Ben Daniels is chewing up all the scenery & clearly having a blast playing Santiago. Would have enjoyed seeing him on the press tour but understand the tough situation in his personal life didn’t allow it.
Funny choice of words considering that Ben Daniels actually did a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. He played Pontius Pilate, if I remember correctly.
@@feschneider1985 I watched that on TV when I was in the 8th grade and tbh, he and Sara bareilles carried the entire show because you can tell how Ben studied the character of Pilate and captured the internal conflict and anger that he goes through in the show.
He hasn't officially debuted as Santiago but man, Ben Daniels is already shining! He will be one of the best characters yet! As much as I would have enjoyed to see him give context to Santiago's character in the press tours, I understand he's going through a personal tragedy with the death of his husband. Much condolences to him.
I have to say that what little I've seen of Ben Daniels as Santiago, I like. I've always pictured Santiago like the Innovation comic did - resembling Bela Lugosi, but with slightly longer hair. But he is great. I especially like the fans in the front. It gives the Theater a lightly Rocky Horror feel with looks like fun. Sad for BD's loss.
As I saw this on IG, I was giggling and kicking my feet the entire time watching this clip lolll. I just know that this Sunday Ben is going to steal the show because his Santiago reminds me of the character HIM from the powerpuff girls with a bit of the joker. 😈🧛🏽♂️🩸
@@DaysieRose it’s Ursula with a bit of joker, and him from the power puff girls lol. I just know that Claudia is going to be the Ariel of the season if Santiago is Ursula.
This guy was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in this scene!!! 😍 Santiago is not suuuuch an important character as Santino! But I love how they make him relevant and very interesting with this actor!
As much as I adore Sam and Jacob, it would be nice to see some interviews with Ben too. Maybe they're there and I've just missed out on them. But if not, it would be nice to see him included in some of the press tours.
His partner of 30+ years or so recently died of cancer. Ben was taking care of him as his health declined during the time press for Season 2 was going on, that's why he wasn't there for any of it.
He was actually supposed to attend the press tours starting with the TCA panel for AMC last February, but he had to pull out because of a family emergency. He wasn’t able to attend the premiere and the press junket for April and May as we’ve learned that his husband, actor Ian Gelder, aged 74, died this May 6 due to bile duct cancer. Ben knows he’d want to be there with Jacob, Sam, et al. (he’s also part of the main cast), and Ben and showrunner Rolin Jones have a great working relationship (Rolin was an executive producer for The Exorcist series, Ben’s previous project), but Ben took care of his ailing husband. Ian was only diagnosed last December, and Ben turned down offers to take care of him. They’ve been together for more than 30 years, and it’s so hard to lose a life partner. I hope Ben is alright now and surrounded by his family and friends at this very difficult time. We look forward for his comeback! He’s also part of the Rings of Power season 2 in a much smaller role, but IWTV is something to look forward!!
As a widow who had a partnership with my husband for 30+ years, it is gut-wrenching agony. For me, it felt like a huge palpable void has appeared in your life, especially during the first few years (Six years widowed now.) Sending my healing thoughts to Ben during this truly horrific time in his life. Widowhood sucks. 😢
Amazing Ben Daniels cannot wait to see him in his full glory as Santiago it's gonna be a treat. Also I'm not sure how old he is I've never read the books, but does Santiago have the cloud gift? if so he must be pretty old, or maybe he's drunk from a very powerful vampire.
The Vampire Lestat is an international rockstar. Alas Claudia been dead for quite some time. While Akasha Queen of the Damned has awakened in present day to seek out Lestat as her immortal consort. Oh Louis is telling I'm sorry retells to Daniel his story in Dubai during the covid pandemic.
One of the key emotional cores of the book was just how long they had lived, how much things had changed. It starts in the 1700s and they have claudia for decades if I remember correctly. The serious action when claudia dies etc I believe is in the 1850s - several decades after the beginning of the story. Louis and Claudia keenly feel the passing of the decades and the hollowness of their lives. It seems to me that like this time shift to the 1920s robs the story of an important element.
@RowensARTstudio in a world of 6 billion people. It’s hardly an opinion. But you’ll call it a masterpiece because you love flamboyant queens, spewing wise remarks. So I really don’t care to keep replying to you about why you enjoy this garbage.
I just had to come back from watching episode two, and IT WAS EFFIN AMAZING! I knew it would be good. I was like Claudia when she was watching the performance, all smile. And I cried a little when we saw Madeleine. And the actor who is playing Santiago, HE GAVE ME CHILLS, but in a good way! He was brilliant as him. I love this episode, and of course, Armand, Louis, and Daniel, their interaction was so funny. This season is so much BETTER! This season really got me hooked! Fantastic! That's all!
Why there isn't interviews Of the man who played Santiago? Just by seeing him, I know he would be my fav villian, not to mention, he is handsome. Armand, Santiago, theatre of the vampires, and Claudia. This season is so superior! Much better than season one!

