And no, I don’t just mean the Season 2 Premiere of Being Human (though we can’t wait for that)!  It’s time for us to renew our domain and pay our hosting fees.  It’s the time of year when we ask you for help.  We don’t get paid for doing this for Sam, we do it because we think he’s an amazing actor and musician, and an all around good person.  We pay for the domain and hosting out of our own pockets.  It’s not the biggest bill in the world, but it’s not the cheapest either, lol.

If you look in the sidebar to the right, you’ll see a button that says donate to support the Sam Witwer Fansite.  If you frequent this site, and like the information that we provide regarding Sam and his projects, please consider clicking on the donate button.  Even if it’s just a dollar.  Every little bit helps us to keep bringing you news and information about Sam.

When I spoke with the star of Syfy’s Being Human last year, Sam Witwer was ready to face some tough critics. He and the rest of the remake’s terrific trio were about launch a series that already had a small but rabid fanbase making their opinions known. “The first season was a lot of pressure,” he admitted. But with a successful first run under his belt, Witwer is excited for fans to sink their teeth into season two. During our phone call we chatted about his lucky break with Frank Darabont, geeked out over Star Wars, and teased a little of what’s ahead for vampire Aidan this year.

Sam Witwer is one of those performers who actually meant to get into acting, he just didn’t think it would be practical. “Instead, I decided to be a rock star,” he said of his youthful ambition, “and that was equally unrealistic.” While he did succeed in forming a band, who eventually released a CD in 2006, his parents weren’t sold on the idea of a music career. But oddly, they pushed him to audition for Julliard. “I didn’t really understand why, or what I was doing, then I got in.”

Since then, Witwer’s become something of a staple in genre entertainment, highlighted with roles on Dexter, Smallville and Battlestar Galactica. It’s something to which he credits his own fandom of the material, more so than a conscious career choice. “I remember someone said for Battlestar, one of the reasons everything went well with my audition was I pronounced everything right. I knew how to pronounce ‘Caprica.’”

That’s something that makes Witwer kind of a Hollywood conundrum. He’s got the chiseled features any model would envy, a soulful screen presence fit for all forms of drama, all wrapped around a giant nerd core. “Dude, I’m a huge Star Wars fan,” he said when I asked him about his work as Darth Vader’s secret Sith apprentice on the video game series The Force Unleashed and voice work on the film franchise’s animated spin-off The Clone Wars. “Huge. I grew up with those movies, it’s kind of in my DNA.”

His career gained more notoriety when he scored a role in Frank Darabont’s adaptation of the Stephen King novella The Mist. “I’m a very, very lucky person,” he said, as he started into a story about a woman dropping her groceries all over the street, and he being the only person who offered to help. When he made sure she got back to her office okay, the woman asked if he was an actor, and if he’d be willing to tape a quick audition. Given three scenes and fifteen minutes to prepare, he went through with it. It was later when his agent told him what he read for, and that Darabont just happened to see Battlestar Galactica for the first time a few weeks prior.

Switching gears to the new season of Being Human, Witwer is proud of the work he and colleagues Sam Huntington and Meaghan Rath have put on screen. Last July, the crew received a warm reception from fans at San Diego Comic Con. “It was really great to look the fans of the show in the eye and thank them for watching.” Even though we’re only one episode in, I had to pry about season two. Witwer confirmed plans are in place (“I’ve heard some interesting ideas”), but was tight-lipped about any specifics.

Where Witwer did share the details is what’s in store for his character in the coming weeks. Last season saw Aidan struggling between his old life with the vampire family of Boston, and his new life in the apartment with werewolf Josh and ghost Sally. With former big bad Bishop out of the way, things still aren’t getting any easier for Aidan. His vampire nature, treated like a drug addiction on the show, causes him to shun other vampires in an effort to stay clean. “This season, he doesn’t have that option,” Witwer said about his character’s efforts. “There’s a little bit of backsliding this season, unfortunately.”

He promises some character traits of the old Aidan will start to surface sooner rather than later. “We heard a lot in the first season that this guy was scary, and he was ruthless, and everyone was afraid of him. This season we get to see that. We get to see why people were afraid of him. We get to see that dark guy people talked about.”

