Christopher Heyerdahl Joins True Blood
Christopher Heyerdahl was the actor that played one of the ancient vampires in the Twilight movies and it looks like he’s going to reprise the role of an elder vampire in the small screen. The actor has just been cast in HBO’s vampire series, True Blood. He will play no less than a powerful elder named Dieter Braun.
Dieter’s character is part of the Authority and his work is to interrogate vampires in his own brand or style. Whatever that is, we will find out in the coming season.
What I do know is that playing an ancient vampire or a supernatural is not new to the actor for in the Twilight series he was in all three movies. He was also in an episode on Supernatural, playing a demon.
Currently the actor can be seen in the AMC series Hells on Wheels and what’s really distinct about him is that his physical features in itself is already creepy and intimidating. The actor definitely has the mysterious air of the vampire.
