After a Night of Portraying Eric Northman, Skarsgård Promotes Upcoming Film: First, a little background. WonderCon is a comics and media convention produced by the same group who brings us the San Diego Comic-Con. While much smaller in attendance (by several thousand) than its big sister, WonderCon does not fall short in quality programming. I attended WonderCon on Saturday, March 17. It was held at the Anaheim Convention Center, not far from Disneyland. A primary, although... [Read the full story]

Nathan Barr Attends 3rd Annual “Behind The Music” Panel: One of the most impressive things about True Blood is the music. Not only the various songs borrowed from other artists, but the original compositions as well. Who doesn’t remember the beautiful Sookie and Bill theme? Nathan Barr has traveled the world and studied music extensively from a very young age. This definitely comes out through his compositions. True Blood has had some truly unique music...

Dr. Ludwig will have a face off with our beloved Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) in "Cold Grey Light of Dawn", the 7th episode of season 4. That's not all that happens in this episode, of course.

The Inside Scoop on Allan Hyde's New Film: Fans of Allan Hyde rejoice -- you can see the actor who plays Godric, Eric Northman's maker on HBO's True Blood, in a new movie titled Franky, Frankly. We were fortunate enough to land an interview with producer Kevin Slee, so read on for the inside scoop! TBN: When did you know you wanted to do this kind of work? Did you try other things first or have you always known? I have known for some times that I loved storytelling. When I was young, around the age of five, my parents began taking me ...
True Blood's Pam Coming Soon Those of us that follow Kristin on Twitter (@BauervanStraten) know that she's a tireless advocate for animals and generally building a more sane world. We here at TrueBloodNet.com share those views and want to help Kristin get the message out on things that can be made better if we all get involved. As those that follow us know, Kristin is a great artist and has contributed a drawing of Alexander Skarsgard in various forms to help The Amanda Foundation, an animal rescue organization based in LA. We will be reoffering that print in coming weeks but ...
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 ...
While at Eyecon 2010, Joe Manganiello had a fan Q&A in which he discussed several topics, including his interest in True Blood, the process it took for him to become Alcide, and much, much more. Check out what went on in the Q&A below. Joe Manganiello: Good morning. Do we have any questions? Guest Pictures? All right, then I guess I’ll talk a little bit. I was a huge, huge fan of True Blood. When the show came on the air, I watched it when it premiered. I had no idea it was based on this series of books. I got ...
Kristin Bauer van Straten and TrueBloodNet.com have once again teamed up to help The Amanda Foundation. The Amanda Foundation is a pet rescue organization and veterinary clinic. Mrs. Bauer van Straten, who plays Pam on HBO's hit series True Blood, with the endorsement and permission of Alexander Skarsgard, has very kindly donated her artwork to appear on mugs, T-shirts and other wearable and displayable items!

