Der garstige Hobbit in einem Interview:
You have The Strain premiering on FX this summer, which is quite creepy and unsettling. When you read the pilot script for that, what was it about that show and character that made you want to get involved?
SEAN ASTIN: Well, I saw Pan’s Labyrinth, so when my agent called and said, “Guillermo del Toro wants to meet with you,” I said, “Yes!” He said, “Well, go meet with him.” And I said, “I don’t care what it is. I don’t care if I’m an extra. I don’t care if I have to clean toilets. Whatever I have to do, the answer is yes.” So, I went over to meet with him and Carlton [Cuse], and they basically asked me to be in the show. They said they wanted me to be in the show. And I said, “Yeah, I wanna do it!” So, I read it and liked it, and they explained what the part was. I listened to the books on tape, which were so great, and read by Ron Perlman.
