Kristin: Nice to meet you.
Alex: How’s it going?
Kristin: Good. How are you doing?
Alex: Hey, E!
Kristin: You got picked up.
Alex: I got picked up, I got picked up, man it’s awesome. Drew Carey is right there. Can you believe this? I’m really excited today. It’s a good day
Kristin: And you play a vampire? Is this correct?
Alex: I’m playing a vampire. I’m playing a guy called Mick St John, who has been given the gift/curse of immortality He is a vampire, but he is pretty reluctant. It’s not something he wanted. It’s an interesting struggle.
Kristin: Why are all vampires normally good looking?
Alex: I don’t know? Have you seen Nosferatu?
Kristin: No.
Alex: You should check that out.{Laughs} He’s not bad, that guy. But I don’t know?
Kristin: Are you saying that you are better looking?
Alex: I think, I think, I think ……
Kristin: Do I smell an ego?
Alex: As vampire, I think we keep our ugliness on the inside. Our behaviours are ugly. So we have to balance it out right.
Kristin: Do you just have a little bit of an accent?
Alex: I’m an Aussie.
Kristin: Using an American accent for the show?
Alex: I play an American in the show and I am surrounded ……. I live in America and I am surrounded by Americans
Kristin: There are no vampires in Australia. We have never seen that before?
Alex: No.
Kristin: That would be a little weird.
Alex: Australians don’t have the constitution for vampirism. We’re a little too, we’re too NICE, you know. Too relaxed to kill people daily.
Kristin: Too much effort, really to go and bite someone in the neck?
Alex: It’s like I have to hunt and stalk someone down, kill them, drink their blood, get rid of the carcass ……. go surfing.
Kristin: Just got to go surfing
Alex: I just go surfing
