iF Magazine recently had the chat to talk to the one and only Kristin Bauer, the newest cast regular on True Blood who plays the delicious Pam Ravenscroft, right hand vampire to Eric Northman. Kristin talked about being a regular on the show, doing the Season 2 DVD commentary, and many other things.
Kristin began the interview by crediting costar Alexander Skargard‘s performance as Eric Northman as the basis of the hard-to-phase Pam. She says she decided to copy what Alex was doing, but she really made it her own, and we got an excellent Pam because of it, which probably explains why Pam is now one of the most popular characters on True Blood.
Everyone wants more Pam, and wants to know more about her. We want to know who Pam was as a human, why she was turned, etc. Hopefully we’ll learn more soon, as Kristin did when she worked on the Season 2 DVD commentary.
I did the [commentary] and there were thirty-four pages of dialogue, and Pam is commenting on the show and everybody, other scenes on the show and constantly making fun of Bill and talking about her relationship with Eric. A hundred years ago, he made her [a vampire]. I don’t know how much of the story that’s in the DVD ended up staying, because I guess they had to change a couple of things, but it was apparently a romantic relationship and she sought [Eric] out and wanted to be a vampire badly. She’s really most unapologetic. This was not an accident. She met Eric, her life changed and she was ready to go.
Of course, becoming a vampire didn’t change everything. Kristin said that Pam‘s not jealous of Sookie or any of the other female characters because she’s bisexual. In fact, it’s become a common for Kristin to call Pam “Pam-sexual” besides joking around about Pam‘s relationship with her maker Eric.
Pam also has a definite preference for which vampires she likes and doesn’t like. On the ‘like’ list in the number 1 position is Eric. (Godric also features prominently on the list because of what he means to Eric.) Of course, we don’t know many other vampires on that list yet, but there’s one with the potential to be: new baby vampire Jessica. Pam feels sorry for Jessica because she thinks that Jessica‘s maker, Bill, is rather annoying.
The interview with Kristin didn’t end there. Kristin also talked about wearing the fangs, how True Blood creates the image of vampires moving so quickly, and her outfits. To read the rest of this highly entertaining interview, click here and enjoy!

Fans cannot get enough True Blood. And lucky us, neither can writers.
“Truly, Madly, Deadly: The Unofficial True Blood Companion” by Rebecca Wilcott will provide readers with episode analysis, interesting essays, and insightful interviews. Wilcott is keenly aware of the attention span of the internet age and takes that into consideration when arranging her interviews.
“… a chunk of my interviews will run as unique sidebars to retain the pace of the conversation and the interviewee’s original voice. Cause that’s the best kind of chit chat, isn’t it? The kind that feels like you could be in a pub or coffee shop, just two people getting more and more jazzed about their topic.”
Interviews include Kristin Bauer (Pam), Patricia Bethune (Jane Bodehouse), AND the creator of Sookie and her world, Charlaine Harris. The cover art of this upcoming book was recently released.
“Truly, Madly, Deeply: The Unofficial True Blood Companion” has a tentative release date in, you guessed it, June, from ECW Press.

Fans recently had an amazing encounter with the lovely Kristin Bauer who plays Pam Ravenscroft on True Blood. Kristin showed up at a LUSH Store in Santa Monica this past Saturday. The fans report that Kristin was super nice, even to a flustered fan who almost missed the event due to extra heavy LA traffic. Kristin took pictures with her fans and signed their bottles of True Blood. Kristin also handed out autographed photos. The fans asked her about her fangs and if they were uncomfortable to wear. Kristin explained that they can be a bit annoying and that you have to get used to talking with them in because they can cause you to speak with a lisp. Kristin also talked about how excited she was to get started shooting season 3 next month. The fans expressed how disappointed they were that her character had such a little amount of air time last season and Kristin said that she was sure after hearing Alan Ball at the recent Paley event that Pam would see much more air time in season 3. Kristin also chatted with fans about her artwork. Kristin is a very accomplished and talented artist. You can view her work by visiting her website, KristinBauer.com. Fans were pleased with how approachable Kristin was and how accommodating she was. The event was held in support of a cause Kristin is very passionate about, along with her co-star Alexander Skarsgard, “Tails for Whales”. To learn more about this cause you can visit their website here.
