On Saturday, we caught up with Robert Maillet (The Strain, 300, Pacific Rim, Sherlock Holmes) at Indianapolis’ HorrorHound Weekend, an annual convention that allows horror fans to get close and personal with some of their favorite genre actors. Maillet currently portrays the Master, an ancient vampire and the show’s Big Bad, on FX’s hit new series The Strain. He sat down to dish about his character’s big reveal, the brilliance of Guillermo del Toro (executive producer) and what he thinks the Master does to help him sleep at night.
本周日，我们在印第安纳波利斯市的HorrorHound Weekend上逮到了Robert Maillet(参演过<The Strain>,<300>(《斯巴达300勇士》),<Pacific Rim>(《环太平洋》),<Sherlock Holmes>(《夏洛克》))。印第安纳波利斯市的HorrorHound Weekend是为方便恐怖迷亲自近距离接触他们最爱的演员而举办的年度庆典。Maillet目前饰演的角色是血祖，是个古老的吸血鬼，也是FX热播新剧<The Strain>中的大坏蛋。他坐下来与我们爆料了许多该角色的信息，还谈到了吉尔默·德·托罗(执行制片人)的横溢的才华，他还表示他对血祖一角的看法还对他的睡眠有所帮助。(不是吧???)
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY COMMUNITY: The Strain has been a colossal hit for FX. Have you been surprised by the show’s success?
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY COMMUNITY：<The Strain>一剧为FX台创下了巨大收视。你有对这部剧的成功感到惊讶吗？
ROBERT MAILLET: Yes and no. It’s new for me, being a part of a series. The books by Guillermo del Toro were amazing, so I knew it was going to transcend well into the series because they honored the books so well. They spent so much time to make the series unique and special.
ROBERT MAILLET：可以说有，也可以说没有。参与电视剧拍摄对我来说是头一次体验。吉尔默·德·托罗写的书简直赞爆了，所以我知道能拍出一部好剧，因为他们很重视原作。他们花费了大量时间，只为拍出一部独一无二的剧。
You also worked with Guillermo Del Toro on Pacific Rim. He’s known for putting a dark and twisted spin on his projects. What is it like working with him?
你也曾在<Pacific Rim>中与吉尔默·德·托罗合作过。他以作品带有黑暗和扭曲元素而闻名。和他合作感觉如何？
First of all, he’s a very nice, very funny man. He has an amazing imagination. When he starts to talk, you just want to shut up and listen to him because it’s fascinating when he talks about his world he creates. He does everything. He’s involved in the art, the special effects, and he’s hands-on with everything in the film department. He’s a genius. This is 20 years of research from Guillermo. He’s been fascinated by the whole vampire mythology from around the world, and he just made his own.
首先，他人不错，也很幽默。他想象力惊人。只要他一开口，你就只想闭上嘴听他说个够，因为他描述出的那个由他创造的幻想世界太迷人了。他一切都办妥了。他管艺术设计，也管音效，影视部的什么东西他都插手。他是个天才。这部剧是吉尔默20年来的研究成果。他一直着迷于世界各地的吸血鬼神话，现在他也创作出了他自己的版本。

Vampires in pop culture are all the rage these days, but what do you think about the new “horror and gore” spin The Strain is putting on them?
吸血鬼这个东东时下已是一烂大街元素了，那么你怎么看<The Strain>中的“恐怖与血腥”？
My family, they love the sparkly vampires. They love The Vampire Diaries and the Twilight series. There’s a reason for that, and it’s very popular—and that’s fine—but we’ve given a different alternative to vampires. They can be very scary and terrifying. These vampires are not cute and sparkly; they’re disgusting.
我家里人，他们喜欢看漂亮的吸血鬼。他们喜欢<Vampire Diaries>(《吸血鬼日记》)和<Twilight>(《暮光之城》)。这是有缘由的，它很受欢迎——这样是很好——但是我们要拍的是另一种不同风格的吸血鬼。它们会很可怕，很吓人。这些吸血鬼不惹人怜爱，也不漂亮；还很恶心。
Very disgusting. Joan is quite possibly the most horrifying-looking vampire we’ve ever seen.
非常恶心。剧中的Joan(律师女)是我看到过的长相最恶心的吸血鬼。
They did great with her. She terrified me. It was the first time I saw her in makeup on the episode, and I thought, “Wow. [Leslie Hope] did a great job.” The people involved in creature effects are amazing people.
他们给她画了个很棒的妆。她吓到我了。我第一次见到她那个扮相时，我在想，“哇欧，(Leslie Hope)真不容易。”弄上了怪物效果后的家伙们都惊到了大家。
Let’s talk about the Master. We finally get to see his face at the end of the most recent episode, “The Disappeared.” It looks like a lot went into transforming you into that character.
来说说血祖把。最近几集中，我们总是在末尾看到它露了几幕脸。从<The Disappeared>这集(第9集)中能看到你化妆成了那样的角色确实不容易。
Yes. The first time I saw the concept art, I thought, “This kind of looks like me, but it’s not. This looks like the Master.” There’s a lot of homage paid to Nosferatu, the remake. The detail in the makeup process is fascinating, especially the gullet I have to wear. I also have to wear 3- to 4-inch platform shoes in costume to become a full 7 feet tall. They used Roberto Campanella (choreographer) as the Master for certain scenes when the Master’s body needed to be contorted or fit into smaller spaces. Roberto taught me a lot and helped me to move as the Master, as a vampire. That really helped me to get into the character as well.
是的。我第一次看到概念艺术(石膏像)时，我就在想，“这有点像我，但又不像是。这是血祖的样子。”重塑造型时，有许多向<Nosferatu>致敬之处。化妆过程的细节很有趣，尤其是我还要带上一个大脖套。我还要穿上一个3到4英尺高的鞋子才能变成7英尺高的样子。在某些需要使血祖进入狭小空间的场景中，他们换上了Roberto Campanella(动作指导)饰演血祖。Roberto有教我很多，告诉我血祖要怎样走位，吸血鬼要怎样走位。这些对我(尽快)入戏帮助极大。

