Angela:
I think that I had that experience initially, but what’s interesting is
that there was so many of us that we became the people that everyone
else was gonna try to fit into. There were so many vampires and so many
actors there. Initially it was… I am trying to think of the correct word
because the very first scene that we shot was at the Casbah , and I
remember just going on that set and seeing Elizabeth Reaser and their
faces that I’d seen posters of and these faces that I’d seen in the
films. I couldn’t digest it. I couldn’t look at it and go oh whatever,
who cares, they are just actors, it was surreal. The whole thing was
completely surreal. I remember I came on set the day before we were
shooting, or two days before, and I saw Kristen sitting there, and I was
like that’s the girl. There’s the face that I’ve been seeing and
hearing everywhere. There’s that little head. It was interesting to
finally see them in the flesh. It was not as intimidating as you think.
Just a very crazy thing to see these things for real.
When you came into this, who were you most excited to work with?
Angela:
I was looking forward to meeting Rami because he was going to play my
man. I know technically I should be excited to meet Kristen and Rob and
all those cats and I was happy to meet them, I really was, but I think
that most excited about it was meeting Rami because we were going to be
mates, as vampires can be. We were mates. I didn’t know who he was and
it was a lovely surprise. It was just a great surprise. I think when you
see the film, you will think that we are a couple, which is cool. We
really found what was special between us.
What was the most challenging part of playing this role?
Angela:
I don’t think it was challenging actually. I didn’t find it to be very
challenging. I kinda just took everything from one moment to the next. I
don’t know, I would think that the right answer was that it wasn’t
really challenging, it was fun. It was interesting and fun to approach
based on the world that was being created. If that makes any sense.
Because I didn’t know really what I was walking into, so everything was
kind of created in the moment. I had ideas, but those ideas can be
thrown out the window once you walk on a set, and you see what’s really
going on. So then you create in the moment, which makes it more
exciting. It wasn’t a challenge, so it was more fun than difficult in
any way working on this part. Creating real relationships and building
the characters from there. I guess, ultimately. And there were pleasant
surprises along the way. There are pleasant surprises because you don’t
know who you are going to meet. So when you have connections with other
actors, like Kristen and I and Rob and Rami and Omar and a lot of us had
real connections. People had real chemistry. It was surprising that
those things happened and I was happy for them. And you create friends as
well.
