ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese sat down with The Radleys star Damian Lewis to talk about the horror-comedy. He talked about playing two characters in the same film, working with co-star Kelly Macdonald, and more. The film is now in theaters, digitally, and on-demand.
Radleys Interview: Damian Lewis on the Vampire Horror Comedy!
“Award-winning actors Kelly Macdonald (No Country For Old Men) and Damian Lewis (Billions, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood) star in a dark comedy-thriller about a seemingly average suburban family hiding a juicy secret: they’re vampires. The Radleys may seem normal in the light of day, but they can only suppress their natural desires for so long before the bloody truth surfaces and turns their quiet country life upside down,” the synopsis reads.
Tyler Treese: You're having a lot of fun here. You're playing two different vampires. One is a pretty standup dad, and the other is the hottest uncle, the worst Influence there is. What was the most interesting thing about playing these very different characters as an actor?
Damian Lewis: Well, first of all, and first of all, when someone calls you and says, uh, "Hey Damian, I've got a film and I want you to play two parts in it." You immediately prick up your ears. That's always good for the ego. Oh, right, I get to show off twice. This is fantastic.
