Deadline is reporting that Christopher Heyerdahl will be playing an ancient vampire on True Blood this season in a recurring role.

Christopher Heyerdahl, who plays an ancient vampire in the Twilight Saga movies, will now play one in another screen adaptation of a popular book series — this time on TV. Heyerdahl is joining HBO’s hit vampire drama True Blood in a recurring role. He will portray Dieter Braun, an ancient, powerful vampire who plays a large part in the intelligence of the Authority and especially enjoys enhanced interrogation. That is familiar territory for Sanctuary alum Heyerdahl, who played the ancient Volturi vampire Marcus in three of the Twilight movies: New Moon, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and the upcoming Part 2 (photo on left). Additionally, he played a demon in an arc on the CW’s Supernatural. Heyerdahl, repped by Open Entertainment’s Lesa Kirk, currently co-stars on the AMC drama series Hell On Wheels playing Norwegian badass The Swede. The period Western was recently renewed for a second season.

According to Linda Purl’s Twitter account, she will be playing the role of Barbara Pelt (Debbie’s mother) in Season 5 of True Blood and she will begin shooting next week and will be recurring this season.

Linda has been in a number of TV Shows (my favorite being Happy Days as Ashley Pfister/Fonzie’s woman). Recently she was on Homeland and The Office.

Looks like episode 3 will be entitled, “Whatever I Am, You Made Me” and there are several pretty predictable characters for season 5 being cast if you’re a book reader. Careful now, there are plot spoilers in here. Read More »

Chris Meloni, formerly of Law & Order: SVU, will definitely portray a powerful vampire in True Blood’s fifth season according to series creator Alan Ball.

TVLine reports: According to executive producer Alan Ball, the former Law & Order: SVU front man will play, ”An ancient, powerful vampire who holds the fate of Bill and Eric in his hands.”

Not only that, but his character is “the mastermind of the mainstream movement.“ Hmmm, so I guess this guy is a friend of Mr. Bill Compton?

So we can assume this dude is part of the authoritarian authority? I think I’m excited, yet I’ve never seen this guy in anything. People are excited… Yes?

Can this woman get her hair high enough to interfere with air traffic?

Our friends over at Wetpaint.com found an interesting tweet from Carolyn Hennesy. Read on for her possible role in True Blood.

As we wait for True Blood to start filming Season 5 next week, new casting calls are flowing in, this time for episode 2, entitled  (for now, at least)  “Authority Always Wins”
