Variety’s Best TV Performances of 2022: Pairs Edition
Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid (Interview with the Vampire, AMC)Stepping into the iconic Anne Rice roles of Louis and Lestat must have been, at the very least, incredibly intimidating. But in AMC’s refreshing twist on the original novel, Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid rose to the occasion with unforgettable style. Reid unleashed hell as the perpetually hungry Lestat, prowling the screen like a lion waiting to pounce. Anderson, portraying a Louis of decidedly different roots than the one Rice first wrote, gave one of the year’s point-blank best performances, as ferocious as it was viscerally wounded. As Reid and Anderson embody Lestat and Louis, it’s all too easy to understand why millions remain so invested in this romance, vicious and doomed though it is.

what it looks like when two hearts are silently breaking in front of each other
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022-)
The first time I laid eyes on you, your beautiful face, I saw that sorrow. I did not know how it got there or why it was so voluminous. I can take away that sorrow, Louis. I can give you that death you begged your feeble, blind, degenerate, nonexistent god for. But I can do it… joyfully.
