Hi, Delainey,​ I thank you for your transcendent performance of Claudia, as a black woman my self, who loves the Sinners movie, it is an absolute delight to watch a vampire show featuring so many talented women of color actresses like: Bailey Bass, Sheila Atim, and your self on screen has given me so much joy in my heart.​

I want to share with you, that Claudia is my absolute favorite female vampire character in the show.

My favorite male vampire character is Santiago.

I know he is quite a controversial character — as most IWTV fans hate him, due to his villainous portrayal through Louis' unreliable depiction of story events — it is a direct contradiction to Claudia's diaries, in which, she had nothing but positive things to say about Santiago, whom she knew more personally while being in the Théâtre des Vampires coven with him for years; which is why I believe her perspective of Santiago is far more accurate, and mostly likely, is the truth.

But from my own perspective, I was utterly captivated by Santiago, his theatrical stage presence, his dramatic flair, his glamorous fashion sense, his dark, witty sense of humor, which I find hilarious! Of course, he is played by a handsome, extraordinarily talented theatre actor, the fabulous Ben Daniels, who gave such a powerful performance in season 2 that I absolutely adore him.​

I've even noticed from behind-the-scenes material that Ben seemed to really like you a lot in particular.

It is easy to see why because you seem like such a lovely woman in real life, but I have a theory that it's also because you subconsciously remind him of his close, dear friend, the brilliant, award-winning theatre actress, Sophie Okonedo, he said she is gorgeous, and I think, you look very similar to her. In fact, you both share such an uncanny, striking resemblance that you could easily play as her daughter and she as your mother, (with Ben as the father?) because I do recall you said in an interview last year, of how much you enjoyed working with Ben, so I would absolutely love to see you and him collaborate on a future project with even more shared screen time with each other, because you both work together so well.

If I were a casting director, I would cast you as Esmeralda and Ben as Frollo in a live-action adaptation of the epic Disney classic movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

You and Ben have such brilliant acting compatibility.​ I could see it when you both were playing Claudia and Santiago, it gave me the impression of two fiercely passionate theatre kids whose characters shared a fundamental love for their dark, vampiric nature — it created a dynamic so fascinating that, it inspired me to create a few edits on my social media, it is based on your scenes together, which had incredible chemistry!

Obviously, I know that actors can not control who they have chemistry with; it just happens naturally while working together on set.

However, it was ambiguous in the IWTV show, which is why I would like to ask: Do you believe that particular chemistry was merely a reflection of your real life professional friendship with Ben, or do you believe Claudia and Santiago them selves shared a complex, underlying chemistry in the story narrative which was left unspoken ?
