Who he plays: I play Michael Emerson. He's just a kid who's trying to figure out where he belongs. [...] He's a kid who is maybe about to leave the house, and he just moved to a brand-new town. He's realizing he has an identity outside of where he lives, and he's struggling with that.

What people should know about the show: People hear our show and they think vampires, but the truth is our show has a ton of heart. [...] You're going to cry at the end of it.

Favorite vampire: Edward Cullen. Period.

Who he plays: I play Sam Emerson. I'm a witty 14-year-old kid, a freshman in high school. I love comic books and I love my family. I don't love Santa Carla [...] but as long as I'm next to my family, I know I'm going to be okay.

What people should know about the show: We're a freaking rock concert! We still have some musical theatre stuff in there, too, but we are a rock concert.

Favorite vampire: I was just reading about one in a comic book yesterday, [but] I can't remember the name!

Who he plays: David has the honor of being a lead singer of a band, but secretly, he is the leader of this vampire group. He's been around for 80 years. He's immortal. He is so tired, but at the same time, trying to find anything that can keep him living and loving life.

He's trying to find a sense of family, so he's finding it in people like Star and his brothers that are the Lost Boys. He finds Michael, who he really resonates with, and is trying to bring him into this group by any means possible.

What people should know about the show: It's about this group of boys that is never going to grow up [...] but beyond that, this has nothing to do with Peter Pan.

Favorite vampire: I keep shouting out Sam Reed, who plays Lestat in the new Interview with the Vampire series. It's one of my favorite performances of all time.

Who she plays: I'm playing Star, who is a part of the Lost Boys, a part of the band. She is lost and trying to find herself. She has the wonderful opportunity to meet Michael, and he changes her life. She has a lot of walls up, but she's also someone who is willing to try.

What people should know about the show: We do fly!

Favorite vampire: Wesley Snipes, Blade. It's incredible. It's the clothes, it's the looks; he's got the look down.

Who she plays: [I play] Lucy, mom of the two boys. Santa Carla is my hometown; I moved away, had kids, [and am] coming back to have a fresh start. No idea how beyond that, or what to do, or how to survive. I'm a little bit in survival mode. And then I meet this guy [Max] who consistently throws me bones and anticipates what I need before I even really know I need it.

What people should know about the show: I missed the movie growing up because it was scary [...] I watched it more recently. The movie, now, for me growing up in that time, is beautifully nostalgic, and that is maintained in this show too.

Favorite vampire: Sinners as of now. They've usurped the top position.

Who he plays: I play Max, and I own a video store in Santa Carla on the boardwalk. I spend a lot of time by myself watching movies, taking care of the store. So when Lucy walks into my life, it's like sunshine in my day.

What people should know about the show: Honestly, my first impression was: How did they make a vampire musical work? For some reason, we buy it on film over and over and over again. It's really hard not to make it silly on stage, and they've done it. They've made it fun, they've made it scary at times, and they've given it depth.

Favorite vampire: There's a Swedish film called Let the Right One In that's a little boutique vampire film. It's amazing. They adapted it for U.S. audiences and called it Let Me In — also a good movie, but I recommend the Swedish one. The vampire is a little girl; it's badass.

Who she plays: I play Alan Frog, one half of the Frog brothers. [...] We've deemed ourselves the protectors of this town. The cops, to us, aren't doing anything. So who better to save all the humans here than a couple of kids, you know?

What people should know about the show: The show is about family and these themes of belonging and exploring what it means to be human. That threads in with vampires and their struggle with that.

Favorite vampire: The classic: Edward Cullen from Twilight. That was my first exposure to vampires, and I like the idea that their skin sparkles in the sun.

Who he plays: I play Edgar Frog. We are here to vanquish evil, destroy all vampires.

We were the first ones to really believe in the vampires, know that they exist. We bring Sam along on a journey, and we work together to save Santa Carla.

What people should know about the show: It's not necessarily a story about vampires, but vampires are in it.

Favorite vampire: My recent favorite is Sinners. I also really like Blade.

Who he plays: I play Dwayne, one of the Lost Boys, and I play the bass. I'm in the band, and we're an aesthetic rock in the show. [...] My character is creepy-crawly, silly.

What people should know about the show: We are, in fact, bringing the '80s — nothing held back there. I'm still getting used to the costuming and the hair and all the things, but it's fantastic.

Favorite vampire: The Vampire Diaries — team Damon! My wife would kill me if I didn't mention that. It's my first watch-through, and I've been really taken with it.

Who he plays: I'm playing Marco. I'm the guitarist in the band.

What people should know about the show: The vampires are an allegory of time and immortality and what that means in terms of what we do with the time that we have. That's really the big question of the show: What meaning do we derive from our lives? What can we do with the time we have? Who do we surround ourselves with?

Favorite vampire: I loved Near Dark. [...] All those vampires are so badass and kind of scary, but also enticing. That's the vibe we also bring.

Who he plays: I play the role of Paul. [The vampire characters are] symbols that make the story happen and push it into motion.

What people should know about the show: [It's] electric, explosive, and '80s.

Favorite vampire: The Count from Sesame Street. Always has my back.
