First of all the contest ended 11/30 and I’m still getting this stuff in my email. Second,if all this is over Sandra Jackson’s question it’s crazy. She asked that in context to the characters of the show. It was just a question to win a contest. Pop in your season one DVD and open a bottle of your True Blood beverage and take a chill pill…

Ashley I’m Very Impressed with your Wisdom and Self-Knowledge Here! You seem to be wise beyond your years! While Most gals would be throwing themselves at These OR for That Matter Any Famous or Influential person,You Keep it Real! You seem to be grounded in Reality and Have a strong hold on Your OWN Self Worth and Confidence,WOW! More Ladies should have such Self esteem like You Do! Your Right,though Its Not about “hooking up” Its More about Meeting Someone whom you admire and telling them How much you appreciate their work!
I’m Sure that these guys get tired of “groupies” And would want to connect with Real People!

Ashley

I wouldn’t say I have the hots for or would like to hook up with any of them. Its just not me. I have met some extremely Hot actors and never wanted to hookup with them. Two reason good chance it would be a bad hook up. They are hot and famous as long as they have fun who cares about the girl. Second women are throwing them self’s at them who knows how many people they have been with or STD’s. I value my self to much for that. I know they are not all like that I just tell my self that to keep me out of trouble. On another note, I actually think all the characters/actors on True Blood are great. They bring the show to life. If I had to pick the one I admire the most it would be Eric (Alex) there is just something different about him that draws you in. I have watched Alex in other shows and films and he really does bring his characters to life. Sookie is my second favorite character she tries to be good but trouble just always finds her. This is just me speaking my mind please no one get offended. I just read someones comment and it got me thinking.

Ashley

Autumn

I would like to ask- “I know a lot of the characters come straight from the Sookie Stackhouse novels but I get intrigued when a totally new character, like Jessica, comes about. Who comes up with these new characters and what inspires you to write them in the series? Do you find these characters to be accepted by the fans the most?

Elizabeth Choate

What other types of supernatural creatures Allan Ball will show on True Blood? The witches war will appears eventually?

alexis

The question i would ask to the cast would be “how do they think true blood has effected their acting career whether it be getting more roles or just being recognized more often in public?”

Rachel Lavoie

I would ask the cast if there is any plans for reuniting Sam and Tara?

Tiffany Boone

If I got to ask the cast any question it would be “How well do all of them get along with each other and how they feel when new people join the show?” I’m sure I could come up with a better question but I feel so on the spot. LOL!!!

Daniela Galvan

If I were to have question for the cast it would be simply this- if any one of you were to be given the opportunity to write your own episode of True Blood, where would you take it? Please give a brief summary, and more specifically, where would you take your character? Thanks!!!

scott burton

I would like to ask all of the cast present at the event. If the awesome series keeps going, lets say for ten seasons would they be interested in playing their characters and keep the show going ?

Shannon

Sherl Bastien

If any of the cast where interested in vampires or fantasy character of any kind, before they got involve with the product of True Blood>?

Cassie

I would ask the cast as well as Alan which episode or particular scene they enjoyed filming most. I would also ask Alan why he decided to not stick to the same exact storyline as in the books and why he chose to further develop/involve certain characters (i.e. Jason, Lafayette, Maryann, etc.). These characters play much smaller roles in the books and he has transformed them into such wonderfully vital parts in the series.

Rachel Graham

We fans love all of the characters on True Blood and they way all the actors portray them. What do you not like about your character? What one thing would each of you change about your character in regards to their past actions, reactions, attitudes?

Tiffany Holder

Roxi B

I would ask the cast what their inital “future vision” of themselves was when they signed on to star, and how that “future vision” has potential changed, now that it’s a staple in pop culture.

Corrie Kennelly

I would ask the actors what attracted them to the script initially. And, if they had originally wanted to play a different character.

Koriann

A question to the general cast: What do find most exciting about working on such a popular show? and other then your own, which character do you identify with most?

Travis Rudin

First of all I am a huge fan of the show. My question is “After leaving us all in suspense with the finale, what will true blood do to keep the audience hook, line and sinkered in?

Ilene

I would like to know if there were any scenes which made the cast feel uncomfortable to film, or frightened by. I wonder if the cast has ever had nightmares about the content of the scripts.

(this is my favorite show EVER!)

Penny

For Todd Lowe: How do you approach this role differently from Gilmor Girls?

Ashley

I would like to know if the cast has read the actual books and how they like the twist and turns that Allen adds to the show? I personally think Allen is doing a great job and I cant wait to see how the show unfolds. I also think everyone’s portrayal of the characters is perfect.

John

Question: Now having played the characaters for two seasons, if you could become your characater full time and leave your normal life behind would you do it? And for what reasons?

To the cast: What was your favorite episode of season 2 and why?
To Alexander Skarsgard: Who are you most comfortable with and closest to in the show?
I love true blood, i watched everyday. I even drink tru blood drinks they are amazing. My dream would be to meet the cast and see how they are like!

Britany

My question would be for Nelsan Ellis.

How did you prepare yourself the role of Lafayette? Do you play Lafayette the way you think Charlaine Harris wrote him or have you taken your own personal liberties?

John

Has the show received the kind of reception you thought it would? Has it been more popular than you thought it would be when you first read the script?

coweta

My question:

Excluding True Blood, what do you do for fun?

antonio

I guess If I had any questions to ask they would be mostly show related like Did Bill Have another girlfriend/partner after Lorena? did Eric have lots of Women in His life as a vampire?
Did Bill Ever feed off of some1 and then regret it or feel guilty about it later? Did Sam ever bond with a female dog when he was 1? Did Sam ever impreganate anyone…That he knew about? Was Jason ever tested for an STD? What was Sookie’s First date like? Did she ever know her grandaddy?

Alyssa

Can you relate your personal life to the life your character has on the show? And has your experience with being on true blood taught you anything about yourself?

Danielle P

I want to know, how they each view the sensual freaks, loyal goths, and fangbanger followers that are devoted to TRUE Blood along with the character they portray,and if there is an inner freak/goth/or fangbanger inside each of them?

Sheena

What do you admire/respect most about the character you portray?

Belinda

How has the popularity of being on True Blood effected your life,
and if you got to write a script on your character for one episode what would it be?

Alana

Question 1-for Nelsan Ellis, since being held captive and then taking Eric’s blood you have had some unusual vision/flashbacks of Eric. Given Lafayette’s eclectic sexual orientation, do you think we’ll be privy to any intimate fantasies between Eric and Lafayette?

Question 2- for Allan Hyde, Godric grew weary of the evil in the world. Do you think he would be proud of Eric’s transformation into a more thoughtful if not kinder bloodsucker?

April

If you could have picked your character, who would you have played and why?
