True Blood Actors on Stage
Broadway.com sent us the most interesting article about the stage roots of many True Blood actors. You’ll be surprised and as pleased as I was at what they revealed.

It’s always fun to spot a favorite stage actor in the movies or on TV. And in the case of HBO’s hit vampire series True Blood, stage vets are everywhere! Given the fact that show creator Alan Ball began his career as a playwright, it’s not really surprising that so many theatrically trained performers have taken up residence in the Bon Temps bayou—and in this new feature, we’ve gathered production shots of 10 vamps and shape-shifters (and the people who love them) as we enjoy seeing them: live and on stage!

The article takes a look at Anna Paquin, Nelsan Ellis, Denis O’Hare, Sam Trammell, Rutina Wesley, Carrie Preston, Chris Bauer, James Frain, J. Smith-Cameron (Melinda Mickens), and Zeljko Ivanek. Tony Awards and nominations pepper the history of these amazing actors, and that comes as no real surprise to us.
