Armchair Casting Director: 'True Blood' wolf hunt by Michael Ausiello

Who do you think ?

This oughta get the True Blood-thirsty among you salivating! Since Alan Ball has confirmed that season 3 will make an animal attraction of the werewolf Alcide (who debuted in the third Sookie novel, Club Dead), I thought I — and, in turn, you — should help the series’ busy, busy creator on his hunt for just the right actor to sink his teeth into the juicy part. My suggestions:

Henry Cavill: If The Tudorsother heartthrob can look that good in tights and frilly shirts, we can’t imagine he’d fare worse with back hair front and back. The question is, could he rock the role without an English accent?

Benjamin Bratt: The former Cleaner star may seem a little long in the tooth to strike up the necessary chemistry with Anna Paquin, whose Sookie he helps search for Bill. But remember, her currently-MIA almost-fiance is hundreds of years older!

I know he's already a big star on Supernatural, but I want Jared Padalecki!

Rita said...

Well i have narrowed it down to 2
Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Ben Browder
is how i pictured Alcide now is the hard part,which one i don't know.

Lady Jane said...

Well before he back out on Miss Congeniality 2, I would have probably picked Pratt

Definately...Gerard Butler of PS I love you. He'd make a great Were;)

Everybody keeps picking guys that are way too old, not just here but everywhere! It needs to be someone in their late 20's early 30's for sure. Jared Padalecki is good, I think.

Jeffery Dean Morgan would be great as Calvin Norris, though, and Hotshot is going to make an appearance next season....

I personally like Jesse Bradford. He's been a cutie I've had my eye on since the Baz Luhrmann version of "Romeo & Juliet" and "Swimfan". He's 30 years old now and even though he's only 5'8", they can make him appear taller than that on screen.

That guy Henry Cavill is gorgeous. He would be perfect, he's young, good looking....just perfect for True blood

I've always imagined Alcide to be Latin or Cajun. My pick Eduardo Verastegui, look him up, leader of the pack writed all over him.

I think you guys are right about needing to find a younger actor

Sunshineonmyshoulder said...

Alcide is a Big, Beefy, Man in the books. I think someone in their late 20s or early 30s, muscular, brawny, tall (as tall as Eric), with eyes that... make you want to sigh.

Rita said...

I have changed my mind,Jake Gyllenhaol would make a nice Alcide,
about the right age.

Shemar Moore if the actor can be black ( I know it's unforgivable, but I can't remember if Charlaine ever mentioned Alcide's skin colour in the books, Brazilian actor Reynaldo Gianecchini if not... Check them out and then tell me what you think!
