One-On-One Interview with Actor Todd Lowe of True Blood

Very nice, lengthy interview with Todd Lowe( Terry Bellefluer) from LaSplash. I would note that Terry is a Texas boy, his IMDb says he was born in Houston but grew up in Humble. Remember the "H " is silent !!! Do you think you've never been to Humble?? If you've ever landed at Intercontinental Airport in Houston ( IAH) you've been damn close !

From hindsight, actor Todd Lowe could be categorized as a brooding, laidback guy with not a care in the world. As you get to know him, there’s something really alluring about him. There’s a sense of naiveté that clearly resonates in his demeanor and the way he carries himself. With an extensive theatre background from The University of Texas at Austin under his belt, Lowe has parlayed his craft into the world of television by landing guest starring roles on WALKER: TEXAS RANGER and WITHOUT A TRACE.

Texas native Todd Lowe (TRUE BLOOD) and (GILMORE GIRLS) is Hollywood's latest rising star He’s also not a stranger to film where he can be seen in movies such as: THE PRINCESS DIARIES, WHERE THE HEART IS and REDLINE.

In 2002, Lowe landed a part as a recurring character and a cult following on the WB hit series GILMORE GIRLS as Zack van Gerbig. He found himself acting opposite Alexis Bledel and Lauren Graham. Eventually, due to the popularity of his character of Zach, he became a series regular. With the success of the show under his belt, he was able to pursue being a musician. He even got the chance to play guitar and sing on the show as well. Now, Lowe has created quite a buzz as sympathetic yet obscure war vet Terry Bellefleur on Alan Ball's HBO hit vampire series TRUE BLOOD acting opposite Anna Paquin. I had the pleasure of interviewing this charismatic individual who I’ve come to have known for a number of years. What makes Lowe really fascinating is that he is genuinely a great guy with an obscure and funny personality that is infectious. As we were setting up a meeting place for our personal interview, instead of sticking to the original plan of meeting at a local coffee shop in Hollywood, he phones at the last minute to change the meeting place to where he could have a drink. Needless to say, I felt like William Miller did when he chased the band Stillwater in the film ALMOST FAMOUS.
As we chatted over Irish coffee at a local dive bar/restaurant in Silverlake under heat lamps, we reminisced about the good times back in Austin, Texas and caught each other up on mutual friends who have migrated to Los Angeles. Needless to say, the evening was filled with laughs that range from talks about martial arts, to waxing rhetoric and (in true Texan-esque form) lighting cigarettes with space heaters only because there weren’t any available lighters around.
