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? 

Do you think Sam Reid would make a good Lestat? I kinda view him as my headcanon. He was in the movie Belle.

I didn’t see Belle yet (it’s on my watchlist). 

Physically I think he works, look at this smooth operator (we don’t need the context to know he is artfully cranking up the charm here):

Shirtless pic bc of reasons is this why ppl ask me about my casting opinions? You just want me to google these guys shirtless jfc don’t you: EDIT: Actually an anon informs me this one is Sam Heughan, but I’m leaving it here bc of reasons:

And his smile (necessary to the character) even has good dimple action,

but then, when I checked out a video, I feel like his voice is really low for Lestat:

Idk maybe he going for a lower register in this vid for a reason, but I see him more as Augustin or a young Lestat’s dad bc of that low voice.
