Being Human (US) - Sam Witwer Inteview

Thanks to Philomina for the heads up.

1. How did you get the part of Aidan on "Being Human"? Did you and Sam Huntington read together?

I was at a surprising advantage because by the time I showed up to the screentest, the showrunners had already told me I got the part, so I was just having fun. Sam Huntington shows up and... well, you've seen him, he's hilarious. But what's so funny is that when Sammy gets nervous, he gets louder and talks faster. He was told in the waiting room to keep it down more than three times.

In any case, it was clear it had to be him because he was easily the funniest. Some felt the role needed to be more serious. The thing is, you can tell the funny guy to be more serious provided he's any kind of actor. You can't tell the serious guy to be funnier.

2. We just found out that Aidan was dating Joshs ex-fiancée Julia. Can you tease a little bit about what is going to happen in Aidans love life this season?

Aidan's love life. Yeah. That's a pretty broad topic (pardon the pun). I'll say this. What Aidan should be investing in is someone like Julia. What Aidan actually does invest in is harmful to his say-no-to-drugs lifestyle.
