Ben Schwartz had a few reasons to be excited about being a part of Renfield, a new horror-comedy that sees Nicholas Hoult's titular lackey try to free himself from his master Dracula. One, of course, was working with Nicolas Cage, who brings the iconic vampire to life...
"It was amazing. The first scene we had, he literally choked me. He picked me up in the air and choked me and it's so great because, just the idea of doing a scene with Nic Cage is so exciting, but then to see Nic Cage's Dracula firsthand? It's bananas," Schwartz tells GamesRadar+. "Funniest part is, in between scenes, he and I would go to our little actor chairs but he's still dressed as Dracula so it's just me, looking at him talking about the weather... huge fingernails, blood on his face… It was awesome."
