Kayvan Novak Interview
Kayvan Novak Interview on What We Do in the Shadows” series.
Had you been familiar with the movie, when this TV series came up?
NOVAK: Yeah, I was a big fan of the film.
What was the audition process like? What did they have you do, when you were in the room with them?
NOVAK: I didn’t meeting them until I got the part, so it wasn’t until I did the pilot that I actually go to meet them. It was very much, “This is the script, but don’t worry about the script. We’re gonna come up with new things, and you can improvise lines. Keep it natural, and we’ll throw ideas at you.” It was a constant evolution, doing it.
Did you get actual scenes for your audition?
NOVAK: I auditioned in London, and it was just a scene. On the breakdown, it said, “You don’t have to wear fangs, but if you want to wear fangs, then wear fangs.” So, I went out and bought some fangs, I did my hair like Fernando does his hair in the show, and I wore a white shirt with the top button done up.
Did you spend a lot of time working with the fangs, before you did the audition?
NOVAK: No, only on the day, actually. It was fine. It was all right. It wasn’t too bad. I was just worried about them staying in because it was one of those home fang kits. If they’d fallen out, I would have had to have been like, “Oh, I’m not really a vampire.” I just read the script in the voice that I was gonna do.
Was the voice that you decided to do what we hear now, or has it evolved a bit?
NOVAK: It’s as it was in the audition, yeah. I made that choice, early on, and no one told me to change it, so that was good.
It’s cool that they’re so collaborative.
NOVAK: Yeah, totally. That’s what’s exciting about working with them. They’re never like, “This is what’s funny, so do it like that.” They’re eager to be surprised. They always want to be surprised. They always like to keep things fresh. You’ve gotta play, when you come to the set. It’s playtime.
Have there been times that you would just keep going with scenes, and then it all actually ended up getting used?
NOVAK: I don’t know yet because I haven’t seen it all. I don’t know what’s been left on the cutting room floor, but I remember doing lots of long takes of stuff. It’s the most immersive show that I’ve ever worked on because you’re in those costumes, on these incredible sets, or you’re outside, in the middle of the night because you’re a vampire and you can’t be exposed to sunlight and you’re just living it. It’s escapism, at its finest.
Do the costumes ever get challenging to wear, especially when you’re out in the world in a long cape?
NOVAK: I really enjoyed wearing my costumes. There were a couple of times where I left my long johns on, for an indoor scene in a room with candles everywhere, which suddenly would get really hot, but I was thankful for the long leather boots, on those cold Toronto winter evenings, at three in the morning.
This show has some incredible sets. What’s it like to be in and surrounded by all of that?
NOVAK: It’s totally immersive because you’re not just walking onto a set that’s built in the corner of a room. You’re walking into a room that leads into another room that leads to a staircase, where you can walk upstairs, and that leads to bedrooms and taxidermy and chandeliers, and all sorts of things. If they do any more of this, they should do a VR tour of the set because it’s incredible. It’s incredibly detailed. Every picture on the wall is like a 14th century oil painting, but it’s got Natasia [Demetriou]’s face in it. The attention to detail is incredible, and the art direction is incredible.
