On The Man in the High Castle, Brennan Brown plays antiques dealer Robert Childan — a recurring character in the first season, but now a series regular. But, more importantly, Brown can recite the entire script of Nicholas Cage’s Vampire’s Kiss. We can only hope this talent is somehow incorporated into a future episode. Ahead, Brown answers some important questions.
