CASTING NEWS: Meet Hallow Stonebrook

By  |  17 Comments

Well that was fast! Just a day after we asked who you thought should play Marnie/Hallow Stonebrook in True Blood season 4, Deadline announces that veteran theater actress Fiona Shaw has landed the role.

Fiona Shaw lands regular role on True BloodWARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Marnie is the timid, self-loathing, z-list palm reader who is overtaken by the spirit of a real witch – Hallow – and becomes a powerful witch. Originally the role was meant for someone younger, but is being adjusted to match Shaw’s skills. A revered theater actress and director, you probably recognize her as Aunt Petunia in the Harry Potter films. She’ll be joining True Blood as a regular in season 4.

What do you think? Not quite who I envisioned, but the character suddenly feels much more substantial and even frightening in the hands of someone like Shaw.
