The memories of his life in Paris as much as when he was turned are juxtaposed against his current, combative on-camera interviews with vampire documentarian Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), making us voyeurs to his tempest of memories and emotions.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Reid commands the screen from starting to finish in a performance that showrunner Rolin Jones admits to IGN is his personal favorite of the actor\u2019s this season. \u201cHe&#8217;s extraordinary in [Episode 3],\u201d Jones tells IGN with awe. \u201cHe&#8217;s so fucking <em>good<\/em> in 3.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>More From the Chronicles<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Jones explains that they staged the documentary interviews with Reid looking straight into the camera in such a way that put Bogosian, his scene partner, about 30 feet away in a dark void. \u201cWhen these scenes line up on the decision sheet and also you&#8217;re doing this from page 40, that may be really disorienting,\u201d Jones says about what Reid faced. \u201cAnd also you&#8217;re block shooting, which suggests you are doing [Episodes] 3 and 4, so you do not know where you&#8217;re [in the story]. For an actor to give you the chance to carry a screen like that, in tight close-up, as if you happen to&#8217;re an <u>Errol Morris <\/u>subject, I feel there are only a few individuals who can pull it off. The variety of mini beats which are in there \u2013 outrageous and insane!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In reality, Jones says Reid questioned his ability to tug it off successfully. \u201cHe&#8217;s sitting there alone, staring into this box,\u201d Jones says. \u201cAfter those two days, he involves me and goes, \u2018I do not know\u2026 I do not know what I&#8217;m doing.\u2019 So I used to be like, \u2018I&#8217;ll go look.\u2019 I checked out the dailies that day, and I&#8217;m like, \u2018You are gonna be lost a few of this time of the yr, [just] proceed to do [it].

Within the book, Lestat relocates to Paris along with his childhood friend Nicolas de Lenfent. Within the series, Lestat by chance reunites with Nicolas (or as he calls him, Nikki) in Paris when he spies him busking as a violinist. They fall right into a passionate two-year relationship where Nikki (Joseph Potter) plays within the theater pit orchestra and Lestat cleans the theater and acts. However it all goes to hell after Lestat is turned by a stalker fan, the insanely obsessive vampire, Magnus (Damien Atkins). Afterward, Lestat goes back to Auvergne to show his ailing mother, Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle), only to return to seek out an increasingly depressed, distrustful and erratic Nikki. Tragedy ensues and leaves Lestat permanently anguished, as evidenced in his confessional retelling of his lover\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Jones acknowledges that changing Anne Rice\u2019s course of events is something he knows will \u201cprobably be just a little disappointing\u201d to book readers. Nevertheless, the showrunner explains that it was mandatory. Going back to after they opened the writers room for Season 3, he says the team knew episodes would should be &#8220;tighter and faster\u201d to be consistent with their rock-and-roll, roadshow energy. <\/p>\n<div class=\"display-title jsx-684634384 jsx-2659527929 quote-container\" data-cy=\"quoteBox\">&#8216;Within the version of the story we&#8217;re telling, it was incredibly necessary that Nikki had standing, and was something that will, to at the present time, haunt Lestat.&#8217;<span class=\"stack jsx-2959124702 jsx-326843967\"><span>\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cThe choice we made about Lestat&#8217;s family in Auvergne made it very difficult to come back back the subsequent episode and still be in Auvergne,\u201d he says of the revised pacing of Lestat\u2019s history. \u201cSo I said, \u2018He will Paris, go to Paris.\u2019 We re-engineered a few of those given circumstances, and squeezed in as many golden moments as you may. But within the version of the story we&#8217;re telling, it was still incredibly necessary that Nikki had standing, and was something that will, to at the present time, haunt [Lestat].\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In reality, Jones says the audience should return to <u>Season 1<\/u> and revisit Lestat meeting Louis in light of what happens on this episode. \u201c[Maybe], give it some thought less when it comes to Louis&#8217; version of regardless of the predator was taking, and more about trepidation?\u201d he says of Lestat seducing Louis. \u201cWhy it took six months, since the last time he was deeply in love with any individual, it didn&#8217;t end up well. So, hopefully these items keep talking to one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Jones can be quick to praise how well Nikki actor Joseph Potter was capable of sell with Reid their tragic love affair in so few scenes. \u201cI knew what he could do, and so I knew I could probably tell this in fewer and fewer scenes because I had such a volcanic actor,\u201d Jones explains. \u201cHe&#8217;s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/06\/19\/interview-vampire-lestat-nicholas-1781832151892.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img alt=\"null\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/a><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">Sam Reid as Lestat and Joseph Potter as Nicolas from Season 2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Their scenes together, and the way Reid portrays Lestat reliving those memories, is a window into essentially the most broken parts of the vampire in line with the showrunner. \u201cThis concept about [Lestat] being the individual that didn&#8217;t love the opposite as much as they loved him, I feel that is what haunts him essentially the most about Nikki,\u201d Jones says. \u201cNikki loved him more and he understands that, and it hurts him lots.

Per the knowledge laid out by <u>Talamasca agent<\/u> Raglan James (Justin Kirk) in \u201cToledo,\u201d Louis goes after Bruce (Damon Daunno), the vampire who assaulted Claudia after she went out on her own in 1923.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Jones says they knew from Season 1, after they showed the ripped-out journal pages from Claudia\u2019s diary, that they might revisit this story thread down the road. \u201cIt goes back to after we made the choice to try this assault on Claudia \u2013 that it may&#8217;t be a plot point,\u201d Jones says of the subplot\u2019s importance to the overarching story. <\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/section>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In portraying Louis\u2019 vengeance intimately, Jones says it reiterates the vampire\u2019s unresolved business along with his dead daughter. \u201cWe knew how this scene would go, and we knew very instinctively that it needed to be a dissatisfying thing,\u201d he says of the hollowness to Louis\u2019 revenge. \u201cIt was not going to be the achievement that he thought it could be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">However it results in some major revelations next week\u2026<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Remember to check back at IGN every Sunday for post-morts of The Vampire Lestat with Rolin Jones!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spoilers follow for The Vampire Lestat Season 3, Episode 3 &#8211; \u201cToronto,\u201d which is on the market on AMC and AMC+ now.
