SPOILERS: Casting Call for True Blood Episode 3.05 (UPDATED)

The casting call for True Blood episode 3.05, titled “Trouble”, just went out to the agencies. Let’s see what scoop we can glean from the new characters being cast.

We’re getting a flashback to 900 A.D. where we’ll meet Eric’s father, Ulfrick, and mother, Astrid. Ulfrick is described as in his 40s to 50s, warm but battle scarred. He’s a Swedish Viking king who wants Eric to learn responsibility and to behave as a prince should, causing some tension in their otherwise solid father-son relationship. Astrid is in her 30s, also described as warm, and has a new baby.

Back in the present, we’ll meet Colonel John Flood, a man in his 50s to 60s, dresses like a golfer, has a military-style haircut, and is a Wolf Pack Leader. Sookie and Alcide are surprised at how he responds to recent events.

We’ll also meet Summer, a super positive, nice girl in her 20s who goes to church with Hoyt. She’s attracted to him in a chaste way, which should be an interesting change from Jessica.

Updated 02.05.10: Spoiler TV noticed an additional casting call for this episode, which ought to have a lot of Truebies checking their schedules for availability. The role is for a Buxom Swedish Servant Girl in her 20s. She doesn’t have any lines, but is caught, topless, with Eric in a flashback to 900 A.D.
