If you’re going to cast a new vampire on the HBO series “True Blood”, why not pick a guy who’s played the ancient Volturi vamp Marcus in three of the Twilight movies – New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and the upcoming Part 2 – as well as a creepy Swede in “Hell on Wheels” and a demon in an arc on the CW’s “Supernatural”? Makes sense to us.

According to Deadline, Christopher Heyerdahl is joining HBO’s hit vampire drama “True Blood” in a recurring role. He will portray Dieter Braun, an ancient, powerful vampire who plays a large part in the intelligence of the Authority and especially enjoys enhanced interrogation.

Also, during the red carpet interviews for this past Sunday night’s Golden Globes, Ryan Kwanten was asked what’s in store for viewers of the upcoming Season 5, and while of course he couldn’t say much, he did promise that we can expect more controversy than ever!

The fifth season of Alan Ball’s “True Blood” returns in the summer of 2012. Keep it here for what are sure to be lots of announcements in the coming weeks, and for more in the meantime visit “True Blood” on HBO.com.
