Christian Cooke

Christian: (on filming the stunts for Demons): I had three weeks of fight training before the series began. I learnt a blend of different martial arts - not in great depth, obviously - but various moves such as kicks, blocks and punches. It was all quite fun. All the fight scenes you see, that's me doing it!"

Christian: (about filming the upcoming series Demons and the character of Luke Rutherford): He's an ordinary 18 year old kid who's at a sixth form college in London. His dad died when he was one and he lives with his mum. He's led to believe that his dad died in a car accident on a business trip but this guy turns up - who tells him he's the last Van Helsing and that he has these obligations to fight against the half-lives, take on the role that his dad once had and become an uber-smiter.

Christian Cooke: (About filming in Cornwall) I did a bit of surfing, just paddling out and getting little snapshots for montage sequences, but I nearly drowned. I got caught in a rift and was being taken out. I was trying to swim in and it took me about fifteen minutes to get back to the beach. I'm definitely not a good surfer!
