Kevin Alejandro Talks A Bit About True Blood (minor spoilers)

In an interview for Southland, his day job, with EW.com, Kevin Alejandro talks a bit about his upcoming role on True Blood as Jesus Velasquez:

How are you handling the transition from such a starkly realistic show to, well, True Blood?
They’re really completely opposite characters. It’s what every actor really wants.

What can you tell us about your character?
I’m introduced pretty early in this next season as a caretaker for Lafayette’s mother, who’s played by Alfre Woodard. I’m his love interest, and that’s all I can say. It unwinds tremendously – I mean, you know True Blood. There’s a lot of stuff going on. I got lucky. It’s one of the shows that I watch and love, and now I get to be here.

Is your character a vampire?
That I cannot tell you. I really don’t know. They’re really good at keeping it secret from everyone. I think it’s kind-of cool not knowing.
