ShadowsFX's HARVEYGUILLEN spoke with EmMaskell about *that* moment from Episode 7, and what it meant to bring this personal story to life:
has been a transformative journey. For the only human in a house of vampires, the Van Helsing-descendant Guillermo, the latestThe human familiar has long desired to be turned into a vampire by his master Nandor and roommates Laszlo and Nadja . Meanwhile, through the past four seasons, he’s also been coming to terms with his sexuality in a slow-burn story of self-acceptance.
It was like seeing a mirror to the idea of recalling my personal coming out, being queer, and how sometimes when the time is right, it’s just right. The way that it was written was so beautiful, it’s like being in the middle of two worlds. In the world where you’re accepted, the vampires have made it clear that they don’t care if you are queer, nothing’s better in life than loving, feasting, and fucking, and all of those things that the vampires love to do.
The whole scene played out in different ways, but one of the first times we did it, it was very emotional. I don’t even think we could have even used the footage because I was just a crying mess. Then the actress who plays my mom started to cry and then the whole family started to cry. They hugged me and it was a really great embrace. The edited version we have is because, at the end of the day, they’re making a comedy so they wanted to make it light but also make a great point.
I think that’s what’s great about our show, it took us four seasons, almost half a decade, to tell the audience that Guillermo comes out because it is good to see this slow burn. I pride myself on playing Guillermo where we sprinkle enough of him in each season that it is linear and cohesive to his trajectory. It’s important for me to do that because we’re making a comedy, but his story is human.For so long, there’s always the whispers and people asking you but it’s no one’s business.
This has been the one episode I’ve been keeping a secret from everyone. Just knowing it was coming, it’s like a coming out party for Guillermo. I hope this resonates with someone watching the show that might have a question of their own, for themselves or a family member, who might have not been open to the idea. I hope you open your minds and your heart to the love that surrounds you—you’re just denying the love for yourself if you don’t accept it.
