‘Interview With the Vampire’ Star Luke Brandon Field on Excavating Daniel Molloy’s Past: ‘A Visceral, Sublime Experience’

In “Don’t Worry, Just Start the Tape,” Daniel Molloy finally gets his answers.

The past is always present in AMC’s “Interview With the Vampire,” though not always in the minds of its characters. The series adapts Anne Rice’s seminal vampire novel with an essential reinvention: The interview in Rice’s book already happened, in 1973 San Francisco, where it went calamitously wrong. In the series, a new interview is underway in 2022 Dubai, where the now legendary journalist Daniel Molloy interviews Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) once again, determined to dig up the truth he missed the first time, including his own.
