TOTAL SCIFI ONLINE: Aidan Turner: Shadow of the Vampire
With a history replete with murder, battle and sudden death, vampire John Mitchell continues to give Aidan Turner plenty to sink his teeth into. He tells Paul Simpson why the third series is a “rollercoaster ride..."
... Q: How much do you think the writers have pulled from Aidan into Mitchell?
AT: A lot. I could see in the second series that things changed. It became more fluid and easier. Now there are words and phrases popping up that we throw around on set. We call each other certain things, which has influenced Toby. It keeps it close to home and keeps it in a more organic place. It helps him and helps us.
Q: The American version’s vampire is called Aidan – was that a surprise?
AT: Yes, it was. I didn’t know. I guess it’s a little weird, but it’s flattering if it is for me… it doesn’t matter if it isn’t. It’s just a name, I don’t own it! It doesn’t really affect me at all.
Being Human (3) is currently airing on Sunday nights on BBC Three.
