There's an incredible sequence at the end of the film with some incredible fire stunts. It's great fun but it's a little bit nerve-wracking as well, since there is an element of danger. I don't think I ended up getting on 'Fright Night' - I don't want to deny the stuntmen their credit - but I think all the various falling over, falling down stairs, firing guns, I managed to do myself. I like to get in it as much as possible and do as much as I'm allowed. Of course we have the safety of very capable stunt advisors and specialists and all these people who make sure you're not going to get hurt. Playing with guns, falling off things, and hanging on rope. It's kinda like playing cowboys and Indians in the playground, but real. I like getting dirty, its always fun to do that sort of stuff. SR: How was it doing the action scenes in the film - do you consider yourself an 'action-capable' actor? as with anything, you just try to tell that story and be part of that world, and serve it up with as much juice as you can muster. Hopefully a bit funny, hopefully a little bit of pathos. It helped that my Peter Vincent is a very different type of man than the Roddy McDowall one - so you kind of dispense with worrying about that hopefully quite early on and just try and create a character that is interesting and fun and complex.
If anything, the challenge is to be different.

You might face certain expectations about what that character's place in the narrative is, but beyond that you're kinda given free reign. With The Doctor and of course with Peter Vincent you're sort of starting anew with this character. In both circumstances it was about rebooting the character - that's always been the case in 'Doctor Who' since it first started: the next actor who takes over is kind of expected to start on page one, which I imagine is more difficult for a Sherlock Holmes or a James Bond, where there are certain expectations about that character. I think in both the situations we're talking about that I was a bit lucky. SR: Taking a look at this role, and your role as The Doctor, you seem to have a knack for taking iconic characters and making them very much your own. I hope Criss Angel doesn't think we're taking the piss out of him, making fun of him. I think there are similar or familiar motifs, but it's not based on anyone in particular. And I'm devastated if Criss Angel thinks that this is any way a reflection on him, because Peter Vincent is clearly a lot less successful - both professionally and personally - than I'm sure Criss Angel is. And I'm glad you brought it up, because I have heard people saying that this is some sort of Criss Angel rip-off. SR: One issue that's going to come up about this character is its possible connection to certain real-life performers and/or illusionists (specifically illusionist Criss Angel). This is, of course, a well-known (and loved) character - can you tell us about your take on Peter Vincent? Let's start off by talking about your character in Fright Night, Peter Vincent. Screen Rant: Good Morning - grooming went well?ĭavid Tennant: (Laughs) Grooming was exceptional! I feel very groomed! We had a chance to speak with The Doctor Tennant bright and early in the morning, when the actor was just coming off a 'grooming session.' Among other things, we discussed what it's like being challenged with stepping up and owning an already-famous character, what the new version of Peter Vincent is all about, and those long-standing rumors that the character is actually a caricature of a certain real-life illusionist:
When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent (David Tennant), a self proclaimed vampire killer and Las Vegas magician, to help him take down Jerry. Teenager Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin) guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Colin Farrell) is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths.
Take a look at that synopsis of the Fright Night remake:
