Grey Worm in “Game of Thrones,” takes a bloody turn as Louis in AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire.” The series, airing Sundays at 10 p.m. on AMC (and streaming on AMC+), is based on the 1976 Anne Rice novel which, in turned, spawned the 1994 movie starring Brad Pitt as Louise and Tom Cruise as Lestat (played here by Sam Reid).
It’s already been renewed for a second season and follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Anderson), a vampire who recounts his life to reporter Daniel Malloy (Eric Bogosian) in the present day — including his origins in 1910 New Orleans and his tumultuous relationship with his vampire sire and toxic love, the mercurial Lestat de Lioncourt.“I might not have been able to play Louis if I hadn’t first played Grey Worm,” Anderson, 32, told The Post. “You have to learn how to be comfortable in silence, and do things with your eyes, and not rely on dialogue all the time.
Even though Louis is talking a lot on the show, as we go deeper into the season, he does more without saying very much.”“It’s like the most beautifully written rant about an ex,” he said about the story, which is narrated from Louis’ point of view. “My relationship with Anne Rice’s world began with the pilot.
I read the script and was like, ‘What is this, and how does it understand my brain so well?’ Then I started reading the first book and just fell in love with, not just these characters, but the way they thought, the way they ached over their existence. Anne Rice had such a singular voice,” he said about the author, who died at age 80 last year.
“I would have loved to have known what she’d thought about what we’ve done. Hopefully she would be proud.” Anderson said that he found Louis to be relatable, because he can connect to being an “over

Vamping it up. Following roles in Game of Thrones and Doctor Who, Jacob Anderson is ready to step into the shoes of another iconic character, Louis de Pointe du Lac, in AMC’s adaptation of Interview With a Vampire.
“Interview With the Vampire” is even less new. And yet somehow, AMC’s adaptation of the Anne Rice classic feels like something we haven’t seen before. It’s sensitive, disturbing, campy and beautiful, and while it’s violent, there’s a gorgeous creativity to the violence, as seen in Episode 1 when Lestat (Sam Reid) punches right through a man’s head.
