What We Do In The Shadows Movie Cast
Okay, let's talk about the absolute legends behind the movie, What We Do in the Shadows! You know, that mockumentary that's funnier than a cat wearing a tiny hat?
The Vampire Trio
Viago (Taika Waititi)
First up, we've got Taika Waititi as Viago. He's basically the group's slightly uptight, well-meaning, but utterly clueless leader. Think of him as that friend who always tries to organize game night but ends up making everyone play charades for six hours straight, with terrible impressions.
Viago just wants everyone to get along, even if it means dealing with centuries of vampire baggage and the occasional blood-sucking mishap.
Must Read
Vladislav (Jemaine Clement)
Then there's Jemaine Clement as Vladislav. Picture that ex who constantly brings up their glory days. He's trying to be intimidating, but mostly just comes off as a grumpy old man complaining about the Wi-Fi being slow.
He is haunted by "The Beast," but don't worry, it's not a scary monster. It's just a guy named Paul who Vladislav is too embarrassed to fight again.
Deacon (Jonathan Brugh)
And we can't forget Jonathan Brugh as Deacon! Deacon is the "young" rebel of the group. He loves knitting, and is a good cleaner, but doesn't do his duties.
He's perpetually trying to be cool. He reminds you of that teenager who dyes their hair black and pretends to listen to heavy metal, but secretly loves pop music.
The Supporting Cast of Creatures (and Humans!)
Petyr (Ben Fransham)
Now, let's not forget Ben Fransham as Petyr. This guy is a straight-up Nosferatu throwback. He is a bit scary, but is kept in the basement most of the time.
He sleeps in a coffin and barely speaks. He's like that weird uncle everyone pretends doesn't exist at family gatherings.
Nick (Cori Gonzalez-Macuer)
Then there's Cori Gonzalez-Macuer as Nick. He's the newly turned vampire who just can't seem to grasp the whole "being a creature of the night" thing.
He's like that friend who gets invited to a fancy party and spills red wine on the host's white rug within the first five minutes. He is annoying and always being told to shut up.
Jackie (Jackie van Beek)
And, of course, Jackie van Beek as Jackie, Nick's human friend. She's just trying to get by and hoping to become a vampire.
She is trying to get her friend turned too, but failing to do so. Jackie is like that person who is always trying to do you a favour, but actually makes things worse.
Stu (Stu Rutherford)
We can't forget Stu Rutherford as Stu. Stu is like the most helpful and kindest person ever. He is a computer analyst. You can't help but love Stu.
The vampires learn a lot from Stu. He is the glue that makes it all work!
