Mark Hamill tells us about sinking his teeth into a guest role for What We Do In The Shadows season two

- Mark Hamill

MARK HAMILL EMBRACES THE DARK SIDE with his not-so-secret cameo in the new series of the acclaimed horror-comedy What We Do In The Shadows. The Star Wars star has a noteworthy guest role as an ancient vampire in the sixth episode of the second season, although the actor was surprised to discover that the blood-sucking nature of his character would be revealed before the episode aired.

“To tell you the truth, I thought they were going to keep the fact that I’m playing a vampire completely secret until the reveal of the show,” Hamill confesses to Red Alert. “When they sent me the script, I was fully expecting to play a member of the city council or a next-door neighbour – or somebody working at the Department Of Motor Vehicles [the US equivalent of the DVLA]. When I read that I was playing the vampire, I hit the roof. I immediately said, ‘I’ve got to do this.’”
