Claes Bang was rushing from one project to another just before the coronavirus paralyzed the film industry. The reason was clear. After he won the European Film Award for Best Actor for The Square in 2017 he was in demand. He told HFPA journalist Tina Jøhnk Christensen that he filmed five movies and two TV shows over a period of 18 months: The Last Vermeer, The Glass Room, The Bay of Silence, The Affair, and Dracula. He brings a fresh touch to the legendary character. The Netflix show was created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.
