Being Human was my introduction to Sam Witwer. He was amazing in it & I loved him ever since.

Being Human was one of the best shows on air. I was absolutely gutted when it was canceled….

Syfy dropped the ball so often. Really enjoyed the Being Human series and Sam had some great scenes as Aiden.

I loved Being Human (US version)! The cast and characters were so great.

That is so badass that everyone had to do this stuff on there own. And they didn't go broke or anything. Witwer and Drew came in clutch, probably saved the show

Met Sam in person. Really cool and loves the fans and crew on his projects.

Sam’s performance in THE MIST was heartbreaking! His character’s death stayed with me the most.

Watching Sam at some points kinda feels like being alive to see Christopher Lee when he was dracula, like the guy has already done more than basically every actor out there, and he's not even going grey yet... We already have so many performances from him, yet you get the impression that we've barely even SEEN what this guy can do yet.

He's so great. Always gives every project his all and Being Human was spectacular bother UK and US.

Sam is awesome. I love that he geeks out even more than I do as a fan of certain things.

I loved Being Human (US version) so much I was so mad when it got cancelled. I thought the cast was so great.

Being Human was amazing....wish Scyfy made well written shows like this again

Just finished watching Being Human 💕 wish it had more seasons.

Being from the UK myself I remember the original Being Human and it was one of those original & rare concepts for a British TV Show to exist in a long time at the time it first aired in the UK which I became a huge fan of up until BBC in classic BBC fashion pretty much sabotaged the show leading to it’s cancellation too which was such a shame as it was really refreshing at the time for a British TV Show as usually 90% of our programming over here is pretty much nothing but boring lifestyle & reality shows, game shows, melodramas, crime and period costume dramas

Its been a while since I've seen either version but to me the UK one was just idk it felt lacking in gravitas. Felt more in the vain of the office US. Like all jokes tounge cheek and not enough drama. I loved US version a lot more

For a while there, I was like, "I love his work but this dude's too pretty to be a real nerd." And then he launches into a minutes-long analysis of Drew Struzan's work on the Thing poster and I gotta admit that if he is faking it, the man is doing an excellent job.

Oh man look up "Sam Witwer sets the record straight on George Lucas" a 6 minute unfiltered unbroken rant defending everything star wars and it is Amazing to listen to. Sam is so passionate about what he does and what he loves, major props.

I LOVED Being Human, both the SiFi and UK versions! Better than they had to be!!

I was crushed when this show ended; it just kept getting better.

Love Sam and Being Human. Drew Struzan, the legend!!!!

Michael I love these podcasts! Thank you!!!

Dude was really good in Being Human. Damn good show overall.

How is Sam Witwer not a major actor at this point?! Someone in Hollywood hate him or something?

He kind of tells you why in this, he is way too driven and willing to bypass execs and call them out on their bullshit. Entertainment execs don't really like it when "the talent" shows them up and does a way better job than them. He has a history of not backing down and maintaining his integrity in an industry that wants everyone to cowtow to the higher ups... Love the guy an his acting lol

Somehow it's unbelievable to me that SyFy made Battlestar Galactica and now makes Reginald the Vampire...

So, where the hell is this Struzan painting? Are you telling me SyFy didn't use it AT ALL?

Fuck dude this conversation is just wally west talking to starkiller

I NEED one of these posters. I’m looking now

Darn he must really be a vampire he looks the same 🤔

Sam witwer is amazing

I'm so used to it being called SyFy, that I didn't know what sifi was lol

Sci-Fi (SyFy) was more on a mission before it became another corporate subsidiary of whoever owns it. They dropped the ball on a lot of good shows.

Neat that an actor would show this kind of initiative.

Being Human was criminally underrated

So, ahh, I was looking at the "The Thing" lobby poster just now. I'm sorry but I think he was looking a bit too deep into the whole "hand" thing. In fact, given the time frame the artist was given to work on it, it all makes sense now.

Being Human (US/Canada) season 1 was basically the same as season 1 of the British original but with more episodes. Season 2 was probably the weakest, but seasons 3 and 4 were so good and ended the series pretty well. Both series have their strengths and weaknesses, but I prefer the North American one.

Sci-fi channel use to be amazing but it tries to go in so many directions without clear vision that it fails. When I was younger I got my dad to get cable so I could watch seaquest and then farscape, sg1. Now I haven't watched sifi channel in at least five years

No disrespect to Sam but I feel the UK version was infinity better.