@@kareninacaradoI’m about to be an apologist lmao! 🤣
@@DaysieRoseSame ngl
Lmao
Ben just NAILED Santiago! Loved Louis's little eye narrow at the indirect kiss he gave to Armand. LMAO I died laughing! This was perfect casting!

How heartbreaking! Compared to that, a publicity tour is trivial.
Yes, let’s send all the love to him ♥️
Love his character in the book series.
What happened to him? 😯
@@cotevallejos7230 His husband died of cancer.
This had no business being this hot jesus christ
The accent that Ben used at 1:09 and 1:13 got me twirling my hair, giggling, and kicking my feet 🤭 it’s so joker coded I don’t know why.
Right??? Holy hell 😭

Ben Daniel’s husband Ian Gelder recently passed away. Wishing him all the support in this difficult time ❤️
Me too, sending all the love to him. 🫂
I half expected Santiago to bust out with Willkommen from Cabaret, I love this take on the Theater Des Vampires.
I know right

In less than two minutes, I'm already in love with Ben Daniels' portrayal of Santiago.
Ben Daniels is amazing, Assad Zaman is a vision 😩
Ben, I’m so sorry for your indescribable loss. But you still managed to turn in a performance for the ages, I have no doubt. ♥️
My theater kid heart is very pleased with the casting of Santiago, love Ben Daniels
Poor unfortunate souuuuuls! Ugh he's so camp. I love him so much!!!
*Santiago talking to Claudia*: My dear sweet child, that’s what I do, that’s what I live for, to help poor unfortunate vampires like yourself 😈
OMGgggg Ben Daniel’s is EVERYTHING!!!!! I can’t wait for the Theatre des Vampires!!!!
Apologies to Stephen Rea, but after this two-minute clip Ben Daniels is Santiago when I think of the books.
can't wait! Ben Daniels is PERFECT as Santiago :)

I'm getting Ursula, and I'm obsessed with him now.

His appearance and attitude also reminds me a lot of Scar from The Lion King.
Ben Daniels is a master of his craft. So captivating and intriguing.
The drama! I can’t wait for Sunday!
I love this scene...the actor is incredible at all the expression's and when hes screams really give me the chills
I'm feeling so much Lucius Malfoy in this. He easily trumps the movie's Santiago. I love him.
Omg. I soooo love this. Ben Daniels is playing Santiago with such Flare and delightfullness❤❤❤❤❤❤
The way he was one of the only cast members who was SPECIFICALLY requested for this role..🥹✨❤️
This show is truly the best thing on television right now and I can’t WAIT to see Ben Daniels eat this role with a silver spoon ❤🔥🔥🔥
This is just ridiculously divine!
I am SURE Santiago will be my favorite this season!!❤
The show is finally going full Fin de Siècle and I'm here for it
This guy was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in this scene!!! 😍 Santiago is not suuuuch an important character as Santino! But I love how they make him relevant and very interesting with this actor!
I can’t wait for this episode! Give it to me now! 😭
Oh so its like rocky horror
Audience shouts back
I know Ben Daniels had the time of his life in this role 😂
oughgh im definetly crying and screaming for more 😵💫
Perfect casting! I cannot wait for Sunday!
Ben Daniels is amazing as Santiago. :)
0:52 That moment

