William Sanderson Talks True Blood and Bud Dearborn

IGN’s Matt Fowler has a great interview with William Sanderson, who plays Sheriff Bud Dearborn. Read what he has to say about season two of True Blood and staying sane in the midst of vampires and who knows what else.

IGN TV: Some of the characters on True Blood head off to Dallas in Season 2. What about your character, Sherriff Bud Dearborn? Does he get to leave town, or does he stick around the home front?

William Sanderson: Heh, I’ve got to be careful. They’ve told me not to reveal too much. I get emails from True Blood, and from Lost, telling me not to talk too much about it. But he (Bud)…well, I don’t know if they really need him in Dallas. It’s a good question though. I don’t mean to be evasive. Bud’s a little lazy, if that helps at all. I don’t want to say anything to get me in trouble with HBO, they’ve been very good to me (laughs). I did Deadwood with them and they were so great. I’m just so happy. He (Bud) is a normal character. Yes, I’m playing a normal character right now and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