Witwer also promised viewers will learn more about vampire society, which was touched on last year with the introduction of the Dutch, and in the premiere last week with the mysterious Mother coming to town. “These guys all have to hide, it’s not a very glamorous lifestyle,” he said, adding that things weren’t always so clandestine. “Back in the 30s, we get to see what events caused the vampires to all hide in the shadows. We get to see what part Aidan played in that story.”

I asked about the curious eating habits of vampires, most obvious being that many of them end up with kool aid mouth after each feeding. Witwer laughed, “It’s hilarious that you say that. Yeah, you’re absolutely right.” Seriously, it seems like unless Aidan’s drinking directly from his coffee mug, it ends up running down his chest. We agreed, in his more ravenous moments, it is completely character appropriate. “A blood orgy,” he called it. “That makes sense.”

Before I let him go, I had to ask Witwer how he pitches the show—a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost live together and try to teach each other how to be human—to other people he talks to. The concept’s kind of a hard sell to the casual TV viewer. He asked me what I do. I told him my strategy: give it one episode and if you aren’t interested in going further, I won’t bring it up again. “I think that’s the best pitch you can give,” he said. “You’re doing the same thing I would do with Battlestar. Here’s season one, you don’t have to watch the whole thing. Just watch 30 minutes and it’s all here in case you get intrigued.”

It seems like he’s doing  a good job based on some of the people he’s gotten hooked recently. “I don’t know if he’ll watch it, but he said he wanted to based on the pitch,” Witwer teased. “I pitched J.J. Abrams on the show. He started laughing and I said yeah, it’s crazy. He said no, I really want to watch that, it sounds like a show I want to watch.” Mr. Abrams, I think I know where you can get a copy.

Being Human airs Mondays at 9/8c on Syfy.

Sam as 'Crashdown' in BSG

Article by Curt Wagner at RedEyeChicago.com

*****

Growing up in the Chicago suburb of Glenview, Sam Witwer was actually preparing to play Aidan McCollin, the vampire roommate in Syfy‘s monster mashup “Being Human.”

“I hid out in my basement with my band so I didn’t see the light a lot,” he told me last week, only partly joking. “There it is. You know, everyone wonders, ‘Why the hell is he so pale?’ Well it’s because I’ve been training myself to be this pale.”

Witwer’s co-star, Sam Huntington, suggested that he “literally can’t get a tan now.”

“No, I can’t. I think I’ve lost the ability,” Witwer continued with the joke. “Yeah, my skin has lost the ability to create melanin.”

Witwer does have the perfect pale skin tone and buff body to play 250-year-old Aidan. The Glenbrook South High School grad wasn’t completely joking when he said that hanging out with his Love Plumber bandmates did, ultimately, help him with his current role.

“I actually am telling a little bit of the truth in that me and my friends were all night people,” he said. “And we wouldn’t wake up if we didn’t have to for school or something. We wouldn’t wake up until noon or [1 p.m.]. And we all knew, ‘Don’t call your buddy before noon, that’s rude. That’s not cool.’ So there’s my vampire training right there.”

Aidan, and his roomies, Josh the werewolf (Huntington) and Sally the ghost (Meagan Rath) will each explore the darker sides of their natures when Season 2 begins at 8 p.m. Jan. 16. Their individual journeys will lead to trouble at home—with each other—the actors said during a conference call with reporters last week.

“This season you will see a lot of tension between the three roommates because we all are on our own journey and trying to get ourselves out of these really desperate situations,” Rath said.

Witwer added that the roomies will be at each other’s throats at times, in scenes that he said were satisfying to film but also difficult because “I don’t like having to shout or be mean to Sammy or Meaghan.”

