Actress Dichen Lachman may be most familiar to readers from her work on Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.
It was her time on the show that helped Lachman her love for and embracing of the sci-fi genre.
“I love sci-fi/fantasy and somehow, thanks to Joss Whedon, I guess, I’ve made a little home there,” she tells Blastr. “And I hope I can continue to do this genre, because I love it. I love it, I think it’s a wonderful place to play out ideas and opinions about the world today in a safe place.”
This year, Lachman has joined the cast of Being Human in the recurring role of vampire princess Suren.
“She’s a very interesting character, and I had a lot of fun having the opportunity to play her. I mean, as an actor, obviously playing a vampire is one of the things on the list,” she says. “She’s incredibly complex, very damaged and reckless in many ways. But at the same time, she’s striving to grow up and mature and be the woman that her mother would like her to be.”
“She’s one of those things that just keeps pulling him back into the world of vampires, which he’s constantly trying to escape,” saysLachman. “It’s one of those, I guess, love-hate relationships. I mean, they had a very long history together. She’s obviously been in the ground for 80 years, so minus that. … They’ve just had a very complicated past, and I don’t think their relationship has ever been consummated.”
Is this the British or the American Being Human?
One click on the link in the text confirms that it’s the SyFy version. (Which was to be expected if you’ve been keeping up with the British Being Human)
Seems like I’ll have another reason to finish season 1 of the SyFy version to see if I continue watching this version.
