Cam Gigandet - The Unborn
So you're actually a more sympathetic character in this one than you usually get to play.
Cam Gigandet: "Right."
Why do you keep getting cast as the bad guy?
Cam Gigandet: "I have no idea. Apparently I do that well. No, that was definitely one of the main things that interested me about this movie is because I got to play someone different. He's actually a good guy who tries to do the right thing."
What exactly does he do? This is a really scary premise – how does your character fit in?
Cam Gigandet: "Well I'm there with Odette [Yustman] trying to… Whether I believe it or not, I'm removed from what's actually happening to her so I have to… That's where his love comes in because whether or not he believes her doesn't really matter.
