"True Blood" Taps Rutger Hauer as Series Regular

When HBO's "True Blood" returns for season six, there will be a new face in town.
Veteran actor Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) has joined the show as a series regular, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
While details about Hauer’s character are mostly under wraps, TV Line – who first reported the casting – reports that Hauer will play Macklyn, who has a deep and dark connection to Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and her brother, Jason (Ryan Kwanten).
"True Blood’s" fifth season – which was Alan Ball’s final as showrunner – saw Sookie and Jason on a mission to find out who really killed their parents. A vampire named Warlow seems to be to blame, and that story line is most likely to be explored more when the show returns for season six.
