With this caliber of talented actors on the roster, they are bound to show up on some of our other favorite television shows. Here’s some of our favorite current and past cast members other projects:
The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a couple of pages on the fae club set on Season 5 of True Blood. Set designer, Suzuki Ingerslev, gives her behind-the-scenes details on the set and props.
Grotesque visages framing the doorways have special meaning to Ingerslev. “They’re a reference to season 4, when the faeries turned into goblins,” she says of the custom art. “The face is the thing I’m most proud of, even if the audience doesn’t get it.”
EW sure loves Joe Manganiello. He is featured in their ad for Entertainment Weekly Events (at their Comic-Con celebration on July 14th).
The magazine is dated August 10, 2012 (issue #1219) and contains 26 pages on 50 years of James Bond if you are interested. It is on newsstands tomorrow.

In this week’s past episode, we got more than a good look at how werewolves get down when Alcide and Rikki consumated their relationship all over the Herveaux bedroom. So when Joe Manganiello went on “Access Hollywood Live,” the topic of filming sex scenes was obviously a point of discussion with host Kit Hoover and guest host Derek Hough. Joe also revealed that his and Kelly Overton’s scene may be first sex scene to involve Hong Kong action wires. Check out the video of his interview where he talks about what’s it like to film a sex scene and teases what’s next for Alcide’s storyline.
