Notes: 'True Blood' is an American television series created and produced by Alan Ball. Its episodes started in 2008. It is based on 'The Southern Vampire Mysteries' series of novels by Charlaine Harris, detailing the co-existence of vampires and humans in Bon Temps, a fictional, small town in northwestern Louisiana. The series centers on the adventures of Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a telepathic waitress with an otherworldly quality.
In the novel, Rutger's character is Sookie and Jason’s great-grandfather and Claude and Claudine’s grandfather. He is tall and slim, extremely handsome with long pale gold hair. He is a lovely creature, a fairy prince who has powerful enemies and wants to keep his new relationship with his great-granddaughter secret.
Rutger's Notes:
Working on 'True Blood' is a very wonderful experience which I was hoping for but did not expect to become true. The crew is an extremely hardworking professional group and it seems many of them know what to do fast without so many words and Ii have seen this rarely.
The different directors who I get to work with keep me extremely on my toes and constantly challenge me. The readings of each episode are a crowded room, writers, director, producers, actors and all the people involved and I have never seen a room with fifty or more people trying to get a sense of where the overall story of the series will take them.
Part of the nervous excitement is that no-one knows, until that moment, what is up. Some twenty five actors then give it there first read voice. These readings are the only place where they all meet and then it is off to work.
Last week we were in -2° C every night from sundown until dawn in the coldest hills of the Californian mountains. As you may know the work started, for most,just before Christmas. And as you may sense, this is a handful and more.