But, as was made obvious by their banter and teasing of each other during the call, the actors do get along famously, so they all feel those harsher scenes. “When it’s a really, really rough moment for one of us, it usually means it’s a rough moment for all of us,” Huntington said, adding another poke at Rath, “I usually give Meaghan a really hard time, but beyond that…”

Since the three main characters are tempted by the darker parts of their natures this season, I asked the stars how they manage to maintain the character’s humanity when playing those dark parts. Here’s what they said:

Meaghan Rath: I think for me it’s important to keep in mind that these are real people and not to get sucked into the supernatural element of the whole thing. What makes the show different is that we’re not playing into the supernatural stereotypes; we are trying to play these as regular people. So for me it’s a lot about just keeping in mind what I would do in this kind of situation and what’s great about the show is that it’s really acting, what would you do if you were put in this situation. I think that’s where the humanity comes from, just being a good person and being with these challenges that sort of question your morality and your values.

Sam Witwer: I think Meaghan is absolutely right with that. In television we’ve kind of seen everything including vampires, werewolves and ghosts and we’ve seen people get killed and all kinds of crazy stuff. What we’re trying to do as three actors is we’re trying to bring as much humanity into those events as possible. For example, if someone dies, hopefully we’re going to tell a story where you realize that that is an awful sacrifice or that something has happened that is really, really terrible.

It’s all about the character’s reactions and I mean these three characters are the eyes through which the audience watches the show. So we’re really trying to keep our reactions to all this giant supernatural stuff very grounded.

In terms of the dark stuff that comes up, I mean the messed up thing is that at first you’ll see our characters react with horror and shame and all this awful stuff. And then as time goes on you might see them kind of get used to it and that hopefully will be a very sad thing to watch.

Sam Huntington: I think you just kind of hit the nail on the head. A lot of times on the show I can say I think the characters are almost seeing these horrible things happen for the first time, so they’re almost like the audience. They’re viewing these things and so hopefully that’s what the audience can kind of grasp on to. As an actor it helps inform what you do. Because you’re like, “OK, well, what if this person was killed? What would the ramifications be? Emotionally what would that mean to me and how would that affect me and how would that affect every aspect of my life? So it’s cool. It sets the show aside. We don’t just roll over these issues, we actually tackle them.

Here are a few more highlights from the call, with the stars answering other’s questions:

With the absence of vampire leader Bishop (Mark Pellegrino, who will be back this season), Aidan is sucked into vampire authority matters and a new vampire played by “Dollhouse” alum Dichen Lachman. Said Witwer: “We go into some vampire authority matters and there are vampires that are much, much older than Aidan or even Bishop. We learn [more] about older Aidan, we learn about how he was rather than how he is and Dichen represents a lot of that in this season for Aidan. She represents a lot of what he wanted, a lot of who he wanted to be and she’s thrown back into the mix and the problem is that Aidan is now a different guy. So it’s like imagine that you had a really close relationship with someone back in high school and then you link up with them later. It’s not exactly the same as it was because you’ve both changed, that type of thing.”

Josh’s girlfriend, Nora, will be back right away this season. Huntington talked about Kristen Hager, who plays Nora: “I can tell you Kristen Hager is one of my all time favorite people to work with ever and one of the greatest scene partners and I’m such a lucky guy. You know I get Meaghan, Sam and Kristen, like I’m such a lucky guy.”

Rath talked more about the darkness of Season 2, in which Sally learns some dangerous new ghost tricks from some old (dead) classmates and meets a spooky, um, something: “Darkness this season is kind of a prominent theme and … for anyone, once you dabble in something dark that … consumes your consciousness, it’s hard to remove yourself from it.”

With both the US and UK versions of “Being Human” fast approaching their season premieres, it’s no wonder our news feed is full of stories about both of them. Up next we have a sneak peek of the Season 2 premiere of Syfy’s “Being Human”, entitled “Turn This Mother Out”.

In the clip we see Josh (Sam Huntington) expressing to Aidan (Sam Witwer) and Sally (Meaghan Rath) that he’d like everyone to try and act normal while his girlfriend, Nora (Kristen Hager), is around, which means no more flying mugs and vampire talks about Mother. Nora enters the room and asks if Sally is present and mentions that she found an invite to her high school reunion in the trash. While Nora can’t hear Sally’s response, she’s informed by Josh that she has reservations about going.

