From vampires to ... more conventional blood-suckers.
"True Blood" co-star Mehcad Brooks has joined ABC's midseason legal drama "The Deep End" as a regular.
On the show, set at a prestigious L.A. law firm, Brooks will play a new character, Malcolm Bennet, an associate at the firm.
The casting raises questions about the future of his "True Blood" character, Benedict "Eggs" Talley, who was introduced in the first-season finale.
Brooks was then promoted to regular for the vampire drama's second season and has been prominently featured on the show this summer.
Brooks, who also co-starred on ABC's "Desperate Housewives," is repped by Innovative and Mosaic.
