IGN TV chats with True Blood's leading men. by Matt Fowler
Waiting in the press line at The Paley Festival's True Blood night, one could still see the line of fans outside the interview tent. They were a mix of local hardcore fans and people from all over the world who had flown in to see the stars of their favorite bawdy vampire soap - and most of them had been waiting there since the morning.
I got a chance to have some few choice words with some of the featured players on the show. Nelsan Ellis, who played the fan favorite character of Lafayette, in Season 1, was in attendance. There are a ton of people that hope that one of the ways that the writers of the show will deviate from the books is by keeping his character alive – even though the last scene in Season 1 played out just like it did in the first book, with the discovery of his dead body. Still, he was there so I decided to ask him what his, hands down, favorite scene was as Lafayette. "AIDS burger. I loved loved loved that scene," Said Ellis. "We did five takes and for all five I just loved doing it. You know, it's always fun to beat someone's ass."
