Casting Stephen Moyer as Vampire Bill

A Daily Variety article posted focused on the importance of casting for Drama Series. Several casting directors tha lend their opinions are our very own True Blood casting directors Libby Goldstein and Junie Lowry-Johnson.

When casting Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton both directors looked for, “an old soul with modern qualities.” “It was tricky,” replied Johnson, “We had to find someone in their 30s that you believed was 150 years old, and Steve had that quietness, that stillness, an older quality. You can believe that he has been alive for 150 years and lived many lives. The British accent helps too hahaha. Stephen Moyer gets some True Blood love for playing a very convincing Bill Compton.
