The Rev. Returns To Visit Jason Stackhouse: Season 4 left us with a ton of changes and questions at its end. We shouldn’t expect any less from Alan Ball. Tara‘s fate is in the air, Jessica and Hoyt are finished, and Sookie has no man! Perhaps one of the most surprising things to happen was Steve Newlin showing up on Jason‘s doorstep. This was hands down the most surprising moment of that episode for me. Newlin was the best part about Season 2 and now he’s... [Read the full story]

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
