Michael McMillian, Denis O’Hare and James Frain Weigh in on the True Blood:
For fans of HBO’s True Blood, there were three vampires on the show that were arguably discussed more than all the others: Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian), Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare) and Franklin Mott (James Frain).
Steve was an anti-vampire religious zealot that was turned into a vampire and then came out to the world as not only being a vampire, but a gay vampire. Russell Edgington was the King of Louisiana who loved nothing more than to rip the beating heart out of newsreaders on national television.
Franklin, while his time was short on True Blood, was possibly the craziest of the three and had a unwanted crush on Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley) back when she was still a human. At that stage, Tara was very definitely anti-vampire, but, as we all know, was turned later on when she was shot. Frain had this to say about Tara being turned:
When Tara became a vampire, I was like, “Oh! Then we could have gotten married!” [Laughs] She was the one that got away! I just messed it up. I was too forward. I was too eager. I should have held back. But Franklin genuinely thought he was in love with Tara. He thought it was a legitimate elopement, and then couldn’t handle it. I think he needed quite a lot of therapy. Quite a lot.
The three actors got together recently to reminisce about their time on True Blood. Michael McMillian discussed how he is constantly being asked about who turned Steve into a vampire. He had this to say on the matter:
I would love to see how Steve became a vampire. It’s a question I get all the time, from fans and friends — will we ever get to find out who Steve’s maker is? I have my theories, though. In one script, in episode three of season five, it was going to be revealed that Salome was Steve’s maker. I think he gave her a hug, and she said, “As your maker, I command you to let go of me.” And then in a rewrite, that was taken out and the whole scene was changed, and that got lost, and it was never brought up again. So it was a mystery. I really wanted it to be Pam! [Laughs] There was a line when she was turning Tara, where she said she had done it once before and it didn’t work out, so she has another progeny we don’t know much about. So maybe during that year when Sookie was gone, she had to make Steve for some reason. [Laughs] But it doesn’t save Steve from being executed by Eric. I think it’s officially unofficial who Steve’s maker is.
As for Denis O’Hare, he still watches the show and even has an alternate ending for how he would have liked the show to finish:
I was catching up last night [before the Season 7 finale]. It’s a very weird magical world it creates. It feels like a version of reality that’s really warped …It would be great to have a really tacky ending, in which you suddenly go into Bellefleur’s, and a disco ball starts turning, and all the characters from the entire seven seasons suddenly start showing up and dancing. And you watch them all sort of dance with each other — Russell kind of sidles over and grabs Bill’s [Stephen Moyer] hand, and they do a little dance. And then Talbot [Theo Alexander] comes in and he points, “Whoa! You’re back!” And Franklin Mott walks in and everybody goes, “Franklin!” Something like that. A bad disco ending, I would take.

James Frain is the ‘Go-To Guy for Playing Off-Putting, Imperious Individuals’:
Fans of HBO’s True Blood all seemed to love the warped relationship between crazy vampireFranklin Mott (James Frain) and Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley). Many were saddened when he met an early demise, hoping, instead, he would live on like he did in the Southern Vampire Mystery series of books by Charlaine Harris.
Well, James Frain is back – just not on True Blood though! TV Line recently confirmed that James had signed on to play a recurring role in Fox’s new series, Sleep Hollow. Michael Ausiello had the following to say about Frain’s Sleepy Hollow character, Rutledge:
[he is] a modern-day nobleman who will interrogate Ichabod, who is being passed off as a “visiting Oxford professor,” about his past.
Ausiello also hints at a ‘secret which could affect Icabod’s future’. Hmm, sounds intriguing! Frain always seems to play characters that are odd, off-putting and at a loggerheads with authority, so it will be fantastic to see how the role of Rutledge will evolve in Frain’s capable hands.
It has not been confirmed exactly when James Frain will appear on Sleepy Hollow, but you can tune in on Monday nights at 9/8c to catch this new TV series.

Today, March 14, 2011 is James Frain’s birthday. The actor played the unforgettable role of the vampire Franklin Mott in the course of True Blood’s third season. We here at TBN would like to wish James a very happy birthday and hope that he has a wonderful day!
