True Blood’s Joe Manganiello Teases a New Side of Alcide

Now here’s a quote that should stir up interest about the upcoming fifth season of True Blood. MTV caught up with Ryan Kwanten, Janina Gavankar, Carrie Preston and Joe Manganiello at the HBO Golden Globes party and Manganiello dropped this tidbit about his character Alcide Herveaux.

"We've seen that he's a sweet guy; we've seen that he's the kind of guy that would be great in a relationship," Joe said. "I think that you're going to be introduced to a side of him that's going to slam you up against the wall and go for it."
 

In other True Blood news, Deadline is reporting that Twilight and Sanctuary star Christopher Heyerdahl has been cast as Dieter Braun, “an ancient, powerful vampire who plays a large part in the intelligence of the Authority and especially enjoys enhanced interrogation.”

So much happened this week on True Blood, and it was pretty spectacular.  Jason (Ryan Kwanten) stops the VAMP team from trying to blow up the witch emporium, and informs them of the killer force field.  Apparently, Bill (Stephen Moyer) actually thought Sookie (Anna Paquin) would stay away because he said so.  Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) knew better. 
 
After Marnie (Fiona Shaw) kills one of her former followers, Antonia’s spirit breaks free, so Marnie has to use a spell to bind them back together.  Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) relates this to the other captives and Jesus (Kevin Alejandro) tells him they’re all screwed.  Using the dead girl’s body and his brujo powers he secretly works with Lafayette to unbind the two witches.  Meanwhile, the others convince Marnie to negotiate with the vampires.
