In an exclusive interview from the red carpet premiere of his new film, The Edge of Darkness, Denis O’Hare (aka the King of Mississippi) shared a moment from filming True Blood’s third season:
“[...]I had this great scene recently with Vampire Bill and it was a scene between two people talking about the people that they love, and what you do with that love. Because my boyfriend in the thing is 700 years old…I’m 2300 years old and we’ve been together for 700 years. And I have this great line where I say, ‘Spend eternity together – that’s commitment.’ But, you know, the script is deep. It’s not just frivolous, and I love that about it.”
I love how he said in the interview that in the books the Vampire King of Mississippi is 22 with blue eyes and he’s not 22 with green eyes. I love that they are using older actors for these parts. It reaches so many more audience members. There absolutely should be a 2300 year old vampire who was 48 when he was turned. Who needs another 22 year old in the liturgy. I’m so glad Alan is mixing things up.
Right there with ya on that!
