What We Do In The Shadows Tv Cast
Our Favorite Undead Roommates: Meet the Shadows Crew!
Okay, let's be real. Have you ever watched a show and thought, "Wow, these people are ridiculously funny, but also, I think I know someone just like them?" That's What We Do in the Shadows for me. It's like looking into a slightly warped mirror reflecting your own chaotic friend group, only with more fangs and fewer budgeting skills.
The magic of this show truly comes from its hilarious cast. So, let's get to know the blood-sucking, energy-draining (but in a good way!) crew who make us laugh until our sides ache.
Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak): The Wannabe Conqueror
First up is Nandor. Imagine your friend who’s always trying to organize game night, but somehow manages to make it a historical re-enactment that only he understands. Now, picture that friend is also an ancient warrior who gets confused by pretty much everything modern. That's Nandor.
Must Read
He's got the heart of a (slightly misguided) lion and the brain of, well, a very enthusiastic puppy. You can always count on him for a grand pronouncement followed by total bewilderment. Plus, his undying devotion to Guillermo is hilarious!
Nadja (Natasia Demetriou): The Sarcastic Siren
Then we have Nadja, the vampire who says what we're all thinking. She's sassy, she's blunt, and she's definitely not afraid to tell you that your outfit looks like it was designed by a blindfolded bat.
But underneath the sarcasm is a deeply romantic (albeit slightly morbid) soul. Her relationship with Laszlo is truly... something else. It's like watching two immortal teenagers make out on a couch while plotting world domination.
Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry): The Sexy (and Eccentric) Rogue
Speaking of Laszlo, oh, Laszlo! He's the vampire version of that guy who plays guitar at every party, only he's been playing for centuries and his songs are... questionable. Think rocking chair, a top hat, and a whole lot of "bat!"
He is a man who loves to create, be that topiary or, as we all know, porn. And who can forget his love for Nadja? And, of course, his alter ego Jackie Daytona, a regular human bartender.
Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch): The Energy Vampire Extraordinaire
Now for something completely different. We have Colin Robinson. He may not have fangs, but he's arguably the most terrifying vampire of them all. How? He bores you to death... literally.
He drains your energy with his dull conversations, his mind-numbing emails, and his uncanny ability to find the most tedious facts imaginable. He's the reason you pretend to be on a phone call when you see someone coming down the hallway.
Guillermo de la Cruz (Harvey Guillén): The Long-Suffering Familiar
Last, but certainly not least, there's Guillermo. He’s the familiar who’s basically the house manager, bodyguard, and therapist all rolled into one eternally patient package. He takes care of the vampires and keeps their chaotic lives afloat.
Let's be real, he's the only reason they haven't burned the house down (or worse) yet. The poor guy has spent years waiting to become a vampire, and now he is a vampire slayer, what a turn of events!
Why We Love Them: They're Us, But Funnier!
So, there you have it – the lovable, laugh-out-loud cast of What We Do in the Shadows. They are a group of dysfunctional friends who are just trying to make it through, even though they are centuries old and feed on blood.
Ultimately, that's what makes the show so great. The cast and the writers help us find the humor and humanity in even the most bizarre situations. So, next time you're looking for a good laugh, invite these undead roommates into your living room. You won't regret it!
