I always tell people that Lestat was the only character TC ever played. When I see him in any other movie (I haven't seen
Magnolia yet) he's Tom Cruise. However, to me watching Interview he really was Lestat.
Angela - I had no idea that Rice wanted RH to play Lestat, oh he so would have hit that role out of the park. I've been a RH fan since he scared the crap out of me in
The Hitcher and kind of developed a crush on him in
Lady Hawk - I was a kid, don't judge.
I've never actually seen
Blade Runner I really need to watch that one of these days.
Speaking of Vamps - holy crap Bill (English?) and Jason (Australian?) from TB have accents...damn that just makes them all kinds of sexy.
