Sam Witwer plays vampire Aidan, one of the leading roles on the supernatural drama "Being Human". Reading what Sam said about working on the show - who would not like to be a fly on the wall of that set? His breakthrough came 2004 in the form of the recurring role of Lt. Crashdown on the sci-fi drama "Battlestar Galactica", which has an interesting background story Sam talks about below. Moreover, he gives us an insight into the story surrounding his appearance on "The Walking Dead"...
... Q: Suren [Dichen Lachman] is back to town and it seems, she and Aidan share a past. Can you give us some insight to that relationship?
Sam Witwer: "To break it down into very real life terms, this is the girl you were in love with in highschool. Now you're 27 and you start dating that girl. Is it what you thought it was gonna be? Was it a good idea? Have you two changed to such an extent that it's maybe not the best fit anymore?
We see two people who, when they're not fighting, they're having sex."
Q. The blood thirst gives Aidan a darker note this season. Do you enjoy playing that?
Sam Witwer: I don't know if I enjoy playing it. I find it endlessly compelling. It's my job to bring the metaphor of drug addiction into the mix, it's why I took the role, and it is definitely one of the most interesting aspects of the character to me. If that ever went away, I'd be lost.
Having said that, it's not always fun to perform. The fun stuff is hanging out with Sammy [Huntington) and Meaghan Rath and cracking-wise..."
Being Human airs Monday at 9/8C on Syfy.
