We chat with Minnie Driver (driverminnie), star of WonderyMedia's TheLesserDead, about the adaptation of Christopher Buehlman's novel, making her dramatic podcast debut, and more:

Christopher Buehlman's chilling supernatural novel The Lesser Dead is getting new life as a dramatic podcast. The story centers on an eternally-young 19-year-old vampire whose cushy existence in 1970s New York comes under threat by a dangerous new breed of bloodsuckers looking to stake their claim to the underground colony of creatures.

Minnie Driver on The Lesser Dead & The Witcher Future Screen Rant: I am very excited to talk about The Lesser Dead, it has quite a unique supernatural twist. What about it really sparked your interest? I was going to say, you're no stranger to voiceover work, whether it be Tarzan or even more recently with your own podcast, but what is it like getting to the heart of a character who primarily only exists on the page rather than a full, in-life person?

Minnie Driver: It's really just doing it and seeing what works, you're not burning any film or whatever the digital equivalent is, you're not burning any time. You can find it and see what works. It's interesting having a director who does that, like Dan Blank, he knew it's a different thing when you're being an auditory director, because you're sort of listening for where the balance is, as opposed to looking for what the image looks like.

I'm a fan of your work, but off the top of my head, I cannot remember if you've ever done an Irish accent. What was it then like getting to actually interact with Jack in person and learn about each other, as well as discuss the characters with one another?
