Coen Bros. Regular Stephen Root To Play HBO Vampire In Alan Ball’s TRUE BLOOD!!

I am – Hercules!!





Stephen Root (“Newsradio,” “No Country For Old Men”) will play lonely vampire Eddie Gautier in “True Blood,” HBO’s new Louisiana vampire hourlong from screenwriter and “Six Feet Under” mastermind Alan Ball.

Root’s co-stars include Canadian/New Zealander Anna Paquin (the “X-Men” series) as telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse and Britisher Stephen Moyer (“The Starter Wife”) as vampire Bill Compton. Carrie Preston, the wife of Michael Emerson who played Ben Linus’ mom on “Lost,” is in it too.

The project, based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries novels by Charlaine Harris, is slated to hit HBO in September.