Watch this all new sneak peek to see if Sally will ever change her mind about attending, and be sure to catch the season premiere of “Being Human” on Monday, January 16th, at 9/8c on Syfy!

“Being Human” stars Meaghan Rath as ghost Sally, Sam Witwer as vampire Aidan, and Sam Huntington as werewolf Josh and is a Muse Entertainment production in association with Zodiak USA. It is based on the acclaimed British series “Being Human”, created by Toby Whithouse and produced by Touchpaper Television, part of Zodiak Media Group.

Executive Producers are Michael Prupas, Adam Kane, Jeremy Carver and Anna Fricke (both of whom are also writers/showrunners), Rob Pursey, and Toby Whithouse. Irene Litinsky is Producer.

Look for more on Syfy’s “Being Human” soon!

With the Bishop monkey off Aidan (Sam Witwer)’s back (at least temporarily), things should be looking up in Being Human’s Boston, right? Josh (Sam Huntington) and Nora (Kristen Hager) have been living the past month in somewhat denial bliss, now that she knows the truth of who– or what– he is; Sally (Meaghan Rath) figured out how to leave the house and is now ready to mingle with a selection of her once-peers; and Aidan should be the new head vampire in charge. But oh, if things were so simple, this would be a series finale, not a season premiere.

Being Human returns with its second season premiere entitled “Turn This Mother Out,” playing with the idea that though Aidan is no longer bound to a father figure who turned him, there is still a maternal one out in the world, presiding over all of her vampire children. And it is she who must determine if he is fit for rule, and if he is or not, what fate should befall those Bishop had been turning for his own army. Witwer wears Aidan’s conflict tightly on his face, proving that just because you eliminate a physical threat does not mean the problem is gone. Now Aidan has to find away to help those he sees as unfortunate victims in Bishop’s befallen end game, as well as find a way to get himself out…while overseeing the chaos in his house, of course.

Josh has other issues at hand– or, we should say, Nora has other issues that affect Josh. Residual effects from Josh’s scratch are starting to come to light now, a month after their encounter. After exhibiting some odd behavior that could mean one of two things (pregnant or turning herself), we get our not-at-all shocking answer. But the imagery that surrounds it is still fascinating because the actions taken upon the discovery set up a whole other line of dominoes sure to fall immediately and complicate things even further.

In what was a surprisingly touching turn of events from everyone’s favorite comic relief, Sally decides to attend her high school reunion, content to spy and stare openly at those she hoped to permanently leave behind, but once there she actually reconnects with a former classmate who also passed away too young. There may not be a chance to get revenge on the “mean girl,” but Sally gets her closure nonetheless. There are some very sweet moments here, with wisdom coming from an old friend who offers Sally the kind of meaningful interaction she has clearly been missing. We hope he’ll stick around because her roommates leave her on her own far too often (especially considering she can travel anywhere with them and no one would even know)!

“Turn This Mother Out” splits the gang up once again, each of them so focused on their individual issues, there is not much time for them to come together for anything more than a courtesy “check in.” But what it seems to set up is the problems are so unlike what any of these special beings have experienced before, eventually, they will realize turning to each other is the only way to get through. They may be strong, with their own unique skill sets, on their own, but together they are truly a force with which to be reckoned.

Being Human returns to Syfy on January 16th at 9pm.

If the frustratingly sluggish second season of The Walking Dead, with its interminable search for Sophia, has you wondering what might’ve been had AMC not unceremoniously ousted showrunner Frank Darabont, Sam Witwer sympathizes. It seems the series’ developer had big plans for the star of Syfy’s Being Human.

The 34-year-old Witwer, who played Crashdown on Battlestar Galactica and Doomsday on Smallville, appeared in the pilot episode of The Walking Dead as the undead soldier Rick encounters inside the tank on the Atlanta street. It was a minor, if memorable, cameo that Witwer told Paranormal Pop Culture Darabont hoped to spin off into a web series examining what happened before the city went to hell.

