According to SFX, newcomer Damian Malony will be playing the lead vampire, Hal, in Series 4 of Being Human. In the interview, he was quick to dismiss comparisons to Mitchell.

“I’m actually playing an English vampire!” Malony told the magazine. “Very, very posh. Very upper class. A stiff upper-lipped Brit, which is a bit of a push for me [Irish] accent, but it makes it a lot more fun. I promise you, no! No, no, no – Hal’s not Mitchell 2. There’s a lot of back story to play with and I assure you he’s very, very different.”

“At the start, I’m a tweed suits man. Very, very well dressed. Pressed shirts and cufflinks. The best part about playing a vampire is you get all the best clothes. I know some people have raided Aidan’s wardrobe from last year, and helped themselves to some coats and some jackets.”

Back in July, it was announced that Andrew Gower had also taken on the role of a major new vampire called Cutler.
