Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer at the White House
May 11, 2012
True Blood’s Faery and GQ’s Stylish Man of the Week:
Anna Paquin and husband Stephen Moyer (Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton on True Blood) attended the White House Correspondents Dinner once again this year. Once again, they did not fail to impress. Paquin, newly pregnant, was stunning in a black deep-V silk jersey dress by French designer Hervé L. Leroux (formerly known as Hervé Léger).
Moyer was as dapper as always in a black tux. So dapper, in fact, that he was named British GQ’s second “Most Stylish Man of the Week” — second only to the President of the United States! Well done, Stephen!
We’ll be seeing the couple soon on True Blood Season 5, and we can’t wait!

True Blood Season 5 Poster – Bill!
May 11, 2012
Less Than 30 Days to True Blood Season 5!
The posters are out for the HBO True Blood stars for season five! There will be one for each actor and we at TrueBloodNet.com have decided to present one per post in order to give each its own top billing. As we all know, vampire Bill, the latest king of Louisiana, is played by the smolderingly sexy Stephen Moyer. Vampire Bill was Sookie’s first love and he spared Eric Northman in the hopes that it would make Sookie happy. Will he win Sookie‘s heart back this season? Will he move up in vampire politics now that he and Eric have teamed up to kill off American Vampire League spokeswoman Nan Flanagan? Will they take over the vampire world or will Russell Edgington have something to say about that?

Video: Stephen Moyer Sends Fans a Personal Thank You
April 26, 2012
Facing the Atlantic Fundraiser:
Stephen Moyer, who plays Vampire Bill on HBO’s True Blood, would like to personally thank his fans for helping the fundraiser, Facing the Atlantic. Overall, approximately $21,000 was raised.
Moyer and his mate Bertie Portal made a video for all of the participating fans who helped fundraise and support Facing the Atlantic.
On the fundraiser, AllStephenMoyer said:
“Facing the Atlantic is the most thrilling fundraiser we have done so far. It was exciting to follow the journey of Bertie and James, with all its ups and downs and we couldn’t have been more happy when they set foot on Barbados after 63 days on the Atlantic Ocean.”
In an email, Moyer said:
“…finally – FINALLY – I have had to reload the whole bloody thing. Can’t thank you guys enough for everything you and everyone on your respective websites have managed to raise…
Bert is gobsmacked by the level of commitment you put in…
I’m at work, and have just spent the entire last hour and a half trying to load this again, so now I’m off many thanks again.
See you all soon
Steve
…There is a glitch in the middle of the video where we were discussing how much money you lot had raised which I didn’t realise hadn’t recorded until I was back in the US… bloody annoying.”
Thanks for all of the help Truebies! Don’t forget (wait, how could you?) season 5 of True Blood premieres on June 10.

Stephen Moyer and Radha Mitchell to Star in “Evidence”
December 1, 2011
Aussie Star Joins True Blood Star:
Aussie fans of HBO’s True Blood may remember Radha Mitchell from her early days in the Aussie soap, Neighbours. American fans will remember her from movies such as Silent Hill (2006) and Pitch Black (2000). Well, True Blood actor, Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton), will be joining the cast of new movie, Evidence, along with this Aussie actor.
The movie tells the story of Detective Reese (played by Stephen Moyer) and Detective Burquez (played by Radha Mitchell), who turn up to an abandoned gas station, which is the scene of a massacre that contains no evidence – except for a video camera, a flip cam and two cell phones. Using only this evidence, they must discover who the murderer is.
The film is directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and also stars Torrey DeVitto, Caitlin Stasey, John Cothren, Svetlana Metkina, Albert Kuo and Dale Dickey. The screen play is by John Swetnam. Production is already under way and it is expected to hit movie theaters in 2012.
Make sure you put this movie on your ‘To Watch’ list for next year!

True Blood King Stephen Moyer is Keeping Busy
October 30, 2011
Two Upcoming Films for Moyer:
Though the fourth season of HBO’s smash hit True Blood has recently come to a close, leaving many fans wondering how to pass time over the long hiatus until the next season begins, Stephen Moyer will be busy filming his new movie The Barrens. Moyer, who plays Vampire King Bill Compton on True Blood will take on the role of a family man who unknowingly puts the lives of his family in mortal danger while on a camping trip. Given that this movie is being directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, who also is responsible for giving millions of movie watchers recurring nightmares from his Saw installments, he will be sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats in this horror flick.
Moyer must face the legendary creature the Jersey Devil, in the New Jersey forest, the Pine Barrens. For True Blood fans it will be fascinating to watch Moyer transition from the cold blooded legendary character of a vampire to becoming the victim of a legendary creature. The Barrens is currently in production and scheduled for release in 2012.
In the meantime if you are looking for a Moyer fix, he appears in the recently released spy thriller, The Double which hit theatres October 28. Moyer plays the part of a Russian spy, who is sought after by a retired CIA opeartive (Richard Gere). Though Moyer won’t be donning any fangs, this flick looks like it will allow him to demonstrate his acting abilities in a very different light.
