We spoke w/ iamkieronmoore about today's episode of VampireAcademy, where Dimitri's true feelings lie, and what led him to that moment at the end.
From showrunners Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre, and based on the best-selling book series by author Richelle Mead, the Peacock original series Vampire Academy is set in a world with powerful Royals, half-vampire Guardians, and savage Strigoi, who threaten to tear it all apart.
KIERON MOORE: I watched the movie in the cinema, so that was a core memory for me, unlocked when I first got breakdown. I was like, “This is cool.” And then, I checked and was like, “Oh, my God, I’ve seen the movie.” It’s like a comfort movie. I watched it seven times, in between filming. This is a show with vampire mythology, it has court politics, and there’s friendship, romance and family. There are all of these layers that are intertwined with each other. What was it about this world and this character that most intrigued you? Was there an aspect of all of that, that you were personally most drawn to?
MOORE: I’ve boxed, all my life. I first went to a boxing gym when I was five years old. My dad was my coach. I started competing at 10, up until about 21. That was my whole life. I was always meant to be a boxer. And then, for whatever reason, my life took me different directions. I fell out of love with it, but it still a deep place in my heart. But then, coming to Dimitri, a massive part of his personality is told through his fighting.
MOORE: I was really challenged by that, for a long time. Even though I understood the dynamic of the books and understood the relationship, and you’re rooting for Rose and Dimitri, I was like, “This man that is so secluded, so enveloped in his work, why would he ever love a rule-breaker like that?” That was something I really spent a lot of time on. For me, Rose embodies a freedom that Dimitri’s never been able to achieve or understand. There’s an element of envy, but in a respectful manner.
Going forward, beyond that moment, what would you say to tease what’s next, in the last couple of episodes?
