Sam on Sam
I know, it sounds like a new Dr. Seuss book, but may I at least have some credit for originality? Anyway, Sam Trammell has a lot to say about his character and working on True Blood with Alan Ball and the rest of the cast. Newsarama.com shares Sam’s thoughts on Sam with us.
There’s a whole lot of crazy going on in the fictional Louisiana town of Bon Temps, which serves as epicenter of Southern style weird in HBO’s cult vampire hit, True Blood. Murder, telepaths, “outed” vampires that want equal rights with humans, and seedy underground clubs that appeal to humans with a fetish for fangs. Creator Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) is pulling out all the stops when it comes to exploring small-town secrets and sexy decadence in his small screen adaptation of Charlaine Harris’ bestselling, contemporary vampire series.
And it’s obviously working as week after week, Ball continues to woo audiences with his audacious mix of explicit sexuality, startling gore and genteel Southern gothic romance. After only two episodes, HBO renewed True Blood for a second season giving genre fans the rare opportunity to safely allow themselves the chance to invest in a quirky show like this.
