the days when this TV movie premiered, I pinned him for Santino, his age might be a problem now, he’s 46 but can pass for a 35 years old man and since news of a VC script are harder to get than water the Gobi dessert, this will remain as a wishful cast on my side).

But…as I was cruising for photos, I stumbled on an old fancy of mine…Todd Lasance – Caesar in Spartacus War of the Damned and Julian in The Vampire Diaries.

Blond, blue eyes, 33 years old, could pass for late 20s.

at first, I pinned him for Lestat but something wasn’t quite there for a full Lestatish experience. Then I kinda saw Marius – Caesar, the whole Roman look. He can act vicious, he can be cute, he can do drama and he can make men and women swoon. 

And, bless you for being here I-Want-My-IWTV!

Well, you make a lot of excellent points, I can’t really argue! As far as the age thing is concerned, idk how hold Santino is meant to appear, but erring on the side of older rather than younger works for me; he’s meant to be somewhat imposing and scary, at least initially.

Thanks for the followup, and merci for the compliment ^u^
