An Interview With ‘The Originals’ Actor Chase Coleman

I had the opportunity to ask actor-musician Chase Coleman a few quick questions, and of course I couldn’t pass that up. Some of you will recognize him from his reoccurring role as the renegade werewolf, Oliver, from the popular series ‘The Originals’. Chase also played the role of Billy on the show ‘Boardwalk Empire’, but then again Chase has had many roles. You should know, his world is not only about acting, he’s a musician as well and often holds concerts at the conventions he attends. KM “How old were you when you decided you wanted to be an actor ?” CC “Seventeen years old.” KM “What was it like playing your first role in ‘Scarlett’ ?” CC “Mind Blowing :P” KM “In the hit show ‘The Originals’ you play the role of Oliver, a werewolf. Where did you draw your inspiration from?” CC “Enjorlas from Les Miserables” KM “What was your favorite part of being involved with ‘The Originals’?”

IFC Midnight Presents Dementia Coming To Theaters Soon

George’s son Jerry (Peter Cilella) and his granddaughter Shelby (Hassie Harrison) persuade him to hire a live-in nurse, not knowing she is hiding a sinister secret. ‘Dementia’ stars Gene Jones of ‘The Sacrament’, Peter Cilla (Resolution), Marc Senter (Red, White & Blue), Graham Skipper (Almost Human), Molly McQueen (Carjacked), and Tony Denison from the series ‘The Closer’. Producers Raphael Margules and J.D.

A horror film with real characters, drama, and tension, with scares coming from suspense and atmosphere, rather than jump scares and general gratuity. If Contracted made people afraid of being intimate with strangers Dementia will make them afraid to trust people altogether.” IFC
