The article "Damien Molony interview: 'Vampires are addicts'" was published on the website telegraph.co.uk on 20 Feb 2013.
The article carries a lot of comments on Damien Molony, star of the BBC series Being Human.
Giving appraisal of the situation it's necessary to point out that the actor is one of three current stars of the BBC’s hit TV show Being Human – which follows a werewolf, a ghost and, you guessed it, a vampire as they try to exist amid human beings.
In addition the author of the article mentions that Damien Molony has never seen Twilight and this would not normally be surprising for a man in his late-twenties, but it is in this instance: for Molony, the boxoffice-busting films adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s teen-fantasy novels are competition.
In this connection it’s worthwhile mentioning that Molony insists the difference is clear between the vampire-human romance story that is Twilight and Being Human, which brings bloodthirsty fantasy down to earth with a thump: “Our show is based on relationships. It’s not a vampire and a ghost and werewolf, it is actually three people with curses or afflictions ultimately trying to fit in to society,” he explains.
Speaking of this situation it is also interesting to note that Molony took over from Aiden Turner as the lead vampire for series four and five and will see the programme through to its conclusion later this year,he plays Hal Yorke, a 500-year-old vampire and, incredibly, it is his first TV role,there was something about the part which he understood from the very first moment, though “I knew what I was going to do, before I even read the script. I had this instinctive feeling that if they gave me the script straightaway, I could do the role,” he says.
In conclusion the author of the article expresses the view that for the moment, it is Being Human that is Molony's calling-card, he clearly feels at home in the character of Hal, despite his strong Irish accent being hidden beneath a clipped but soft English one,on screen, he portrays the moments of horror with as much conviction as the one-liners, which are performed with nicely judged understatement.
As for me I think that being an actor it is important to be different and no to play the same role several times, or sooner it will be difficult to spectators to imagine you as anyone else.
