"True Blood" has crowned a new king… of Louisiana, at least.

Arliss Howard (Full Metal Jacket, The Lost World: Jurassic Park) is joining the HBO drama’s forthcoming sixth season in the series regular role of Louisiana Governor Truman Burrell, TVLine has learned exclusively.



The character is described as a good ol’ boy politician who has a major beef with vampires ever since his wife ran off with one, leaving him as a single father to their only daughter.

Politically savvy and perhaps overly ambitious, Truman tends to let his personal aspirations overshadow his humanity.



"True Blood‘s" sixth season is slated to premiere in June.