British actor JamesFrain, who played off-his-rocker FranklinMott on HBO‘s TrueBlood, is in the upcoming film Waterfor Elephants alongside a fellow Brit, the swoon-worthy Robert Pattinson. Based on SaraGruen‘s popular novel of the same name, the film is set in the Great Depression, and revolves around a second rate circus run by husband & wife team August and Marlena Rosenbluth (played by ReeseWitherspoon and Christophe Waltz). Pattinson plays the circus vet, while Frain plays Rosie the elephant’s caretaker.
In an ironic twist, both British vampires had scenes together, but somehow managed to not broach the subject. Frain regrets this, saying:
“I did have scenes with Robert in Water for Elephants but I’m sorry to say we didn’t swap vampire stories. I wish we had, people can’t believe there’s going to be a scene in the movie with a Twilight vampire talking to a True Blood vampire and that we didn’t spend our time chatting about that. I wish I’d got vampire tips from him, I wish I’d gone, ‘Oi, Bob mate, any tips?’”
Acknowledging that many of his characters have been villains, he’s completely fine with it. Like he says, “Bad guys are fun.” This was especially true for Frain on True Blood, as that role afforded him his first chance to film a sex scene. He’s thankful the show “made that dream come true.” The darkness, craziness, and sex aren’t all that he found appealing about playing Franklin, however — he’s glad there was a lighter side to the vampire. He elaborates:
“One of my favourite scenes involved Franklin at his most jovial. He’s quite a jokey dude. You know vampires have superpower speed? Well, Franklin uses this to text on a cellphone, showing off to Tara how quickly he can text. It’s like watching a kid with a video game, but at this point, he’s kidnapped Tara and has her chained to a bed, so she’s failing to be entertained.”
There’s no doubt fans remember this scene… it was hilarious! It’s great that Frain has been enjoying his work, and that he’s had nothing but good experiences with fan encounters. Hollywood’s been good to him, and we hope he sticks around. Did you enjoy his portrayal of Franklin? Do share your thoughts!
True Blood‘s James Frain, who plays the lovably despicable Franklin Mott, doesn’t tell his kids what he does at night. The British star, who has two children with actress Marta Cunningham, won’t allow his children to see his movies. Frain has not even admitted to them he is an actor, noting that he wants to “preserve their innocence” and doesn’t want them to learn about Hollywood life before they need to.
Frain also commented on his kids, saying,
They’re still too young to know what it is that I do for a living. My three-year-old daughter still thinks people on the TV can see you…Besides, they haven’t seen anything I’ve done because it’s all been so inappropriate
I’d say for sure that Franklin Mott is not how I’d want to introduce my young kids to a job! I can think of few characters – vampire or human, less likely to be a good role model. Or more likely to give a kid nightmares.

The third season of True Bloodmay just be a memory for truebies here in the US but across the pond in the UK, the latest season will premiere on January 14th. In honor of the new season, Digital Spy published an interview from the Daily Record with the brilliantly funny James Frain discussing his role as the hilariously disturbing vampire Franklin Mott.
We first met Mr. Mott when he broke into Bill’s (Stephen Moyer) house searching for information on Sookie (Anna Paquin) and her origins. At first he seems like a well put together and mysterious vampire, especially to Tara (Rutina Wesley) when they meet at Merlotte’s. But unfortunately he doesn’t remain that way. Not only does he have a bad habit of gambling and killing. But he also has a poor track record with women making him both dangerous and emotionally unstable. Of Franklin’s progression Frain says:
“The journey he goes on is very dark but is also hilariously funny. Every week when I got the script I would be just laughing at the lines and enjoyed how much fun they had writing him and how they managed to take it really out-there without ever being totally absurd. He has some really great comedy scenes and some choice lines.”
Choice lines indeed! Who could forget the scene with Franklin texting on Tara’s cell phone?
James Frain on Playing Villains
Despite Franklin’s humor, playing a villain can be difficult. But James says that he actually likes playing a bad guy:
“I do enjoy playing villains, and while I have never thought of Franklin as a bad guy, he is a bad guy,” he said. “He’s got it all wrong and is working for the wrong people and thinks he is a good guy but is not. It’s good playing the bad guy but more than anything it was fun.”
