'The Passage' Season 1 Exclusive: Brianne Howey on Shauna's disturbing past and what it's like playing a vampire
Known for her works in TV shows like 'The Exorcist,' and ever so acclaimed science fiction horror film 'Viral,' the very talented Brianne Howey has been leaving her fans and viewers speechless with her latest role on Fox's 'The Passage', and for good reason too. The almost three-weeks old TV show revolves around a dystopian world where a medical trial gone wrong creates superhuman monsters with a thirst for blood and playing one of these test subjects turned into a vampire is the 29-year-old Howey.
While it might seem like a done and dusted genre, what sets 'The Passage' apart from other stereotypical vampire shows is its style of simplistic storytelling at a slow, but steady pace. The action is gripping and so are the characters, with their twisted pasts and intense backstories. And one such backstory happens to be Howey's character, Shauna Babcock's. The third episode of 'The Passage' takes viewers back into Shauna's past, showing her life and struggles which are quite unnerving, to say the least. Spoiler alert but before Shauna was just a test subject turned vampire locked up in the cells of Project NOAH (the medical experiment), she was the classic 21st-century icon with a heart of steel and several ghosts from her past.
