How are excited are you to see Chris Meloni on True Blood this weekend? He talks to The Hollywood Reporter on his new role as Roman.

Meloni, who will make his first appearance on the show in season 5’s second episode (airing June 17), tells The Hollywood Reporter that Roman’s driving force is “the rightness of his cause.”

“His unbending drive to get what he wants,” says Meloni, who spoke to THR from the set of the upcoming Jackie Robinson biopic, 42, in which he plays Brooklyn Dodger manager Leo Durocher. “I think on the outside if you’re with him, you agree and you want to follow someone like that. If you disagree, then you think he’s a fanatic.”

Although Roman may be one of the older vampires in town, Meloni says his character isn’t as wise as his years.

“You know who acts like that? A child,” he says. “And I thought that was what kind of funny about it. Here you have this very impressive entity, yet underneath it all, he’s a big old baby.”

Meloni’s first scene was one of the tougher for him to shoot, he says, because he was “trying on this new person, this new thing.”

“You can do all the preparation you want, but at least I kind of find my character along the way,” he said.

As always with the HBO vampire drama, hints about what could be coming up in the show were few and far between. However, Meloni, did say a scene involving a possible traitor in the Authority was some of his favorite work on the show.

“That was a lot of fun. It’s what I signed on to do,” he said.
