Who do you think is the better Lestat???

I know that you see Lestat in "Queen of the damned" as the storyteller and in "Interview with the Vampire" of Louis view!
I like Stuart Townsend more I love his acting...
What do you think???

There was nothing in Stuart's performance that made me say, "Ah, Lestat, wonderful!" He was just some vampire to me.

I am not a very big fan of Tom, but I thought he was perfect. He WAS Lestat. All the bad jokes, the laughter, the anger, the sadness, the confusion, the drama. He was a complete ass, which Lestat definitely is.

To me, accents don't matter. It's attitude.

Tom is the one I see when I read the books. Tom Cruise takes the cake.

I think Townsend plays a better vampire in general, but Cruise's interpretation of Lestat was more true to the books.
