The cast also seem to be very accessible to fans. Pity it won't rub off on a certain actor

FINALLY- a proper story- courtesy of Alexander Skarsgard.

QUOTE

�True Blood� will return for its fifth season on June 10, and joining the fold is Christopher Meloni, who Alexander said is a great addition to the cast.

�He�s amazing,� Alexander said of the former �Law & Order: SVU� star who returns to HBO (he previously starred in prison drama �Oz�) in the new role of Roman, who is part of �True Blood�s� Vampire Authority.

�It wasn�t easy. His first day was basically him coming in. It was five pages of dialogue. Half of it was in Aramaic,� the Swede continued. �That was like, �Welcome to the show, Chris.� But he�s a trooper, a really amazing actor � obviously � and a great guy. We�ve had a lot of fun together on the show.�

Edit: I forgot the link but it's posted lots of places.

Pics here, including one of Roman https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...44888562&type=1 Someone said they saw a promo with him too. Edit: think I was wrong about the promo, think it was just the pic. All the Authority people are sharply dressed. Guess that is the stake that he was talking about. Did anyone notice the ring?

Could be fun.

think you are right alanis49

these must be Chris'/Romans hands

the ring and these long, slim fingers grabbing the stake... you must be right

If anyone had doubts of him fitting into True Blood this short promo will wipe them away. Let's hope there are more before June. I can't wait! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yR3O9OkM-Y

This means that, at the very least, we won't have to wait past June 17th for fresh Meloni. Chris's IMDb page does also say that he's in the first episode but it isn't clear in the episode description. The actors, including Paquin etc, don't have all their episodes for Season 12 added to IMDb yet.

So, Roman has a girlfriend? Spoiler alert via VULTURE

QUOTE

"Well, we don't have as many werepanthers on SVU," he said. Meloni plays a 500-year-old vampire who's "a man with an agenda," Meloni told us. "I smack around [Alexander] Skaarsgard and [Bill] Moyer. I fuck someone else up, and I have a girlfriend, so that's fun." Meloni says True Blood on the whole has been an enjoyable change of pace, minus one thing: "It's been very freeing, except for the fact that I get off the show where I had to wear a coat and tie every day and they put me in a suit and tie every day."