It’s nice to hear that James had fun while shooting for True Blood! Although many might not agree with Franklin’s actions, the humor that came with the character brought a much welcomed lightness to the show in a very bloody fashion.
Franklin Mott may be gone but he will always be remembered as one of the best characters of season three.

A teaser trailer has been released for the new film, “Water for Elephants,” in which James Frain, known as True Blood psychotic vampire sleuth Franklin Mott, plays an elephant trainer.
“Water for Elephants” is based on the novel by the same name. It focuses on a popular traveling circus act. The movie stars Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson. When asked if Frain discussed vampire tips with the Twilight star, he says, no, it didn’t come up.
Frain tells British press:
“My scenes were with Robert Pattinson but I’m sorry to say we didn’t swap vampire stories. I wish we had.”
The film is tentatively scheduled for an April release.
Every television show on air has high and low points throughout its season. However, True Blood has managed to have some of the best characters and moments of 2010 with only half the number of episodes that a regular network show produces. While our favorite show may not be recognized at the Golden Globes this year, it certainly has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the media, particularly online. Earlier this month I reported that Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) made a top ten character of 2010 list. Today I am proud to report even more accolades the show and its cast of characters have received this year.
Did that Really Just Happen?: Russell Edgington on the Evening News
If your lover of 700 years was staked by a vampire who claimed his loyalty to you, what would you do? The King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare) found himself in this position after Eric Northman reduced his consort Talbot (TheoAlexander) to vampire pulp in episode nine, “Everything is Broken.” After seeing his raw grief over Talbot’s remains one could only wonder exactly what would happen to Eric. But no one could have imagined the scene that unfolded at the end of the episode. One minute, a news anchor is reporting on the VRA and the next, his spine is being ripped out before Russell goes on a diatribe about how inferior humans are. Insert expletives here.
This unexpected moment which rivals Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Lorena’s (Mariana Klaveno) head-twisting sex scene earned a Boxee award from Stuff.co.nz for Best Scene of 2010, a Best Performance of 2010 from TV Guide, and a Most Shocking Moment of 2010 from MSNBC and the Today show. Relive that moment by watching the clip below:
Most Under-Appreciated Character of 2010: Lafayette
In season three Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) was forced back into the V trade, had to deal with Tara’s (Rutina Wesley) grief over Eggs (Mehcad Brooks), not to mention his crazy mother Ruby Jean (Alfre Woodard), a slowly blossoming relationship with her nurse Jesus (Kevin Alejandro), and surviving calling everyone’s favorite pink vampire Pam (Kristen Bauer Van Straten) a hooker. Through it all, Lafayette has managed to keep his unique sense of style and his job at Merlotte’s.
Listandgrades.com ranked our favorite cook and entrepreneur number two on their list. The character of Lafayette was actually killed in the course of the first SookieStackhouse novel. But because of his personality and popularity, series creator Alan Ball couldn’t bear to do the same onscreen and we love him for it. True Blood would never be the same without you Lafayette and we can’t wait to see what trouble you get into in season 4.
Favorite Guest Star: James Frain
Prior to meeting Franklin Mott (James Frain) the vampires of True Blood could be described as a fairly cool bunch, no pun intended. This new addition to the vampire ranks however made even Lorena look a little saner. The emotionally unhinged Franklin could have been a very dark character. But in the hands of James Frain, Franklin became a crazy, but love-sick vampire with a thing for Tara.
A vampire who operated between menacing and tearful was the last thing we expected from creatures that usually get a kick out of causing humans pain. Easily one of the best providers of comic relief this season, James earned Spoiler TV’s Favorite Guest Star Award for 2010. Though Franklin Mott may be gone forever, we’ll always have the memories. Who knows? Maybe he might come back in some form. We know James Frain is game.
Top Ten TV Show of 2010: True Blood
In just twelve episodes True Blood went from Bon Temps to Shreveport to Jackson and back again. We met a werewolf named Alcide (Joe Manganiello), saw Pam cry, watched SookieStackhouse (Anna Paquin) stand up for herself and kick both Bill and Eric to the curb and that’s just for starters!
