Awesome few chances in a lifetime opportunity for a True Blood fan to buy a walk on role on HBO's hit series True Blood. At the same time, you'll be helping a good cause The Serenity Park Sanctuary. The Serenity Park Sanctuary is a parrot rescue organization. Many may not know it, but Alan Ball is a huge parrot fan! In fact, he owns several of the spirited birds -- in Alan's case, Macaws. He houses them in an outdoor enclosure. In sunny southern California the Macaws probably feel right at home. However, parrots are highly intelligent, long-lived birds and ...

We did this interview in the start of the season but wanted to save her for the end because it was just that fun an interview.

Joe Manganiello – True Blood’s Alcide – Makes Me Want to Howl!
There's just something about Joe Manganiello that sells that alpha wolf image. It's not just that he's one tall, sexy, muscular hunk of man that leaves True Blood viewers panting for more Alcide Herveaux week after week. It's the way he moves, the tilt of his head, the surety of his gaze that just screams out, "You're safe with me, but not too safe!" He's also got a bit of that tail thumping, fun loving, puppy charm which made this one great interview to do. The Interview TBN: Hi Joe, thanks so much for joining us today! Joe: Hi, good to be able ...
Marcia deRousse – Hooray For Hollywood!
Marcia deRousse who plays the acerbic Dr. Ludwig on True Blood (but is a total sweetheart and a very gentle soul in real life) has kindly agreed to occasionally give us a 'behind the scenes' peek as life as a actor in Hollywood. If you have questions about specifics of the lifestyle or just living in LA just put them in the comments and I'm sure Marcia would be happy to address them. I know many of you feel that the life of an actor is all glitz and glamor, parties and paparazzi. That may be true to a point for ...
