New Werewolf on 'True Blood'

How I Met Your Mother star Joe Manganiello has been cast in a recurring role on HBO’s True Blood. He’ll be playing Alcide Herveaux, a ‘hot and sexy alpha male werewolf.’ Yes please. Apparently he’ll be another love interest for Sookie, but she said I could borrow him from time to time.

Manganiello joins a slew of newbies on the show including, Cooper Huckabee as Sam’s dad, J. Smith-Cameron as Sam’s estranged mother, Alfre Woodard as Lafayette’s mom and more.

There has been news of bit part casting, including actors Shannon Wells, C.C. Sheffield (The Bold and the Beautiful) and Natasha Alam.

So, is Alan Ball turning this into a Twilight-like show down with vamps vs. wolves? Do we care when werewolves look this tasty? Meow.
