cast and characters

 

True Blood employs a large cast made up of regular central characters and a rotating group of non-permanent supporting characters. Although the series is based in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, a notable number of actors who are part of the cast hail from outside the United States. In an interview, Ball explained that he did not intentionally seek out "non-American" actors, but was willing to go anywhere he needed in order "to find the actor to bring the character to life." Ball went on to explain that, in the casting, there was more emphasis on who would convincingly portray the character rather than who would physically resemble the characters in the book. Noting that there is a clear difference between the characters and stories depicted in True Blood and those depicted in The Southern Vampire Mysteries, he described Harris as very understanding in terms of how his work was being reinterpreted.
