There must have been a time when I had an image of Santiago that was not movie!Santiago but it evaporated the very second this scene happened 😉 So this is all you get for him 😉
Interview with the Vampire (1994) dir. Neil Jordan
^Consider this tho: an actor (Stephen Rea) pretending to be a vampire (Santiago) pretending to be an actor pretending to be a vampire [X by ouija—bored]
So I met Santiago Stephen Rea last night after his performance in A Particle of Dread, and brought him two headshots, intending for him to choose which one he preferred to sign.
He signed both. I was very pleased.
To explain the “20 yrs” comment: I had told him I’ve been a fan of his for 20 yrs “…because of this,” and that’s when I handed him the headshots. He smiled, said, “Oh, that was so fun.” And then I asked him for a memorable story from the set. He thought for a moment, and said he couldn’t really remember anything specific except the Fred Astaire gag, and I let him explain it to me, even though WE ALREADY KNOW HOW THAT WORKED FROM THE DVD bc clearly, it was his most memorable moment.
Sorry you can’t see my face with him, but I felt like I’d asked enough of him, couldn’t ask for a selfie, too… and so you get my backside and his frontside!
PS. He liked my pen. It’s a Marvy calligraphy pen, 2.0. I almost gave it to him. It’s a great pen to use when getting autographs bc of the variable line weight.
Signature and Ireland’s renowned Field Day Theatre Company are thrilled to present the U.S. premiere of 1996-97 Playwright-in-Residence Sam Shepard’s A Particle of Dread. This dark, fragmented, modern-day take on Oedipus Rex premiered in Derry, Ireland and features Academy Award-nominee Stephen Rea in the canonical central role, alongside a cast of actors from both sides of the Atlantic.
^Yes that is Stephen Rea. With what appears to be goggles made of entrails. You’re welcome.
I have tickets to see this play on 1/3/15 here in NY! Considering printing this headshot of him as Santiago for him to sign afterwards… what do you think, would he be flattered or go for my small intestine for fresh goggles?

Santiago is a horrible monster, but there was something magnetic about him all the same, maybe due to his insistence on Obeying the Rules w/ Extreme Sass. To be such a fantastic antagonist, just what was his DAMAGE, y’know? just want more of his backstory!
