I feel exactly the same way. To me, he immersed himself so completely in the role that I could see Lestat instead of TC. Of course, I haven't tried watching the movie since he went crazy, so I don't know if he'd still have the same effect.

Rice WROTE the character with RH in mind. He was always her Lestat, and it's my understanding that she fought for him in the role with the limited authority she had at the time. He was already too old for the role by that time according to the PTBs.

You have GOT to see it, and not just for RH. Harrison Ford as a young and sexy Rick Deckard is scrumptious, and EJO is pretty hot too. Even Darryl Hannah as the sexkitten killer replicant is both vicious and tragic. In fact, the whole movie is that--vicious and tragic. And RH's character...man, oh man. You know, it's not unlike an introspective vampire movie in many ways...the replicants are incredibly brutal, but self-aware in a way mankind often isn't, and able to step outide the boundaries of humanity to see and understand things we refuse to see and understand. SEE IT.

I knew Stephen Moyers was British, but I wasn't aware that Jason had an accent too. I need to hear that right quick!
