He has to be Calvin Norris…the beard…the rough arond the edges but kinda sweet…definately Calvin from Hot Shot guys…though i guess Russel is an option too.

My guess is Russell Edington, KING of Mississippi… he DOES reference “The King” in his comments.And he sure doesn’t look like Bubba!

His appearance reminds me of the Calvin Norris character, the head of the were panthers of Hotshot.

Sam’s brother – Tommy Mickens.
My second choice bet would be Talbot – this guy played alot of “sinister” type parts in Australia.

    I’ll agree. Sam’s brother is very likely if it’s his older brother. Too old for Alcide. Alcide is supposed to be Sookie’s age, but with AB you never know. Maybe one of the weres from Hot Shot. Isn’t Calvin Norris in his 40’s???

Well another Aussie joins the cast (Yeah, I know, he was born in NZ but has been in OZ since he was about 5 and most of his acting has been on OZ TV)! I like Grant and I wonder what part he will play! He is a real Aussie boy and would be fun on the set! I’ve actually met him, so at least I have sen one member of the TB cast in person!!

    I am a kiwi, and am proud to say he is also kiwi! Although I know he would probably associate more to australia.. He has done alot of work in NZ, mostly with kiwi white trash tv show ‘outrageous fortune’. Its outrageous to say the least, so he would be perfect in True Blood. My guess is he is probably tommy mickens or talbot.. Or a long shot? franklin mott!! He would be perfect as a bad ass vamp.

I’m guessing that he’s playing Alcide. He’s too pretty to give a bit-part to.

    I agree with you. Looks too good to give a small part too. And for how enthusiastic he sounds? It seems to me that its a relatively big part! cant wait for next season!!
