As Josef Kostan, Jason Dohring gets to play a centuries old vampire and mentor to lead character Mick St. John.  While he is considered to be part of the main ensemble of the CBS series, he hasn't had considerable exposure on canvas compared to lead stars Alex O'Loughlin, who portrays vampire private investigator Mick, and Sophia Myles, who plays reporter Beth and Mick's love interest. Gradually however, Dohring's airtime has improved towards the recent installments, especially with the episode "Sleeping Beauty," where his character reveals a secret he has kept for more than 40 years. Fortunately, he'll be playing a bigger part in the new episodes, which starts airing on April 25.

According to Dohring, fans can expect more fight scenes from his character in the coming installments of Moonlight.

“I go vampire for the first time, which you haven't really seen.  It is pretty cool.  That will be a really good scene,” the Moonlight actor revealed.

While most of the action will involve Mick and Josef teaming up to fight other vampires, Dohring is already hoping for his character to come to blows with best friend Mick.

“I hope soon, but for the most part I think it will be him and I kicking someone else's a**.  But will I ever kick his a**?  Maybe.  Hopefully, because that would be kind of cool to see what that would be like.  We'd both get a little bit of a beat down…They just haven't written it yet,” he said.

Just like co-star O'Loughlin, Dohring has a lot of interesting things to say about the new episodes of Moonlight.  While better character progression, impressive musical scoring and more emotional storylines are just some of the things to look forward to, Dohring also hopes that the new storylines will eventually dwell on his character's bloodline and history.
