Tobias Menzies
6 Actors Who Should Play Dr. Reid in The Vampyr TV Show
Tobias Menzies is one of British Theatre’s great contemporary actors, but he’s slowly worked his way from notable television performances and some movie productions as well. Fans of historical drama might remember him from the series Rome, and most recently for his dual performance of Frank/Jonathan Randall in Outlander, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination. He also played Edmure Tully in Game of Thrones.
We think that Menzies would be a superb fit for Dr. Reid for his experience acting in fantasy and historical drama. He’s certainly well versed in bringing to life characters from that sort of time-period. Perhaps most importantly, he’s the only actor here that’s actually had experience acting in a vampire-themed movie. OK, in Underworld: Blood Wars he played the Lycan Marius… but still, he knows the genre, right?
