“Angel” fans rejoice: J. August Richards is back in the vampire genre.
Instead of hunting vampires, he plays one in Peacock’s new “Vampire Academy” series.
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” universe fans may remember Gunn as the jaded vampire hunter turned Angel ally.
With that being said, what would Gunn think of Richards' shiny new fangs?
After gathering his thoughts for a second, he added, “Dang, you went there.
You took it there.
Well, early Gunn would want Victor dead immediately.
Later Gunn might hear his story a little bit.
That’s how I’ll answer that.”
Given that Gunn eventually works with Angel later in the show, that tracks.
Of course, Victor’s family dynamics are certainly different from Gunn’s.
But best of all?
Richards plays a wonderfully queer Moroi with an onscreen husband and adopted daughters.
Will we ever see this familiar face on Vampire Academy?
I would bring her over to this show so that she could play a vampire as well."
He’d probably be really cool as a vampire."
Richards responded, “He would be.
He could throw a Fyre Festival for the non-royal Moroi.”
Kaiser was pleased with the suggestion, adding, “That’d be awesome non-royal Moroi.”