Sam Can Rock SNL During his recent EyeCon appearance, Sam Trammell, who plays resident good guy Sam Merlotte on HBO's True Blood, admitted that he would love to host Saturday Night Live. We here at Truebloodnet.com would also love to see that happen! Fans of the show know what a talented actor Trammell is and we know he would do a fantastic job. His Eyecon appearance was exciting and hysterical. Not only would he, in our opinion, make a great SNL host but he would also rock as a late night host. He just has ALL the right stuff for that kind of ...
Last year at Eyecon we all got to mix and mingle with True Blood's Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette), Sam Trammell (Sam Merlotte), Ashley Jones (Daphne) and Allan Hyde (Godric). It was incredible! The actors were really fun and friendly and accessible, mingling at the cocktail party and sitting down to breakfast and dinner. Well this year's Eyecon 2010 is rapidly approaching and we thought if you were teetering on the edge of going .. this little article might help you make up your mind. Nelsan Question: University of Florida vs. University of Alabama in the NCAA Football championship, who wins? Nelsan: ALABAMA! I’m from ...
If you ever want to have a great, intelligent and fun conversation with an actor we highly recommend talking to Tanya Wright who plays True Blood's Sherriff's Department Officer Kenya. Tanya has had a fascinating life and knows the entertainment business inside out from acting, to producing to writing-she's done it all and best of all, she's not afraid to color outside the box. So get out your Crayola's guys... and enjoy our conversation with Ms. Wright! Tanya's Early Years TBN: Reading your bio it states that you grew up in the Bronx, New York and then earned scholarships to George School ...
We've talked to a lot of True Blood actors and they are all intelligent and exciting and nice. But no one was less like their character than Mariana Klaveno. She's sweet and fun and has a really nice laugh! We didn't once think we were about to be bitten or tortured or anything! 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. She's Mariana Talks About Her Beginnings: TBN: Can you tell us how a farm girl from Washington decided to become an actress? Did ...
On TrueBloodNet.com we rarely do very serious pieces; we do light articles to entertain, to distract you from the worries of the day and to support our favorite show, True Blood. We're departing from that meme tonight and we invite you to take a different journey with us. On Wednesday night, September 8th at 10pm EST just before the penultimate season 3 episode of True Blood airs on HBO, we will be doing our first 'TwitterPlay', "Bringing a Soldier All the Way Home: the Story of Arlene and Terry" The play, while done within the arena of True Blood and by ...
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 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 ...
Before the season started TrueBloodNet.com had the great pleasure of interviewing Denis O'Hare. He was just oodles of fun to talk to and was very patient with all our foolish human questions! It was a most delicate interview as we didn't want to be spoiled but really wanted to know all about the King of Mississippi! Plus, as it turns out Denis grew up around here and, like many, was glad to be from Michigan. TBN: You were born in Missouri but you were raised in Southfield, Michigan. As it happens that’s where I’m calling you from now. Denis: Where are you ...
[caption id="attachment_14943" align="aligncenter" width="525" caption="Lindsey Pulsipher True Blood Crystal Norris"][/caption] One of the first recurring roles that Lindsay Pulsipher played was as Heather on the show, "Touched by an Angel" and now she's playing Crystal, a character that's been touched by anything and everything but an Angel. We're fascinated by the unlikely concept of someone able to tame Jason Stackhouse, but with Lindsay lending her wistful, angelic face to the role of Crystal Norris , she may just manage to capture Jason's heart. She sure caught and held our attention! Lindsay was great to talk to, very fun and energetic and ...
Continuing our deliciously long conversation with "Pam" from True Blood, Kristin Bauer, in this half of the two part article. If you missed part 1 click here. And don't forget to support the end of whale slaughter in our lifetime! There's a link at the bottom of the article to CD's that Kristin and Abri will be selling to help support the anti-whaling efforts! TBN: Do you have any other charities that you support? KB: There are so many great ones but I often work with the Amanda Foundation and IFAW. I have a personal relationship with these people. I would like ...
Recently, Kristin Bauer (Otherwise known as Mrs. Van Straten-isn't Abri adorable?) True Blood's "Pam", took time out of her busy schedule to talk to TrueBloodNet.com. In fact we talked and talked and talked so long that we're going to present this as a two part interview! Talking to Kristin was great fun and she's one very smart lady. Be sure to catch the information at the bottom of this first half of the interview regarding the imminent IWC attempt to remove the moratorium on whaling. Pam, Kristin and Ollie and myself would urge you to get involved in stopping the ...
We here at TrueBloodNet.com had the privilege of interviewing the multi-talented Ashley Jones who not only charmed us with her wit but her down-to-earth personality. When she was not busy portraying Daphne on Alan Ball's hit HBO TV vampire series True Blood at night she was Bridget Forrester during the days on The Bold and Beautiful. It was just one of the example of Ashley's dedication to her work and at the same time her ability to have fun with whatever come along her way. Ashley is definitely and truly an inspiring woman and one to watch as her star ...
What follows is Sam's great Q & A session from Eyecon. Unfortunately I was so busy clapping and taking pics that I didn't get the recorder turned on until he'd already started but we have most of it transcribed thanks to Cyrenna's hard work! 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 really cool, those kids are really cool. And you know what’s funny? At the scene at the bar when I’m ...
