Veteran actor Stephen Root (News Radio, Office Space, No Country for Old Men) will be drinking blood on HBO.
Root has signed on for a three-episode story arc for the upcoming True Blood.
TB is based on the novels of Charlaine Harris and set in Louisiana in a world where vampires walk the earth.
Root will be playing Eddie Gautier, a lonely vampire that becomes “smitten” with Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis).
The show stars Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress and Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton, a vampire.
Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under, is producing the series.
This has certainly raised my own interest level in the series. I loved Root as radio station owner Jimmy James on News Radio.
