Hey people, already pissed off about having to wait a whole week to find out what the hell is going on? Well, here’s the preview for Episode Three to puzzle over. I’m still way too excited. I need another big ass drink. Enjoy!

Fans got a sneak peek of Andy Mackenzie in the number three teaser released by HBO. Mackenzie has a long list of credits under his belt from CSI to My Name is Earl and although it may look as if he can only play a Creepy Biker Dude, his acting ability is versatile. Just check out his demo reel and you will see why we quickly became Mackenzie fans.

We caught up with Andy while he was filming Burn Notice in sunny South Florida to ask him about his experience on True Blood and how he got the part of “Creepy Biker Dude.” Andy was nice enough to take a break from shooting guns from a Harley to share his experience on the set of True Blood, his vast knowledge of the industry, his band 33Degree and what’s up next in his career.

Andy Mackenzie: Oh, the “Creepy Biker.”  I actually have three different character names.  Starts with “Creepy Biker,” then “Wolf,” then shifts into “Biker” while I’m fighting with Eric.  You’ve seen some of that scene in one of the behind-the-scenes teasers.

The casting was a lot of fun.  It’s always crazy not knowing how it’s going to go and what the casting assistant is going to do when there’s action involved.  Not to mention, the room could’ve comfortably seated six but walked into eight, plus me. Read the material, did it pretty much how I wanted to do it; Alan simply replied “Fantastic.”  I left proud and pleased.

I did shoot two eps, “Beautifully Broken” (302) and “It Hurts Me Too” (303).  When I booked the role, I knew I would be showing 99 percent of my skin and I had about six weeks to hit the gym extra hard.  So, that was my life for those weeks.  Who knows if it will show?  The first ep was quick for me, not much for me to do.  Second ep was cool.  Alex and I spent some time chit chatting and reminiscing about some mutual Swedes and Finns.  We may get us all together sometime.  Between the chit chats was definitely different for me.  Stunts have been a big part of the job anyway but naked stunts are something else.  No place for pads.  “Closed set?”  Nah. I’m not shy.  Maybe Alex, since he had to … Read More »

People have seen the first three episodes of Season 3… And naturally, they’re blogging about them.

I’m torn about spoilers. Part of me (that would be the fan(g)) has no self-control. On the other hand, the sensible part of me doesn’t want to know, and that side of my brain has always regretted major spoilers.

For the moment, at least, the sensible side of me is beating my fan(g) into submission. But the Nest is committed to bringing you the most up-to-date information that we can. You can decide for yourself if you dare to know…

I haven’t read it, but televisionaryblog.com is the place to be if you’re hungry for more and just can’t wait.

Edit: Okay, so I made it about an hour before reading… *hangs head in shame* Actually, it’s a very well-written over-view, and it doesn’t give away spoilers (nothing that the Nest hasn’t already posted). I have a feeling that’s a contractual thing, but whatever the reason, I’m extremely grateful. All it served was to fan the flames of my enthusiasm for Season Three (not that I needed any help, but still). It seems as though Alan Ball and his team of writers brought their A game, and I cannot wait!

Lil Mirkk

Although I don’t recall a casting call going out, IMDb has Lil Mirkk listed as Trey for 4 Season 3 episodes (“It Hurts Me Too,” “9 Crimes,” “Trouble,” and the currently untitled 3.11).

A last name for the character is not listed, so I’m not sure if this is Trey Dawson, who appeared in the later books, or if he’s some other character who happens to have the same first name.

He doesn’t look how I pictured Trey, but then again, they never ask for my opinion on these things.

UPDATE: Lil Mirkk’s people have been kind enough to let us know that he’s NOT playing Trey Dawson. He’ll be another character who happens to have the same first name. Thank you to them for the clarification.

Andy Mackenzie

You may remember a casting call that went out awhile ago for True Blood season 3, episode 2:

[CREEPY BIKER] This biker/werewolf menaces Sookie, but just might find she’s not the easy victim he anticipated…1 line, 1 scene MAY RECUR

It looks like Andy MacKenzie has been added to the cast and will portray this Creepy Biker! He’s been on the set this week and shared these photos. What do you think? Does he look creepy enough to scare our heroine?

Seems like Sookie’s at Merlotte’s already folks! I can see her POS car parked right in front!

Hey Andy, how do we get True Blood bottles with skulls on them?

Andy will appear in episodes 2 (Beautifully Broken)  & 3 (It Hurts me Too). Andy has been in a gazillion films and TV and also will appear in the MacGruber film to be released this April.
