Victoria Smurfit: 'I loved my role in Dracula – now I have fans in the States'

Dublin actress Victoria Smurfit has said she loved playing temptress Lady Jane in Dracula, because it made her feel sexy.

The Irish star played a kick-ass vampire killer in the series, alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

“It was fantastic, I loved it, and I took secret delight in the fact that I turned 40 playing this dynamic, strong, Machiavellian, physical, sassy woman who took no prisoners,” she said.

“She had so few boundaries and I loved that.”

Victoria also admitted she didn’t mind revealing too much skin on the show.

“It’s just part of the job, sometimes it’s part of the story, sometimes it’s not and it’s just gratuitous,” she told the Herald.

Despite the show being cancelled after just one season, Victoria said the fan base is huge.

“I’m kind of staggered by how many people did watch Dracula over in the States,” she said.

“The fans are so full of desire to get it back and they’re really hard-core. That was just a new genre element to it that I’ve never come across which was just incredible.”
