"TrueBlood" Stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer Speak!

I thought this little clip was interesting. It's TrueBlood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer -- Sookie and Bill -- interviewed at last month's ComicCon in San Diego. Interesting for a couple of reasons, actually...

#1. You get to hear their real accents, both of them definitely not Southern American; Anna is Canada-born, raised in New Zealand, Moyer is British.

#2. You get to see if they look good together in real life, as they've recently announced their engagement.



We know you haven't forgotten that TrueBlood airs Sundays at 9pm on HBO!

"TrueBlood" Now Even Better with Lizzy Caplan On Board!

We neglected to give a much-deserved shout-out to lovely and talented actress Lizzy Caplan who's now featured in HBO's immensely entertaining series TrueBlood. She's a Flaming Nose favorite for her horrifyingly truncated but spirited and courageous role in the nervewracking monster movie Cloverfield from earlier this year. Lizzy played Marlena, who met an gruesome and untimely end, as seen here in this behind-the-scenes featurette:


Now she's turned up as Amy, a highly-educated rich girl who gave it all up to embrace the metaphysical Gaia philosophy with the help of liberal snorts of vampire blood. Amy hooked up with Sookie's virile brother Jason (played rather endearingly by Ryan Kwanten), who's also been lured into using vampire enhancements to spice up his life, and they made beautiful sparkling lights together.

She's fascinated by his authenticity, and he's intrigued by her intellect and by her interest in him. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for this incredibly attractive pair!

TrueBlood continues to offer vivid and highly involving melodrama, stopping just short of soap opera, featuring one of the most diverse and delightful cast of characters -- and acting talent -- on TV. I can't think of three more unique young women characters than Anna Paquin's Sookie, Rutina Wesley's Tara, and now Lizzy Caplan's Amy. (Well, except for Elisabeth Moss' wonderful Peggy on Mad Men.)

Television is better than ever, my friends!
