An Actor Dies Before He Can Interview the Undead

The 1994 cult classic “Interview with a Vampire” is based on a book of the same name written by Anne Rice. Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst, and Christian Slater played iconic roles. But one name on this list would not be there if not for a tragic turn of events.
