Christopher Heyerdahl must be having a bloody good time playing vamps. The actor played the Volturi Marcus in the Twilight Saga films. Deadline reports Heyerdahl is joining the cast of True Blood as Dieter Braun, a vampire who gathers intelligence of the Authority and enjoys interrogation to secure information. The actor’s resume includes more horror geek cred including Supernatural and Sanctuary.
Christopher Meloni (Law & Order:SVU, Oz) is also joining True Blood next season.
Watch out Bill, Eric and Alcide – get ready for Team Christopher? TV Line reports that Christopher Meloni is joining Season 5 of True Blood as a regular cast member.
Creator Alan Ball say Meloni will play ”An ancient, powerful vampire who holds the fate of Bill and Eric in his hands.”
For 12 seasons Meloni played Detective Elliot Stabler on Law and Order: SVU. True Blood marks a return to HBO for Meloni who played Keller on Oz.
Meloni is starring in the Zach Snyder directed Superman reboot, The Man of Steel as Colonel Hardy.
No word yet on if Meloni’s character is from the Sookie Stackhouse series of books or a new one created by Alan Ball but expect him to do bad things next season.
