The 32-year-old actor doesn't much care for red carpets or bright lights. Not his scene. Still, it's best not to ask what he did last night.

“Ben Covington” broke hearts everywhere as Keri Russell’s love interest on the J.J. Abrams Dean & DeLuca dramedy, “Felicity.” Scott Speedman then went on to ravage women—and garner serious box office clout—as Underworld’s brooding bloodsucker. Next month, he can be seen hiding away with Liv Tyler in this summer's scarefest The Strangers. He shows up for our meeting ten minutes late, dressed casually. He smiles knowingly and, rubbing his eyes, says, "Sorry for the delay. Traffic, and all that. Also, we were out last night until after two." Instead of the usual self-promotion expected from Hollywood stars, he discusses our shared Canadian background. Obviously proud of his work, he'd rather let it speak for itself. Below, however, he opens up about life in the limelight, half-naked vampires, and the toughest women in show business.