Later in the series, will we learn more about the Master’s origins?
在剧集后半部分中，我们能得知更多有关血祖起源的故事么？
You’ll find out a little bit about him, of course, but they won’t give too much away this season. You’ll eventually find out what he’s doing here.
你对他的了解会多一点。不过当然，在本季里他们不打算演太多东西。你最终可以知道他在这里干些什么？
What was the meaning of the Master giving Thomas his worm in the last episode? Was it a promotion of sorts?
在前一集中，血祖给Thomas(德国西装男)虫子是什么含义呢？还是说算是某种(吊胃口)的宣传？
I can say that I think there’s a reason why the Master chooses people. Thomas can organize people.
我敢说血祖选人肯定是有眼光的。Thomas善于组织和领导别人。
We rarely get to see The Master. What would you like to think he’s doing in all his spare time? Playing Risk with Thomas in the sewers?
我们看到血祖的机会不多。你觉得它平身都在忙什么？和Thomas在下水道里碰运气玩么？
He’s probably watching reality shows, and it makes him feel better about taking over the world.
他可能是在看实况节目，这使它觉得(一步步)征服世界的感觉很棒。
Do you think Thomas got him all set with a WiFi password for his laptop so he can watch Netflix?
你觉得Thomas给它找了台电脑，还告诉了它WiFi密码，方便它用Netflix看节目么？
[The Master] has his own WiFi. He has his minions and he sees through them. That’s his WiFi.
(血祖)它自带WiFi功能啊。它有自己的小兵，它能接受它们眼中的画面。这就是它的WiFi。
You should pitch this idea to Guillermo. I think he’ll go for it.
你该找吉尔默说说这个点子。我觉得他会愉快采纳的。
Oh, I think he will. He loves that stuff.
惹，我觉得它会的。它喜欢那一身行头。

The Entertainment Weekly Community is all about fandom. Are you, or were you ever, a super-fan of any TV series or movie franchise?
整个娱乐周聚会都是粉丝们的天下。你自己是，或者你曾经也是超级电视迷或者超级电影周边迷吗？
I used to love Conan the Barbarian. He doesn’t have superpowers, but he’s powerful. His mind is cunning. I always found that character fascinating. I used to watch a lot of Star Trek and I used to be a fan of Space: 1999. And I love Bond—the James Bond movies. I grew up watching them, so it would be a dream to be a part of a film like that.
我以前爱看<Conan the Barbarian>。他没有超凡的力量，但是他很厉害。他头脑精明。我一直为这个角色所着迷。我还看过很多集<Star Trek>(《星际迷航》)，我还曾是个<Space: 1999>(《太空：1999》,没听说过...)的粉丝。我喜欢邦德——007电影。我从小看到大，能参演那样的电影是我的梦想。
The Strain has already garnered its own group of superfans, as evidenced by the eager fans that swarmed Maillet’s booth at HorrorHound, hoping for a picture with the Master himself. We can’t wait to see what the ancient vampire has in store for the people of New York City next!
<The Strain>现在也开始吸粉了，这一点可以从粉丝们的表现中看出。急切的粉丝在HorrorHound向Maillet所在的小亭子一拥而上，争相希望与血祖本人合个影。我们迫不及待地想要马上看到这个古老的吸血鬼接下来将会为扭腰市的人们预留什么(惊喜)！
The Strain airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. on FX.
<The Strain>每周日晚10点，FX频道不见不散。
