Casting News

The series have many months to find her, but True Blood is casting for Bill Compton's first wife.

The HBO hit has sent out the following casting notice, as it seeks an actress to play the character of Caroline Compton. She's in her 20s and described as:

Seen in 1866, a lovely, very strong, brave, well-bred and well-spoken Southern woman, Caroline pulls a shotgun on the intruder into her house - clearly prepared to use it - till she realizes it's her husband Bill, whom she was sure had died in the War.

Show creator Alan Ball hasn't been shy discussing other season three True Blood spoilers.

The drama doesn't premiere until the summer of 2010, but it's never too early to get psyched for one of the most exhilarating shows in TV history.

A quick, interesting casting tidbit from the world of True Blood today:

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, series creator Alan Ball said he’s in the process casting the role of Talbot. This character will be the “trophy husband” to Denis O’Hare’s King of Mississippi.

If that sounds at all confusing, you clearly don't watch True Blood. It's pretty much par for the unusual, fantastic course of this show.

Evan Rachel Wood won't be the only royalty on True Blood next season.

The HBO hit has cast Tony Award-winner Denis O’Hare in the role of the king of Mississippi, a character that will debut early in the show's third season.

O'Hare is a veteran actor. He's appeared in Milk and Duplicity, among many other movies. He also starred for 10 episodes on Brothers & Sisters.

The musician will come aboard the HBO series as Sookie's cousin, Hadley Hale.

Not much is known about the character, but we can verify that she'll be in scenes with Stephan Moyer, Alexander Skarsgard, and Evan Rachel Wood.
