Danny Houston is one scary vampire

Seriously where did this guy come from? I know he's acting royalty but it's like he burst onto the scene a few years ago and he's just totally intense. In 30 Days of Night he was like Bela Lugosi meets Nosferatu on steroids -- terrifying and yet charming. I really need a film journalist to interview him and find out what makes him tick. Oh wait, is there even such a thing as film journalism anymore?
