Work ensures I never get much time on the sofa with wife and co-star Anna Paquin, says True Blood's Stephen Moyer

MANY modern couples are kept apart by their jobs – long hours, business travel and endless back-to-back shifts mean it’s not uncommon for family life to be reduced to passing ships in the night and text-message romance.
But few relationships will ever be as distant, and as geographically difficult as that of True Blood lovers Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin, who spend at least half of the year apart chasing movie work all over the world.
In fact, according to the charming Mr Moyer, the only time that he and his Kiwi-born wife actually get to spend any quality time together, is when they are on the True Blood set watching the other one in an undead sex scene with a co-star. And often while covered in sticky fake blood.
The Essex-born actor, who has become an international pin-up as southern gentleman vampire Bill Compton, is excited that he’s finally about to return to his day job on the HBO show after another busy, globe-trotting summer and autumn.

Stephen Moyer : He's got the bite stuff

Out for blood?
Nope, but perhaps just out for some "poppyrock-jive-jazzy-fusion," as Stephen Moyer once dubbed the kind of music he used to make with his old band, and which there may or may not have been some of at the music shop he was spotted at in Toronto not too long ago.
The austere leading vampire from True Blood. Unincognito. In Toronto. At Steve's. On Queen. That would be the audiophile institution that's also a Sherwood Forest of hanging guitars. And before he could even really find where the "poppy-rocky-jive-jazzyfusion" section, he was recognized, pawed, lured into a say-cheese. Browsing, postHBO-stardom? Clearly not what it used to be.

Stephen Moyer Teases 'True Blood' Season 5: It Could 'Upset A Lot Of People'

We're still a few weeks away from the finale of "True Blood"'s bewitching fourth season, but that certainly doesn't mean it's too early to speculate about the recently announced fifth season.
To wit, when we caught up with Vampire Bill himself, Mr. Stephen Moyer, at the junket for his mystery-thriller "The Caller" (opening in limited release today), we couldn't help but beg for some scoop straight from Bon Temps. And Stephen delivered, hinting that this season's arc is setting us up for potentially bigger things to come.

'True Blood': Stephen Moyer weighs in on Bill and Sookie's future

Fans of True Blood’s Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) have had a rough season. First, his lady love Sookie (Anna Paquin) was AWOL for more than a year in the fairy world, only to have Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) claim “ownership” of her when she returned. Then, to make matters worse, the Nordic vampire’s Lapland-cold heart thawed after witches made him forget his thousand-year history of slaughter. Suddenly, Eric was a lovesick puppydog, and fans of Bill watched in horror as he and Sookie engaged in some epic moonlit shagging. And if that didn’t make you think it’s hard out here for a vamp, last week Bill found himself dragged off by the same coven that had cursed Eric. Maybe Stephen Moyer can bare his fangs and help us make sense of Bill’s ill fortune.

Will and Kate meet the True Blood Vampire ! British Royals Hollywood Party to include Stephen Moyer

There’s a long list of Hollywood players involved in the royal weekend starting tonight. Mostly, it’s all about BAFTA/LA’s Brits to Watch, who will all be introduced to Prince William and Kate Middleton. This is a real score for BAFTA/LA.
But the list is largely of fine actors etc who are mostly unknown to Americans. So add Stephen Moyer, the head vampire from “True Blood.” Moyer wasn’t one of the Brits to Watch since he’s already a star, but I’m told HBO got him in there because he’s hot and everyone wants to meet him.
Kate Middleton had best wear a high collar when she’s around him!

Stephen Moyer: Season 4 Ends in a ''Big Bag of Crazy''

Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) says Bill needs a teddy bear or something: The solitude’s getting to him.

“[It’s] pretty dark times for the Billster,” Moyer tells Channel Guide. “He is pretty much alone. The only one he has left is Jessica [Deborah Ann Woll], his progeny. What we will see is him taking on a more responsible position in terms of looking after her. I’ve been very happy about that, getting to work with Deborah Ann, because she’s just extraordinary.”

Well, maybe people will come crawling back to Bill once all their other friends are killed off. Stephen says this season will culminate in “a big bag of crazy” and will have characters dropping like flies.

Stephen Moyer Got Bitten by the Acting Bug Young

Stephen Moyer

You don't expect the genteel vampire Bill Compton to roll into dinner on a neon green longboard on wheels, but that's what Stephen Moyer, the actor who plays him, did when Back Stage met him near his Venice, Calif., home. "I go everywhere with this," the British actor says about his eco-friendly mode of transportation. The down-to-earth Moyer, it turns out, is full of surprises, as is the case with his HBO series, which kicks off its fourth season this weekend. As the song "I'm on Fire" coincidentally played overhead (Bill is highly combustible in daylight), Moyer revealed to Back Stage his real-life story, which has more parallels to Billy Elliot than to Bill Compton.

Moyer landed his delicious "True Blood" gig thanks to being unceremoniously dumped from another L.A. pilot he was hired on but never got to shoot. "We did the table read, and I'd been offered the part, and me and a bunch of other actors from that show got let go at the table read. It was incredibly depressing," confesses Moyer, who flew back to his London home defeated and vowed not return to pilot season, at least for that year. The casting directors of that pilot, however, had something else in mind.

‘True Blood’s’ Stephen Moyer: Sookie and Eric romance will be ‘great for the show’

LA Times is really doing great interviews ..

If you’re talking about “True Blood,” it’s the inevitable question that arises — Team Bill or Team Eric? The vampires duel for the affections of telepathic cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) on the HBO series adapted from Charlaine Harris‘ bestselling novels, and each has his loyal core of supporters. But Stephen Moyer, who plays Southern gentleman vampire Bill Compton and is married to Paquin, insists that, off screen, there’s no animosity between Alexander Skarsgard, the towering Swedish actor who portrays Viking Eric Northman, and himself. In fact, he believes that the romance that might be brewing between the two blonds could inject new life into the already vibrant show, which returns for its fourth season June 26. Moyer recently spoke to Hero Complex contributor Gina McIntyre about the appeal of the Alan Ball-created series and the enduring appeal of all things vampire — even “Twilight” — hinting, too, about what audiences might expect from Bill in the coming weeks.

True Blood' Star Stephen Moyer Flips Car in Dramatic Racetrack Mishap

Anna Paquin breathed a sigh of relief on Friday after her husband and 'True Blood' co-star, Stephen Moyer, survived a dangerous crash behind the wheel of a race car in Southern California.

The 41-year-old actor rushed to be a guest driver at the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race, according to RadarOnline, on very little sleep.

Before the race, Moyer had reportedly been working on the set of HBO's 'True Blood' until 6 a.m. Friday, after which his only downtime was one hour of sleep that morning, plus a power nap around lunchtime Friday.

Moyer's crash occurred after a sharp bend when his car plowed into a tire barrier, rolling his car. The Long Beach Press-Telegram reports that his vehicle did a 360-degree flip before landing back on its tires. Moyer walked away, uninjured, and even gave a thumbs-up to the crowd.

He later told the press, "I want to apologize to the rest of the drivers for ruining everyone's qualifying session."
