According to Deadline Hollywood Ford (pictured right) will play Portia Bellefleur, a classic Southern beauty who runs her own law practice. The character is the sister of Bon Temps’ bumbling detective Andy (Chris Bauer). The news comes just days after Irish actress Fiona Shaw was cast in the series regular role of Marnie, a self-loathing medium who becomes possessed by a witch.
Look for more on “True Blood” as it comes, including what we’re sure will be another stellar ad campaign.