This looks so fun! Can’t wait
Ben is SO GOOD in this role, I cant wait for tomorrow 😍

I wished this series was on for 90 minutes.
Ben Daniels is the perfect mix of David Thewlis and Ewan McGregor😊❤❤
It's beautiful, wonderful🤣, a wonderful Ben Daniels surrounded by an equally wonderful cast❤
Ben Daniels deserves Emmys for this!
i want him :[
Brilliant performance
Woah the theatre looks amazing! Excited to see Ben Daniels as Santiago ❤
He is so hot 😭😭😭😭

I doubt that will happen. Ben's partner for more than 30 years, actor Ian Gelder, has just passed away from cancer (less than two weeks ago).

Let's go episode 2❤🔥🔥
Only reason I want to watch this show is this guy's Santiago. Fantastic performance

The way he ate this role

Armand, Santiago, theatre of the vampires, I can't wait for this episode!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Ben Daniels as Santiago is gonna be one of my favourites I just know it (Despite what will happen)
Ben Daniels was absolutely CAPTIVATING
I like this Santiago and believe he will be more menacing
he was nice when Luis play football with his cutted head
The best villain
Well how old is Santiago? Since he can fly
Santiago is so hot
Santiago um tremendo personagem se vê isso no filme 🎥 de 94 e na série, não sei porque Anne não ou aproveitou mas nós livros 📚 📚.
All my love to Ben Daniels
Does anyone know the name of the piano song playing in the background in this scene?
Name of the violin song? Is a soundtrack but i don't know what's the name of the song
I cant wait!
Art art art...
❤
Thankyou for making this show the way you did 🥹 i can't believe i get to witness greatness of such proportion in this economy 🥹
Where's lestat now?when louis telling daniel the story?is Claudia dead too?
Let the tale seduce you...
The Vampire Lestat is an international rockstar. Alas Claudia been dead for quite some time. While Akasha Queen of the Damned has awakened in present day to seek out Lestat as her immortal consort. Oh Louis is telling I'm sorry retells to Daniel his story in Dubai during the covid pandemic.
Seriously why are you asking for lestat, are you mad?
@RowensARTstudioLouis is the MC of the first book. Rice changed that after releasing the second book the vampire Lestat like 10 years later
@RowensARTstudio well I don't fk care, the only thing i care about is Claudia, loumand and nothing else.
So f u and lesrat all tgt.
🧛🏽
he dont need plane or helicopter to fly anyway
Why did I think this was Spike from Buffy the Vampire slayer 🙃
Omg me too 😂
Santiago us kinda hot
It was better set in the 1800s
One of the key emotional cores of the book was just how long they had lived, how much things had changed. It starts in the 1700s and they have claudia for decades if I remember correctly.

its like watching a noise music show.
What you see when you get to the gates of gay hell.
If so, guess hell will be fun for me.
Well now I know why no one is watching this show.
Me when I lie
Viewership below a million people but I guess numbers lie.
@RowensARTstudio in a world of 6 billion people. It’s hardly an opinion. But you’ll call it a masterpiece because you love flamboyant queens, spewing wise remarks. So I really don’t care to keep replying to you about why you enjoy this garbage.
@@FJX716 because everyone is streaming it. Who the hell has cable?
@@CeciLi-g9d streaming amc. I feel sorry for you.

Seasons 3 and 4 need to be Based on the 2nd Book The Vampire Lestat.
This aged well because season 3 will tackle the vampire Lestat

He, Ben Daniels, was actually supposed to join the press junkets but his husband recently passed away due to cancer.
@@kareninacarado In that case, yeah, that's for the best. That's devastating. My heart goes out to Ben and his husband's family for their lost.
