Is Denis O'Hare preparing to reanimate
his gay character on the HBO vampire drama True Blood?
In season 3, O'Hare's flamboyant
Russell Edgington, vampire king of Mississippi, was entombed in
concrete after he lost his partner of 700 years, Talbot, played by
Theo Alexander.
O'Hare told The Hollywood Reporter
that he's considering returning in season 4.
“I left them on a high,” O'Hare
told the paper at the WGA Awards on Saturday. “They have been
very, very nice to me, and they tell me that they think I'm going to
come back.”
“Someone discussed a possible idea
with me, which, of course, I can't tell you,” he said. “But it's
a very cool idea. It's not far fetched, but it's not something that
you would see coming.”
O'Hare
added that he'll begin work on the Clint Eastwood directed J.
Edgar
later this month.
True Blood is the creation of
openly gay director, writer Alan Ball. Ball is best known for
penning the 2000 Oscar-winning movie American Beauty and more
recently HBO's gay-inclusive Six Feet Under.
Season 4 is
expected to premiere in June.