“He said to me, ‘Look, I think it would be really cool to tell a prequel story about how Atlanta fell, do Black Hawk Down, but with zombies, have a few main characters pass through, but the lead will be you. You’re a soldier and all these horrible things happen, and the chain of command breaks down, and, eventually, you have to take out your superior officer. Then, eventually, in the end, you get bit,’” Witwer, who previously worked with Darabont on The Mist, said. “He’s pitching me this. ‘You’re crawling and you crawl into this tank and you have a grenade and you’re going to blow yourself up, but you set the grenade next to you and you die. Then, we reprise the scene from the pilot, where Rick gets in the tank and there’s a zombie there.’

“If you look closely, I played that zombie, because we were setting up this prequel we were going to do. If you watch the pilot of The Walking Dead, that’s me in the tank as the zombie, and then Rick blasts him and he gets deafened, and he gets that grenade which saves him at the end of the season.”

But AMC apparently was looking to slash production costs, a demand that reportedly led to Darabont’s firing in July, and plans for the web series were scrapped.

“It’s not happening now. Why? Because AMC wanted to save a few bucks,” Witwer continued. “That is just one example of the kind of cool, awesome forethought, this guy has put into this show, that is now absolutely written off. For me, it doesn’t matter much because I’m busy doing Being Human. We were going to schedule things around. I’m not lamenting the loss of a job, I’m lamenting the loss of an amazing idea. And there are dozens and dozens of amazing ideas just like that, which are now gone.”

Of course, the network didn’t abandon the web series idea entirely: The six-episode Torn Apart, which delved into the back story of the Bicycle Girl, debuted in October, ahead of the Season 2 premiere.

The Walking Dead returns from its midseason hiatus Feb. 12.

Husband and wife team Jeremy Carver (Supernatural) and Anna Fricke (The Beautiful Life, Everwood) spoke with press Tuesday about the second season of Being Human on Syfy, which kicks off Monday, January 16 at 9PM. One of the themes that hangs over the second season and seen in the promotional teasers is temptation and how each of the roommates confront their monstrosity and how each is enmeshed in their own species that leads each of them down a darker path.

There is less of a safety net with each other because that support structure is not there for them when they come home. But don’t worry, there will be plenty of the three roommates in the same scene or a combination of the three. Josh and Aidan’s bromance will flourish as usual and the showrunners know that the three of the main characters in the house is the “beating heart of the show,” however, each character will be dealing with the fallout of the events of the Season One finale. For those that want to stay in the dark, beware of season two spoilers!

From season one - photo courtesy of Jill Greenberg/Syfy

Aidan (Sam Witwer) – must come to grips with the death of Bishop and Rebecca and this season we are introduced to another member of the vampire hierarchy called Mother who is like the Queen Elizabeth of the vampires. She offers Aidan freedom if he agrees to train her disgraced daughter Suren, played by season two regular Dichen Lachman (Dollhouse). Mother and Suren are biological vampires in the sense that it was Mother who turned her own daughter. Aidan has known Suren for about 100 years. We are also introduced to Aidan’s vampire protégé, the last vampire he turned who is played by Kyle Schmid (History of Violence). “And both of these people will greatly, greatly complicate Aidan’s life,” Carver said. “And will play a major part in sort of leading him down this dark hole that he may end up going down this season.”

Josh (Sammy Huntington) – is completely unaware that he scratched Nora and they both away the first full moon not knowing what to expect. Last season Josh came into contact with just two others like him. We are going to see an expansion of the types of werewolves, to show that there is more than one species. Josh’s past also comes back in unexpected ways.

Sally (Meaghan Rath) – deals with choosing to help her friend in need over her door and she is introduced to lots of different types of ghosts that show her a variety of spectral temptations. Also her passing up her door unwittingly brings specific ghosts looking for her. Like Josh, her past will come back to greet her in ways she was not expecting.

Nora (Kristen Hager) – Not to be forgotten is Josh’s girlfriend who is the unofficial #4 of the show, who Carver said is a “fantastically integral part of the show” who deserves more mentions. She will become more self-sufficient as a result of Josh scratching her and that will have “massive implications” on their relationship.