There is no question that True Blood has been chalk full of goodness this year from watching sweet Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) descend slowly back into a dark past to watching Arlene (Carrie Preston) try to deal with carrying a murderer’s baby. Oh and who could forget Jason’s (Ryan Kwanten) attempts to become a deputy sheriff in Bon Temps?
It was for these moments and many others that the Houston Chronicle named True Blood number six on its Top TV Shows of 2010. They also made mention of Russell Edgington’s appearance on the news bringing the count to four mentions. Season three was full of a lot of highs this year making us wonder how exactly Alan Ball and co will top it for season 4. But one thing is for certain, it will be nothing short of fangtastic!
NBC is launching a new series The Cape which will feature James Frain from HBO’s True Blood. Frain is known to True Blood fans as crazy Franklin Mott, who kidnapped Tara and was later killed by Jason Stackhouse.
New Superhero Show
The Cape is about a police officer who is framed for a crime and in order to find vindication he becomes a masked hero. Frain will be playing Chess a complex villain who will be a ‘fun loving psycho’. The show co-stars David Lyons, Summer Glau, and Vinnie Jones.
The Cape has a 2 hour premiere January 9, 2011 and will air Monday nights on NBC.
Here are two previews for the show. In this longer version we get more of a glimpse at the show however we do not see Frain.
In this newest clip we get a peak at Frain’s character.
Let us know what you think – will you be checking the show out?
We’ve seen vampires come out of the coffin in True Blood. But have you ever wondered what it would be like if technology became the center of daily life? James Frain (Franklin Mott) recently had the opportunity to find out first hand, playing the character of Jarvis, in his new movie Tron: Legacy.
The actor recently sat down with the Canadian magazine Tribute to discuss the film along with his co-stars Michael Sheen, Beau Garrett, and Bruce Boxleitner.
All About Jarvis
Jarvis is the head of the secret police in the Tron world and is charged with keeping other programs in line as well as obtaining information about those programs that do step out of line. Unfortunately for Jarvis, he doesn’t do this very well and has a hard time getting things accomplished.
It sounds like Frain can relate to Jarvis’ predicament however. When asked if he felt guilty about spending too much time using today’s technology, he says:
“I’m cursed with wanting to get every new gadget that’s out there. I’m drawn like a moth to the flame, and yet totally inept at using them. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. I don’t know if anybody else is like this, but I refuse to read any operating manuals.”
The Human Side of Technology
Though the movie has a heavy technological theme, Frain insists that at the heart of the film it’s all about the relationships between the flawed human characters. Flawed or not, the Tron idea of human certainly is different from what we’re used to seeing, at least from James Frain. Our dear former vampire sports a shaved and white painted head in a truly incredible transformation for the film.
Acting in a World That Doesn’t Exist…Yet.
Speaking of transformations how does one act in a technological world that doesn’t exist except on the silver screen? Frain describes a scene where he has to give a theatrical speech to thousands of “programs” in an arena with a lot of people in it and things flying around. But in actuality he only had himself, a camera, a blue screen and some crew members with him. He describes the experience quite aptly by saying:
“It was a bit like doing off-Broadway theatre, where you just imagine what you’re doing; you just put it out there and hope for the best.”
If James’ performance on True Blood is any indication, we’re quite sure that he’ll be fantastic in Tron: Legacy.
The film will be hitting theaters here in the United States on December 17.

Continuing with a Villainous Performance in New Film
Good news for those who’ve been missing True Blood‘s psychotic yet endearing vampire Franklin Mott! The wonderfully talented actor behind Franklin, James Frain, is set to return to the big screen soon. Maintaining his crazy and sinister portrayal, James will star alongside Elisabeth Rohm, Harold Perrineau, Diora Baird, and Jim Caviezel in Antonio Negret‘s thriller, Transit.
Scheduled to be released in 2011, Transit tells the story of a group of thieves who go on the run after robbing a bank. Drama ensues after the murderous thieves terrorize and stash their stolen money in an unsuspecting family’s SUV at a rest stop.
Updates on the film are anticipated to be released soon. Additional stills from Transit can be found below.

