Sam Trammell at Eyecon
January 25, 2010 · 2 Comments
What follows is Sam’s great Q & A session from Eyecon.

From Eyecon ‘09: Q: The scene with you and Arlene’s kids, it’s one of my favorite scenes. What were the kids like to work with? I love those kids I think they’re real talented. Sam: They’re...

Shades of Grey: True Blood Talks to Michael McMillian
True Blood is a very complex show where good and evil are often mingled and mirrored and flipped on their heads. People who start out being heroes end up having hearts of darkness like Rene and Maryanne and some, like Sam and Andy, start out looking like heroes and get lost along the way but come through in the end. And then there's Jason, for whom we have few expectations but who rose to the occasion and did the right thing... only to fall from grace again when he killed Eggs. The vampires, on the other hand, have many nuanced ...

Talkin’ True Blood with Rusty Lipscomb: Time Bomb
What's up with Luke? Suicide bomber? I must admit I did not see that coming!

What a shame to destroy Godric's beautiful home! An explosion like this necessitates the set to be built on stage and what a great look the art department and construction achieved.