As we all know, some of the fun of Being Human was to see what carries over from other vampire, werewolf and ghost lore, but also the original spins on the three monsters whether it’s powers or abilities. I wanted to know how much they played with the traditional knowledge of these monsters and then adding to their legends.

“It’s always a balance right,” Carver said. “Because there are certain expectations. I mean part of the fun that goes back to the BBC series was particularly how they played with the vampires in that they could exist in sunlight et cetera, et cetera. hey took great, great liberties with their ghost character, Annie right, its name is Annie, in that she – not only should she – could she touch things but she could be seen by people if I’m not mistaken. I think their Season 2 she was totally able to be seen by folks.”

“We took our ghost character in much smaller steps but you’ll remember at the end of last season, one of the sort of like good-bad, immediate good-bad things that happened after Sally missed her door was that she discovered that she was able to connect more to Earthbound objects, which of course also implies that she is more Earthbound now that her door is gone. That’s the good and bad of it.”

“We’ll see in Season 2 Sally is able to basically interact with inanimate objects on Earth more, but we get a huge kick it out. Look one of our favorite, if not favorite scene from Season 1, was Josh and Aidan in the bathroom in Episode Seven when Aidan has that reaction to garlic, in which we spun that to be that, the garlic lore doesn’t actually ward off vampires, but that it was something that if a vampire eats garlic it would expose him even more.”

“We always tried to sort of take the lore and just try to do what makes sense to us.” Fricke said. “We just like to be able to follow it in a way that is going to make sense to us in a logical way. We have some new writers and they span from like huge genre geeks to straight up character writers so we’ll have a lot of notions flying around the room. There’s always one guy who’s like the BS detector, who like the big genre fans say, ‘Okay this guys, Does this make sense to you?’

“We all have a lot of notions that we like to play with, but we try to reign it in and make sure that’s following some kind of logic that keeps with what we set up before. We tried to be careful about that.”

Aidan - we dig him! (geddit??) OK, never mind...

I also asked Carver and Fricke if there would be other kids of monsters that would enter into the series and Carver said that they can’t speak to the entire series but as far as this season there will be more interactions with different species or types of vampires, werewolves, and ghosts rather than new monsters altogether.

“You’re going to see variations of the species we’ve already introduced,” Carver said. “But we’re not necessarily seeing new monsters. Everything is – say, you might see a third cousin type of werewolf that you have seen before or it’s in the same family tree of monsters, but we’re not introducing for example–”

“Fairies.” Fricke interjected. “It’s a tough call though, because, you know, once you’re in a supernatural world you’re saying that vampires and werewolves exist, but you don’t have to say other things do also. As a series notion we’re totally open to it, but we’re not going to see that this season.”

Based on the way the first season ended with Aidan inheriting the Boston chapter of vampires, I wanted to know how much we were going to see the Dutch elders and Terry Kinny as Heggeman as a recurring character.

“I think the Dutch play a pretty big role,” Carver said. “This year we’ll be introducing new Dutch characters this season. And as for Terry Kenny, you’ll definitely be seeing Terry Kinny and he will be involved in a very explosive storyline kicking off our season.”

Also returning this season is Josh’s sister, Emily. Bishop (Mark Pellegrino) will also return most assuredly in flashbacks but Fricke teased the press by saying, “He will return, but who knows what form?”

Other things revealed about Carver, Fricke and Being Human Season Two:

• The entire writing staff from Season One will return with the addition of four new writers, who will provide a even blended staff that specializes in genre, character writing, action, and dark humor. Carver and Fricke will be writing three of the episodes themselves.

• Carver and Fricke are inspired by early episodes of Rescue Me and Friday Night lights and try to get fellow writers on the staff.

• Both Carver and Fricke admitted that season openers are the trickiest to write and Aidan is the most challenging character to write as well as how they reveal the vampire politics and something they hope to be able to show more of but probably won’t get to it this season is the entire story and truth surrounding what happened to Aidan’s family.

• As far as vampires go, they try to show diversity by showing that men and women aren’t always feeding off of each other, that it’s more of a “anything goes” atmosphere where men can feed off of men and women can feed off of women too.

• Boston will be primarily the setting of the show but can vary with the flashbacks.
