Rob Kazinsky has nabbed a key role on True Blood Season 6.

The British actor - who has appeared on episodes of Law & Order: Los Angeles and Brothers & Sisters - will be added to this HBO smash as a series regular next summer, coming on board as a faerie named Ben who gets close to Sookie and helps she and Jason better understand their family history.

Last month, it was also announced that veteran actor Rutger Hauer would play Macklyn, a shady and sinister figure with ties to the Stackhouse siblings.

True Blood Season 6 kicks off in June.
