True Blood Season 3 Spoiler News: Episode 5 Casting Call

There’s a new True Blood casting call. This time, the casting is for Episode 5 of Season 3, which is entitled Trouble, and calls for 4 guest roles, including Eric Northman’s parents Ulfrick and Astrid. The other two roles are for a Wolf Pack Leader and a church girl with a crush on Hoyt Fortenberry. Here are the details for these characters:

In a flashback scene set in 900 A.D., we meet Ulfrick, Eric’s (Alexander Skarsgård) father.  Ulfrick is a Swedish Viking king in his 40s to 50s who has seen many battles as evident by his battle scars.  Despite his position he is described as being warm and has a  good relationship with Eric however, there is some tension between the two of them because Ulfrick wants Eric to learn responsibility and behave in a manner befitting royalty.  The casting call is for a guest star to portray Ulfrick.

In the same flashback scene set in 900 A.D. we also meet Astrid, a Swedish Viking queen in her 30s with a new baby and is Eric’s mother. This casting call is also for a guest star to portray Astrid.

Another guest star casting call, this time for Colonel John Flood who is described as the Wolf Pack Leader in his 50s to 60s who is self-assured, and dressed like a golfer with a military haircut.  Apparently he doesn’t react the way Sookie and Alcide expect to recent events.

It seems Jessica better watch out or someone is going to take Hoyt away from her.  In the latest casting call a young girl in her 20s from Hoyt’s church is attracted to him in a chaste way.  Summer is described as super positive and a nice girl.

Sounds like True Blood’s new guest characters are going to be giving us some new insight into a few of our favorite characters! Which of these four do you think will make the biggest impression on fans and do you have anyone in mind to play any of these characters?

True Blood Season 3 Spoiler News: More Eric, Jason, Sam and Rutina

It seems True Blood fans can expect season 3 to be with filled with lots of drama and actions, in more ways then one, for many of the cast members.  According to People and E!Online we will be seeing alot of drama unfolding for Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten), Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley).

Many Eric fans were excited to hear recently that they will be seeing their favorite character having more nude scenes in season 3 and according to Nelsan Ellis, who states he will be Eric’s henchman this year, that we will be seeing a lot of Eric and Pam tag-team action this year as well,

“Eric will definitely be in every episode, and Pam is definitely in the first four.”

Tara on the other hand will be having a rollercoaster ride with her emotions as she will be grieving the loss of Eggs and the raptures of attraction to a new suitor who may or may not be good for her.

“She’s going to have to grieve a lot to get over [Eggs]. And then it’s going to be crazy madness.”

Now with Jason we are going to start seeing more of him compared to last season where he seemed to be able to keep his clothes on, this season maybe not so much. According to Ryan there are some major storylines that he will be involved in that include,

“Jason finally falls in what he thinks is love. It’s a pretty rare, unknown concept for him.” Awww…Plus, Ryan tells us of Jason’s future, “The fact that my character is dealing with the fact that he really has killed someone now is pretty crazy, and there’s a whole host of new characters. There’s the addition of werewolves coming in. We’re using real wolves. It’s crazy. I’ve yet to work with them. I’ll work with them later on in the season, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Sam joked around about the number of nudes scenes he has done and how they are rivaling with Ryan’s and how both are ready for the new season and what the episodes have in store for them.

“We joke about it — and who has the record for the most disrobes,” says Trammell, who plays the shape-shifting Sam Merlotte. “I think Ryan does. But I’m close behind him at this point because I’ve already disrobed like four or five times this year and I don’t think he has at all. I’ve got to fight that out with him. Ryan is definitely ready to show up and flaunt it, because he’s got the bod to back it up. He’s probably the least bashful.”

Sam mentioned that since they have to do all these nude scenes that they have to work hard on staying in shape themselves and avoid the various temptations that surround them that can hinder their goals.

“[Working out is] up to us,” he says. “They’ve got the cookies out.”

However, as he says the cast has gotten used to performing in the nude and that sometimes if some of the female cast member feels a little shy or embarrassed you get used to a process of feeling the emotion, taking the clothes off once and then it is over and done with.  It is not all about Sam being nude this season as Nelsan explains, Sam will also be busy trying to locate his family and reconnecting with them.

