The A.V. Club probably know Harvey Guillén best as Guillermo, the meek vampire familiar whose downtrodden life took an action-movie turn on the second season of
What We Do In The Shadows. That role is more demanding than it may at first seem, requiring Guillén to be quick on his feet both literally (did you see him fall backwards out of a window last season?!) and figuratively, trading improvised banter with the rest of the show’s hilarious ensemble cast.

Sean Sullivan
The magnificent brainchild of writer-performer Sean Sullivan, SBDC was set to open in Toronto at the Grand Canyon Theatre when the pandemic shut down the entire industry.

Sullivan is a consummate theatre and film artist and a virtuosic physical performer. When I learned last spring that the production was canceled, I thought it was dead, because it featured commanding physical performances. Sullivan s genius gave him no rest, however, and he translated the production into an auditory feast.
