Fresh off the first Underworld film (2003), where she played the vampire death-dealer Selene, Kate Beckinsale was Hollywood’s go-to actress for leather-clad gothic action heroines. In Van Helsing , she plays Anna Valerious, the last of a noble Hungarian family sworn to destroy Dracula to free her ancestors’ souls from Purgatory.
🕯️ What’s your favorite moment? Team Van Helsing or Team Dracula? Sound off below! The movie boasts an impressive cast, including some
Beckinsale was originally offered the role of a vampire, but she insisted on playing a human monster hunter. Her Anna is proud, skilled with a sword, and deeply tragic—her entire family has perished in the centuries-long war. Beckinsale performed her own sword fights and whip work, creating a physical equal to Jackman. Their banter (“Must you always talk?” / “Must you always breathe?”) became a fan favorite.
🎭 The ultimate creepy henchman. O’Connor, who also played the sniveling Beni in The Mummy (another Sommers film), is perfectly disgusting as Dracula’s hunchbacked lab assistant. He’s the guy you love to hate. Team Van Helsing or Team Dracula
The character actor Kevin J. O’Connor ( The Mummy , There Will Be Blood ) played Dracula’s hunchbacked henchman, Igor. Unlike the classic hunchback of the James Whale films, O’Connor’s Igor is a rat-faced, whining sycophant who operates the laboratory equipment that brings Frankenstein’s Monster to life. His death (thrown into a gear mechanism) is characteristically gruesome.
