5/31/12


Tina Majorino has landed a role she can really sink her teeth into.

The "Veronica Mars" alumna and current "Bones" co-star has booked a recurring gig on "True Blood‘s" upcoming fifth season.

She’ll play a key member of the Vampire Authority’s support staff who first appears in Episode 3, which is scheduled to air June 24.





Also, Academy Award nominee and Emmy winner Alfre Woodard will return as Ruby Jean Reynolds, the schizophrenic mother of Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) last seen in season 3.

Ruby Jean was a patient in a local mental hospital and under the care of Jesus (Kevin Alejandro), who later went on to have a tragic romance with Lafayette.

Woodard was nominated for an 2011 Emmy — Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series — for the role. She’s set to appear in episodes 5 and 6 of the HBO series, and possibly more.



"True Blood‘s" fifth season premieres Sunday, June 10 at 9/8c on HBO.
