The cast of AMC’s upcoming INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE series, based on the bestselling Anne Rice novel, just got a little bit bigger with actor Eric Bogosian (Uncut Gems, Talk Radio, Succession) joining the show as Daniel Molloy, an investigative journalist.
The series, reported to be coming to AMC and AMC+ sometime in 2022, follows Louis dePointe (Jacob Anderson, Game of Thrones), Lestat De Lioncourt (Sam Reid, Belle) , and Claudia’s (Bailey Bass, upcoming Avatar sequels) epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality. Rolin Jones of Friday Night Lights fame is the series creator, and will be the showrunner and writer for the series. The series will be produced by Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Halt and Catch Fire, Rectify) along with Jones, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice.
Bogosian’s character is an investigative journalist nearing the end of his career who’s given a second chance at the interview of a lifetime.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:
“In 1988, I hit my mom up for money three times to see Talk Radio in the movie theaters. I count Eric Bogosian as one of the half dozen artists who made me want to do this for a career. He is, for me, the dented car fender of the American Soul and I can think of no better actor/writer alive to play this role. I’m in total frothing geek mode about his casting,” said Jones.
Bogosian is best known as a playwright, novelist and actor. He wrote and starred in the play “Talk Radio” (NY Shakespeare Festival, 1987; on Broadway starring Liev Schreiber, 2007), for which he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award. For his film adaptation of the play, Bogosian received the Berlin Film Festival “Silver Bear.” His six solo performances Off-Broadway between 1980 and 2000 (including “Drinking in America”, “Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll” and “Wake Up and Smell the Coffee”) received three Obie awards and the Drama Desk Award. In addition to “Talk Radio,” Bogosian has written a number of full-length plays including “subUrbia” (LCT, Second Stage, also adapted to film), “Griller” (Goodman), “Red Angel” (Williamstown Theater Festival), “Humpty Dumpty” (The McCarter), 1+1 (New York Stage and Film). He is also the author of three novels, “Mall,” “Wasted Beauty” and “Perforated Heart” and a novella “Notes from Underground.” In April 2015, Little, Brown published “Operation Nemesis” Bogosian’s non-fiction account of the conspiracy that targeted and assassinated Turkish leaders responsible for the Armenian genocide.
As an actor, Bogosian has appeared in numerous films and television programs, most recently starring in the Safdie brothers film, Uncut Gems as well as featured roles in the HBO series Succession and Showtime’s Billions. He starred in Robert Altman’s The Caine Mutiny Court Martial, Oliver Stone’s Talk Radio, as Travis Dane in Under Siege II, as Eddie Nash in Wonderland and as Captain Danny Ross in sixty episodes of Law & Order: CI. In 2010, he appeared on Broadway opposite Laura Linney, Brian Darcy James and Alicia Silverstone/Christina Ricci in “Time Stands Still.”
