“Gary was sleeping in a coffin every night, that was how seriously he took it,” Carey told The Hollywood Reporter. “He was sequestered from us all — by choice.”

Carey played one of the vampire hunters in the film and he shared that the director had the entire cast come to his home in the Napa Valley, where all the hunters lived together.

“Francis believes that the more time the cast spends together that will translate on-screen,” Carey explained.

“Poor Gary had to live by himself,” he continued. “We met him for the first time on set during rehearsals and then we’d never see him again.”

It was recently revealed that Gary would be appearing in a Harry Potter reunion for HBO Max! Check it out…