Franklin Mott was undeniably insane on True Blood before he became goo, but does that mean fans have to say goodbye to James Frain, the actor who played the lovestruck yet abnormal vampire? Not at all. NBC has made Jamesits newest super villain in the new drama The Cape.
Recently while on the red carpet, the English actor praised the drama, which revolves around a cop who becomes a masked hero after being framed for a crime. The show is slated to air mid-season and James noted,
“It’s a superhero show and I play the supervillain…It’s not that big a stretch. No one has any real powers. It’s about cunning and skill. It’s very serious in its intent. But it’s also light in the way it’s played. It is closer to Batman in that the people don’t have powers. Supervillain equals job security as long as people like the show and we get picked up.”
James plays Peter Fleming and he remarks that the story is absolutely new; it’s not based on a comic book and it certainly isn’t revamping an old hero. The mythology is new and Tom Wheeler, the creator, has the first season already mapped out.
Although he is excited about his new role, he is still sad to see Franklin go. He remarked,
“He’s done. Dead. Gone. Once they goo you, there’s no coming back from that. Goo equals gone. I can’t tell you how many more doubletakes I get since doing that character. He was such a great character and he was the most fun to play ever but I think part of what made it so fun is that it was such a contained ride. When you’ve got someone that psycho, where is he going to go next? There’s something cool about the fact that it was like a hit and run. But I do miss him. I have started to collect memorable death scenes.”
Franklin may have been great, but fans are excited to see Peter Fleming on their televisions sets come January; James Frain will surely keep fans occupied until the fourth season of True Blood premieres.

Franklin Mott may have met the true death on True Blood, but actor James Frain’s career is on the rise. In a recent interview with Collider, James discusses his role in the highly-anticipated Tron sequel, and what it’s like playing a crazy character like Franklin.
In spite of some of the outrageous things he was asked to do as Franklin, James says it was never challenging because he was having so much fun playing a liberated psychopath:
“If it’s going well, meaning that the writing is good, the directing is good and the other actor is present with you, then it’s always fun. It’s make-believe. It becomes difficult when there’s something not working in the equation. What’s remarkable is when you watch stuff back afterwards and you go, ‘Oh, my god, that’s terrifying! I remember when we were doing that and it was really good fun.’ Especially when it comes to that intense stuff, sometimes it’s even more fun than not because it’s so absurd, over-the-top and extreme. But, Rutina Wesley is just a very open and generous actor, and we just had a blast.”
James went from True Blood to another big, exciting project–Tron: Legacy, the remake of the 1982 sci-fi classic. He stepped into the role of Jarvis, the right-hand man to Clu, evil overlord of the alternate game universe:
“Unfortunately, [Jarvis is] completely inept and he spends most of his time trying not to be killed. It’s a fun, comic character that’s a little off-beat. It’s an intense, overwhelming experience and one of the things that [director] Joe [Kosinski] did to mitigate that was build in as much human idiosyncracies as he could. Michael Sheen’s character, Castor, is a very flamboyant, comic character. My character is not flamboyant, but more human, in terms of being fallible and absurd.”
Anticipation for Tron: Legacy has been building, given how many actors from the original film are involved (including Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner) and because of the technology available today to create outstanding visual effects. James says that, as an actor, you don’t approach your work any differently now that so much is being filmed in 3D:
“The new technology comes in and it seems like it’s changed all the rules, but then, after awhile, it’s just how things are done. The thing that always applies is storytelling. Good storytelling, good characters, genuine reactions and all that stuff is what’s important.”
Even though there’s a lot of hype for the film to live up to, James definitely thinks it’s going to blow people away when it hits theaters this December. After his impressive, magnetic performance as Franklin on True Blood, we can’t wait to see James in his new role!

Fans of the unhinged Franklin Mott from Season 3 of HBO’s True Blood are in for a treat with Season 2 of HBO’s True Detective. It has recently been reported that actor James Frain will join the cast in a recurring role. Frain will be playing the role of ruthless police lieutenant, Jeff Hunt.
For fans of HBO’s True Blood, there were three vampires on the show that were arguably discussed more than all the others: Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian), Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare) and Franklin Mott (James Frain).
