Redeem now - "Dracula" actor Claes Bang said the iconic teeth sit on a wooden plaque that reads "fangs for the memories."
- Bang said he is "in the dark" as to whether season 2 of is happening, but said he'd "love" to do it.
"Dracula" actor Claes Bang told Insider that he received a bronze cast of his teeth on a plaque reading "fangs for the memories" as a farewell gift from the show's make-up artists.
Danish actor Bang earned critical acclaim for his performance as the eponymous vampire in last year's BBC and Netflix adaptation of the classic gothic novel, which was helmed by "Sherlock" creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat.
Bang, who is currently promoting his new movie "The Affair," didn't get to keep any of the costumes or props from the show, but he told Insider that the show's make-up artists "made something" for him.
Bang then showed Insider a bronze cast of his Dracula's iconic fangs.
"That's my teeth. That's what they did for me. The guys that did all my makeup and all that, they gave me this as a present when we left. It's a print, it's a cast of my teeth. And it says, and it says 'fangs for the memories.'"
Bang had casts of his teeth made for the show in order to create the prosthetic fangs that he wears as the Count, and one of these was turned into a bronze ornament and mounted on a wooden plaque.
Bang's performance proved to be so popular that a second series has been rumoured to be in the works. Bang told Insider that he is "totally in the dark" about whether a second season is happening or not, but that he would "love" to play Dracula again given the chance.
"I still feel the same way. I really enjoyed doing it. I love working with those people. I'd love to do one more," Bang said. "I've not heard that it's happening, I've not heard it's not happening. Actually I don't know anything, but hopefully."
Moffat himself has also been equally as coy about a potential second season in an interview with Radio Times.
"I mean, it's a show about resurrection," Moffat said. "That's literally what the main superpower of the main character is. Dracula started the show dead and then died again in episode two and came back. And then died again. Sister Agatha died and came back. I mean, everyone's dying on that show. So, we'll see."
Bang is currently promoting his new movie "The Affair," which actually originally released in some countries in 2019 as "The Glass Room." The Czech movie stars "Game of Thrones" actress Carice Van Houten and Hanna Alström as lovers during World War II.
