Is Christopher Meloni Joining True Blood Season 5?

Please let this happen! TVLine reports that Christopher Meloni, most recently Detective Stabler on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, is in talks for a major role in True Blood season 5. HBO is mum on which character he’s in talks to play, but Ausiello says his sources are saying it’s an incredibly powerful vampire. Could that be a ruse? Could it be Quinn?!?!?! I can’t think of any major vampire roles that would fit his looks (yes, I know he’s 50, but he looks younger).

Updated: Wait a minute…could he be Dieter Braun? (Episode 5.02 casting call – SPOILERS) Not sure how “major” Dieter’s role is, but the physical description is apt.
