The star of the cult comedy on working with True Blood star, Alexander Skarsgård, his quiet personal life and why he doesn't regret those Barclaycard ads
Stephen Mangan lives in Primrose Hill, a plush north-London neighbourhood where most of the shops sell sushi, cupcakes or premium bathroom fittings. He calls his favourite deli, Melrose and Morgan, Melrose and Mortgage ("the finest food known to humanity but eyewateringly expensive"). Half the locals are paparazzi fodder – it's not unusual for a fleet of mopeds to stream past the stucco terraces in pursuit of Kate Moss. But generally, he says, his patch of 18 years is pretty quiet, despite tabloid legend. "The cocaine-fuelled, dwarf-chucking parties, I really don't know where it happens. I've never been invited."
It's not exactly a byword for frugal, hairshirt living, though. Outside one of the smarter pubs, next to an unlit patio heater, Mangan is considering his carbon footprint...

I feel the need to admit right away that I assumed Cravings would be pretty lame. Out of the many subgenres of horror, vampires are not at the top of my preferred list; I’ve seen far too many Lost Boys and Buffy knockoffs. So needless to say, I pressed Play with skepticism.
My negativity, however, faded only minutes into this Lionsgate DVD release. Instead of meeting our vampire in some back alley sucking someone’s neck, the first blood is spilled during a woman’s suicide. Her husband Stephen (played beautifully by Richard Harrington) is a psychiatrist who has to cope with not only this loss, but also the fact that his mother is on her deathbed in the very hospital that employs him. He pops as many pills as his patients to deal with the stress and pain—which, he will learn, is nothing compared to what a...
