Kevin Alejandro Interview
After Elton has an interview with Kevin Alejandro. He will be playing Jesus, Lafayette’s love interest this season.
Check out the interview here.
Here is an excerpt:
AE: True Blood is obviously a very zeitgeist-y show. What it’s like to step onto a show that’s got that much buzz about it?
KA: Actually, it’s very intimidating. You go through, you do your thing, and you do the best you can and you get the role and it’s exciting. And you know, for me it was the first day at the table read – I was like, “Phew. Okay, now I have to prove to these people that I didn’t just do a fluke audition.”
You come in and you listen to all these great characters – I mean, everyone on the show is a character actor – they’re so good at creating these people. It’s quite a bit intimidating. I hope I can live up to it.
Then I have to force myself to get over it, like dude, get out of your head. You know, play with these people. That’s the whole thing is I had to let myself go enough to be able to go toe to toe with these people, because they’re not thinking about that. So yeah, very intimidating, but it’s also a driving force to make me want to do better.
