‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Star Harvey Guillén on Why Being a Vampire’s Servant Can Truly Suck (Video)

Being a human slave to a coven full of underachieving vampires can truly suck. Just ask Harvey Guillén, who plays Guillermo — a mortal assistant to a bunch of centuries-old blood-sucking misfits from Staten Island — in FX’s adaptation of “What We Do in the Shadows.” “We kind of do all the dirty work,” Guillén told TheWrap. “I’m not a vampire but I long to be a vampire, so I actually do whatever it takes to please my master.” Among his daily chores: Closing all the curtains during sunlight hours, making sure the coffins are shut ever so tightly, and procuring a never-ending supply of virgin blood, the undead’s dish of choice.
