SPOILERS: True Blood Episode 5.09 Casting Call

True Blood is heading into the home stretch in filming episodes for season 5. The casting call for episode 5.09 just went out, meaning that they’re about 75% finished with the season. The episode, titled “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”, begins filming around April 18 in Los Angeles.

We’re flashing back again, but this time it’s to Alcide’s past! True Blood is casting a young Alcide (age 14) and a young Debbie Pelt (also age 14). The young, “innocent” teens will be joined by Jackson, Alcide’s father, seen both in flashback and in the present (so I guess J.D. isn’t Alcide’s father). Jackson  is described as “a giant of a man, powerful and inspiring and heroic” when we see him in the 1980s, but in present day he’s a sad man in his 50s who’s given up on life. Jackson will be a recurring guest star.

Present-day action requires a male, Marilyn Manson-esque vampire in his 20s-40s and a sexy female vampire in her 20s. The casting call doesn’t give Faux Marilyn Manson any context, but his female counterpart is a customer at Fangtasia.

True Blood is also casting a reporter who interrogates Andy outside the Sheriff’s Office about…something.

What do you think, are you excited to see young Alcide? Given this episode’s title, who is in contention for world domination?
