Dougray Scott
6 Actors Who Should Play Dr. Reid in The Vampyr TV Show
True to his name, Dougray Scott is a Scottish actor, but we’ve no doubt he could pull off a 1900s English gentleman a la Dr. Jonathan Reid. And his experience acting in science fiction drama such as the BBC production Day of the Triffids and AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead suggest he’s likely comfortable playing the role of an anti-hero vampire.
Scott’s career has been highlighted by appearances in some big name movies, such as Taken 3. His resume might well have been even more distinguished, however. He was heavily linked with portraying James Bond in Casino Royale before Daniel Craig was confirmed for the role. And more recently, he was offered the role of Wolverine, but the production of another film he was working on ran overtime and prevented him from accepting.
If Vampyr gets the treatment it deserves in this upcoming TV show, it could prove a suitable platform for Scott to make his mark.