Ryan explains his take on life and his approach to things and his character of Jason,

“I tend to think that I live my life relatively fearlessly,” admits Kwanten, who plays the heroic if not always clear-headed Jason Stackhouse. “If HBO knew half the things that I do in my personal life they probably wouldn’t be too happy about it … I have no fear. I sort of hide behind the guise that I am playing a character … Personally, I’m quite restrained and almost introverted. But as Mr. Stackhouse, I can’t afford to have any of those sensitivities.”

Whatever Alan has in store for all our favorites characters, season 3 of True Blood cannot come soon enough for the fans.

True Blood Season 3 Spoiler News: Alexander Skarsgard and Many Nude Scenes

A great way to start the week is with some True Blood season 3 spoiler news and the revelation that we will be seeing a lot more of Alexander Skarsgard this upcoming season in more ways then one along with other cast members. According to Marc Malkin from E!Online several of the cast members that he spoke to have told him that there will more nudity in season 3.

According to Todd Lowe, “a lot of people will be getting naked this season.” Specifically, we will be seeing Alex naked quite and bit in season 3 as Carrie Preston mentioned to Marc,

“Alex is not shy about getting naked at all!” said Preston, who plays Arlene Fowler. “And there will be lots of those kinds of scenes with Alex this season.”

Todd has even revealed that he himself has been nude once or twice since filming has begun. It seems that everyone is getting into the action this season.

Nelsan Ellis provided his own reasoning as to why there is going to be so much nudity this season,

“There are a lot of hunky dudes and beautiful women who have been added to the cast, so it doesn’t surprise me that more clothes are coming off.”

Sam Trammell, on the other hand, who has done some nude scenes says he would like to have his character have a bigger part in the romantic side. As he says,

“I’m not having any sex yet…they really should provide Sam with more sex.” However he does add the following, “there is a suprising—well, shocking—scene in the first episode. Some people will be happy and some people will not.”

So it seems we are going to see a lot of cast this season however, my question is what about Bill? Will we be seeing him and how much of him?  Season 3 definitely can’t arrive soon enough for True Blood fans.

True Blood Season 3 Spoiler News: Nelsan, Werewolves and More

Recently Nelsan Ellis who plays Merlotte’s short-order cook, Lafayette Reynolds in Alan Ball hit HBO TV vampire series True Blood discussed some season 3 spoiler news one of which was the comparison between the Twilight werewolves and those that will be appearing on True Blood.  As Nelsan states:

“I like Taylor [Lautner from Twilight], but our werewolves have a little more gravitas, they’re edgier-looking, and they’re just much meaner. They’re vicious.” And apparently True Blood’s wolf pack, led by Joe Manganiello’s Alcide, is not too hard on the eyes, either. Nelsan says, “They are some good-lookin’ chaps! All the eyes on the set turn to the werewolves. They’re like the GQ bastards.”

The new werewolves of True Blood will not be the only ones that will be catching the audiences’ attention.  Lafayette’s new love, Jesus played by Kevin Alejandro will by sizzling the screen as well. Kevin states regarding his role,

“I just started last week, and I honestly don’t know a whole lot, but there’s definitely an interest between myself and the character of Lafayette.”

Nelsan explains that in season three viewers are going to learn more about him, his new love interest and his insane mother (played by Alfre Woodard) will be exploring for season 3. One interesting question that was posed to Nelsan was how these various storylines involving his character tie into the overall mythology of True Blood.  Since originally Nelsan’s character died in season one everything about his character is new and fresh and therefore is developing a life of its own.  As Nelsan states regarding the mythology,

“It doesn’t, because Lafayette’s storyline is completely new, considering that I’m not supposed to be in the series. Lafayette was supposed to die the seventh episode of the first season. If I have a tie into the mythology it’s my tie into the vampires. I’m Eric’s henchman (Alexander Skarsgård) now. So that’s my tie to the mythology, but my other storyline is human, and it’s all new.”

In conclusion Nelsan was asked which actor he would love to see on the show to which Nelsan said Angelina Jolie.  He thinks she would be an excellent vampire queen would “slay the show.”

So it seems according to Nelsan True Blood fans are going to be intrigued with what his character is going to be experience and we are all going to be treated to some interesting new characters.
